tudósok /the scientists/
Budapest's avant-rock nerve

"Tudósok is known for it's consequent radical experimental language of music in the idiom of rock and jazz. Tudósok, it is The Scientist chose to do research in themselves, achieving the heights of musical and poetical expressionism and dadaism. Poet, musician and painter drMáriás, coming from the burning Yugoslavia has been working in Budapest since '91 with fellow musicians from Hungary. The band quickly became one of the most original and interesting actors of the Budapest new music scene for their concerts bursting with energy, epileptic rhythm, expessive poetry and absurd-like tales. Rooted in the civil-war and tensions in identity between East and West their music transmits a synthesis through a pure power of improvisation, avant garde attitude, deconstructed jazz and "neu"rock into an original, new scream that is joyful to hear. Captain Beefheart, Pere Ubu, Arto Lindsay, Lounge Lizards, Blurt, Nhe Zdahli and the Contorsions have all been mentioned to compare their music with, but they are something completely different, a unique new sound coming directly from the tragical and absurd present of East-Europe."
