BRAINS (H) + Valdez & the Dangerfields (UK)
Poortgebouw, Rotterdam
Entree: 4
BRAINS
The band exists since 1995. They live in Hungary in the outskirts of the capital, Budapest. In their music several styles can be found such as Drum & Bass, Hip Hop, Acid, Ethno. This mixture might derive from the different musical taste of the the group members. From the beginning they have been striving for making melodious sounds and for filling the songs’ content with jollity and optimism. Both good humour and gaiety consider to be very important for them and also helps them to entertain at a concert or in a videoclip. These features provide something new for the audience. Most of the lyrics are written in English but some of the songs are in Hungarian. Their program contains a lot of working up from Beastie Boys, Asian Dub Fundation, songs from Pulp fiction and many others. During the past 9 years they gave more than 300 concert in clubs, regularly on college-parties and on different rock festivals. They often play abroad in Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland. They have already played on the same stage as Asian Dub Foundation, Zion Train, Napalm Death etc.

VALDEZ & THE DANGERFIELDS
The highlight of the band’s time so far came the same month when they played the Full Moon in Bristol supporting Demob and punk legends the UK Subs. More gigs soon followed, and the band started to pick up international interest, culminating in bookings for their debut European tour in July 2003. However, around this time, Martin was finding it hard to commit to two bands so he decided to leave. His replacement was James 'Pez' Penzer from Exeter, who replied to an ad Lee placed in Martian Records. From this point on, the band have continued to raise their profile, playing their own brand of 'intellectualist punk' drawing influences from the Ramones, the Clash, the Manics, Black Flag and even Guns n' Roses. At present, the band are busy preparing to release a split 7" single with Bad Blood on the renowned German punk label Campary Records, as well as another self financed CD release.With a live set that will leave you blinded, Valdez are sure to be causing a musical, cultural and political insurrection near you.
