Devil's violinist from the land of Dracula

That´s Bartok? Even if you fear the Hungarian composer and pianist must be spinning in his grave - that's Bartok! It is also thrashy noise, but you can still hear the chords of the maestro. The audience is dancing pogo, ...when Szilvana is slapping the hungarian double bass, when Andras Tiborcz grabs the violin, when Hendrik Maas mistreats his guitar and Thomas Leisner punches his drums. When the Transsylvanians perform. They call their brewing of punkrock, ska, rap and hungarian roots : "Hungarian Speedfolk". And they're doing it with success. The audience at the CD-release party last Thursday at the Kulturbrauerei started dancing from the first note and did not stop until the end.

Once the band made a mistake. They played in front of an audience of real Hungarians and this audience was quite upset about their irreverent treatment of the musical traditions. Because of the turbulence of Hungarian history the music has been seen as an unchanging constant in the national conciousness. The Transsylvanians don't care too much about that and fuse Hungarian folk, pop, rock and polka in their own style.. (Zitty)

The Transsylvanians are an Hugarian-German band from Berlin. They offer amazing Bartok versions as well as dark- folkrock or exciting acoustic played punk rock to party - an album, captures in the studio the excitement of one of the busiest live bands around, bridging the gap between Apocalyptica and Marta Sebestyen.
