Biography
Pécs, Hungary (1987 – 2010)
Founded in 1987, in the town of Pécs, Hungary, Kispál és a Borz was probably the most successful Hungarian alternative rock group to date.
Pécs is where all founding members come from (family name, surname): Bräutigam Gábor (drums), Kispál András (guitars), Lovasi András (vocal, guitars), Ózdi Rezső (bass).
The last three studied in the same high school, then showed up at the same workplace: the state gas provider company where some of the city’s musicians wound up, as there it was feasable to rehearse during work time.
Kispál wrote some guitar themes used in the first songs during his military service (which was compulsory at the time). Lovasi also played together with Bräutigam at first during his, in a club for officers.
The band’s name is the combination of Borz (‘Badger’) - which was Ózdi’s idea - and Kispál (btw litterally ‘Littlepaul’), as the most fitting of the members’ names, because Kispál didn’t want an animal name - such as his previuos bands had had - again.
Words in the beginning were written by Lovasi and Ózdi, but Ózdi stepped down in 1988 and the group opted for staying a trio, so Lovasi shifted to bass and remained the only lyricist. 1988’s 4-track demo was followed by a longer one - Tökéletes helyettes (‘Pefect alternant’) in ‘89 , whereof songs can be found on following albums till 1997.
The trio played some kind of keen and inventive “beat” music which let enough room for each instrument: Kispál plays all over his guitars in a charming way, which is very well matched by Lovasi’s melodic bass playing, while Bräutigam is matchless with his catchy beat. Lovasi’s keen vocals recall folk music.
