Csaba Pintér - bass

1980-1986
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
Gabor Kukovecz, Tibor “Pepe” Varga, and Endre Paksi played together in an amateur group, and then started military services. After leaving the army they decided to take music seriously and played with dozens of drummers. They had gigs, and followers, including an as-yet unknown guy named József Kalapács. After a gig József walked up to the band saying he could sing with them. Like in a Hollywood bestseller he became a legendary member of the Hungarian rock-scene. His arrival made some waves, not only because he brought his friend Laci Nemeth, who was also a singer. ‘82 was the year when “Kalács” officially became the lead singer, and the band counted eight members. Because of their theatrical on-stage antics they really needed eight men. For example, for the song Ave Cezar, one of them dressed up like Cezar. The band has been using Orff’s Carmina Burana as an intro since that time. The nickname of Gabor Kukovecz (Hangman) derived from his costume too. “Kalács” and Józsi Németh spread the word wearing panther skin waistcoats in songs like Cirkusz és Rács( Circus and Grating) and Gladiátor (Gladiator). Because Gábor used to learn from Prognózis guitarist István Vörös, they did open-up shows for the band.
