San Francisco presents
the CD design and art direction of ZAGAR "cannot walk
fly instead" we slowly dissolve in the air those cannot walk may
fly instead music
by Z A G A R The result is heavy beats, atmospheric mood and sound clips from the psychedelic era of the late 60´s. Andor Kovács (guitar) and the leader of the band Balázs Zságer (rhodes, keys, programming) were the co-writers of the famous Yonderboi album, Shallow and Profound. Their debut album, the Local Broadcast (UCMG/Ugar 2002) was selected for the chart of the 50 all times most important Hungarian records by the music magazine WAN2. They made many soundtracks for short and feature films, the most important of them is Eastern Sugar (Fillcell/Universal 2004) that was the best soundtrack in 2005 in Hungary. ZAGAR has been performing live ever since their formation. Apart from Hungary they played in Great Britain, The Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Italy and many other European countries. Currently
they released their album CANNOT WALK FLY INSTAED. beside of that I began to play the piano for myself. At the age of 18 I started to play in a band, we played blues cover versions. After that I kept switching groups and mingling styles through blues, progressive rock and acid-jazz. First real success was the Garderobe project (12” vinyl, Future Sound of Budapest vol 3). Then I started to contribute on Yonderboi’s debut album Shallow and Profound which was distributed world wide and it won the Golden Giraffe prize in Hungary. As a member of the Yonderboi Quintet I have played on more than 160 concerts all around the continent. We formed another project with Yonderboi called Trevira Modern(10” vinyl maxi). Some tracks of this project were licensed by the BBC and the CHANNEL 4 Television. Presently I am the keyboard player of Yonderboi and the Kings of Oblivion on the Splendid Isolation tour. Since the beginning of 2001 I have been producing own tracks under the name Zagar . Together with guitarist Andor Kovács, scratchmaster DJ Bootsie and drummer Tibor Lázár and the featuring vocalist György LigetIi the Zagar has become a real headliner stage band in Hungary. Our debut album, the Local Broadcast was released in 2002 in Hungary (UGAR/UCMG) and in Austria (Universal Jazz) now it is distributed world wide by the Berlin based MConnexxion. This album was selected for the chart of the 50 all time’s most important Hungarian records by the music magazine WAN2. Presently we are working on our next studio album. I compose music also for feature and short films (Szezon.Eastern Sugar, Tower, Beautiful Wilds, Monuments, Live…), TV series (Miami, Las Vegas) and theatrical plays (Hungarian National Theater, Csiky Gergely Theatre, TÁP Theatre…) Besides I contribute many artist in the independent
music scene in Budapest (The Puzzle, Erik Sumo, Gábor Deutch,
dj Mango, Sena, Albert Márkos, Skeg).
