Galaxies album launch concert

This weekend, the Galaxies will be holding an album launch concert in the Great Hall of the Dürer. The band will be preceded by another popular band, Platon Karataev, so you can enjoy two incredible concerts this evening! Don’t miss one of the biggest parties of the weekend!

Hotels or apartment blocks are built where the benches were for the first kisses, the wind blows us from West to East, and we dream of beauty in vain, but keep running into concrete walls. In the Headwinds is a true protest record, the most public-inspired and political release in the history of Galaxies, often angry and passionate, sometimes desperate. Instead of dreams and nostalgia, it is now about the present, through the eyes of a generation that often watches helplessly as their common ship is steered in unacceptable directions by unacceptable characters. Led by Benedek Szabó, Galaxisok is one of the most curious of the Hungarian bands with the most circuitous careers. Polbeates solo albums turned into jangly indie, then experimental piano ballads, followed by a world tour double album (Stories from the Lives of Others) with South American and African influences, then a synth post-punk album (Don’t Love Us!) reminiscent of the cassette underground of the 1980s. With all the variables, one thing has remained intact: the unforgettable mood of the instantly recognisable lyrics. Galaxies will release a new album in 2024, their eighth album entitled In the Headwinds.

Last January, Platon Karataev released their third album, Crying for the Coast, in which the band dives further into their songs, seeking to explore the core of existence: wandering in altered states of consciousness, encountering the limitless, and confronting both ourselves and passing. Since then, the songs have sometimes been performed as a duo, and on this evening they will also play songs from the new album, as well as previous compositions, and also a glimpse of the fourth album in the making.
