Carbonfools

The Carbonfools Story

In 2000 DJ Titusz, a well-known Hungarian DJ and icon, and Tóth Szabolcs, sitar player, created Carbonfools. They were then joined by Zsüli (percussion) Zsazsa (bass) Kelo (drums) and Dado (guitar). Between 2000 and 2004 they played at several festivals and parties, culminating with the release of their first album Poisoned Gulash. This album is a fusion of rock, blues, reggae, dub, disco, folk, ethno and darkwave. The album was made without Szabolcs, who went to India to perfect his sitar skills. In addition to their own projects, the band made many remixes for other acclaimed Hungarian underground bands. The English Mint Soure record label published three singles, which were very much welcomed by many English DJs.

Fehér Balázs joined the band at the summer of 2006, by whom a new – second album titled Carbon Heart had been made at the time of October 2008. The album won a large audience, so much, so that almost anywhere can not be obtained.

The Carbonfools presented their new guitarist in February 2009: István Fekete -Steve-, and a new bass player in Februar2011: Milan Miklos

Members now: Dj Titusz, Kelo, Steve, Balazs Feher, Milan

The Radio stations play the songs in priority rotation, moreover one or two songs appeare in the programme nowdays. Four video clips had been made from the album so far (in order: Furilla (2008), The Line (2009), But She (2009), Cash (2010) which reap a big succes not only in music channels, but also on the internet. (The Line – 109.000 download, Furilla – 95.000 download.

The band had became a more and more famous concertband in the past few years. They are retuning guests of several clubs in Budapest (Gödör, Dürer kert, Zöld Pardon, Morrison’s 2) where the large number of audience are danced by them.

In the past two years more and more rural towns had been turned by the band, with much succes. Everytime giving a concert in Miskolc, Szeged, Debrecen, Veszprém, or Dorog, was a memorable moment.

Either the festival audience didn’t have to miss The Carbonfools. Since they had formed, no Sziget Fesztivál had been organised without them, moreover in the recent 3 years neither the audince of Balaton Sound nor the other summer events could escape from The Carbonfools.

Last year they got a big honor, had been asked to remake two Demjen Ferens songs within MTV ICON- was one of the most unforgetable concerts of the summer in Siófok, there was incredible crowd, since that songs are still being in program.

This year they had a request to MR2 Acoustic too, so fans will have the opportinity to listen their repertoire via a new approach in April.

One of the world’s most famous electro group the Dreadzone will wisit Budapest in May, and a common concert will be held, but not only in Hungary. They have been invited by the british colleagues for a concert abroad in September.

The last two years passed by holding concerts and trying to expand on the internet. The official website has more than 600 registered users, meanwhile facebook group is reaching the 2000 members, and not to mention the four pages of Youtube videos.

2010 december saw the release of their newest album Carbonsoul.
