Ivan & The Parazol, Budapest Park, 6 August
Selling out high profile venues, having a Main Stage slot at Sziget Festival 2014 foreshadows a rising of a new beat generation. Ivan & The Parazol, the five piece rock and roll band’s career started in 2010, when they met at a private music school in Budapest. Their groovy rock tunes quickly gained a very engaged and rife audience.

Two years after their founding the band’s 1st LP - Mama Don’t You Recognize, Ivan & The Parazol? – already resulted the band a sold out album release show at one of the popular Budapest venues, Iskola Club. The band successfully applied to play at the prestigious SXSW Festival in the USA in 2013 and the successful debut at the festival got them a slot at CBGB Festival in New York City, a number of shows in London, UK, and an MTV EMA local prize for Best Hungarian Act 2013.

In 2014 they got invited to support Deep Purple at the Budapest stop of their arena tour. After the band’s opening show Roger Glover personally felicitated their performance. In the meantime the band’s hit song ‘Take My Hand’ which was a national hit being Nr 1 for weeks on the MR2 Petofi Radio - the Hungarian National Radio - became the official promo song of SXSW 2014.

So this time the band played at the legendary Palm Door in Austin, TX during SXSW. Their performance now caught not just the audience, but the attention of the press internationally and got them positive feedback for their live shows.

Ivan & The Prazol’s 2nd full length album was released in March 2014, titled Mode Bizarre. The album release show was a sold out performance at a venue known throughout Europe, A38 ship. Their second album got the band national recognition and flew them to the Main Stages of the biggest festivals in their area. They played the main stage at Sziget 2014 and delivered the festival’s anthem: ‘Together’ from their 2nd LP.
