The Skinny Bohemians

About Me

************************************************************ **The Skinny Bohemians was formed in 1990 and is based in London, U.K. and Budapest, Hungary. The original members were Zed and Adrian Portas with whom "Angel Of Spring", "Chrom" and "Ashes of Eden" was written. The third "Skinny" was Dominic "Kid Deluxe" Hawken who produced the first studio sessions as well as studio work in Budapest. The "Six Beers Sessions". The Skinny Bohemians could not have happened without them. Thank you Ado and Kid.The band has toured in Europe several times. The countries included are: Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Holland, Hungary and the U.K.The Skinny Bohemians have played every year at Europe's largest festival situated on an island in the middle of the Danube in Budapest. The festival called "Sziget" attracts over 350 000 people, over seven days, every summer.The Skinny's have played there every year since it's inception in 1993.The Skinny Bohemians reached No.3 on the official MAHASZ chart with their first release, the "Hey Don't Let Me Down E.P."In 1997, they unanimously won the prestigious Jury Prize at the annual Camden Mix awards in London with "Angel Of Spring".The whole idea behind The Skinny Bohemians is a mix of a return to the ideals of the Renaissance and the complexity of Andy Warhol's factory. We are a mix of music, science and mythology. We enjoy taking control of all aspects of what The Skinny Bohemians represent, from building our own web pages to designing our own album covers to tackling the mysteries of gravitation and exploring all the diverse forms of philosophy and theology.And of course selling records…************************************************** **************** The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side...HUNTER S. THOMPSON
