THE BEGINNING

We began our musical carrier in 1995, when we founded the Toluol punk band in Tatabánya. The members were
    Hrivo Ferenc (Teke): vocal,
    Darabos Tamas (Bogyo): guitar,
    Mosolygo Zsolt (Mosi): basszus,
    Vecsei Zsolt (Fecsu): drums.
That year we had our first appearance in "Defeat Rockclub" in Solymar city.
After that we had a lots of concerts in: Tata, Visegrad, Esztergom, Komarom, Mosonmagyarovar. The Toluol band broke up because of inner reasons in 1998.
Although the Toluol broke up, we didn't give up. In 1999, as the old band's continuation, we formed Kateter, with the following members:
    Bogyo: guitar, vocal,
    Delbo Istvan: bass, vocal,
    Pinter Tamas (Pimpi): drums.
At the beginning Bogyo played the guitar only, but because of the fact that we didn't have a suitable singer, Bogyo began to sing too. At the end of 2001 Pimpi left the band. Then Ekk Lajos entered the band.
At the end of 2001 Pap Albert (guitar) entered the band.
At the end of 2006 Albert left the band.

CONCERTS

We had our first concert in Tatabanya in the "Puskin Civilization House". Then it followed a lot more concerts. We went to: Ajka, Csolnok, Csongrád, Dorog, Dunakeszi, Dunaujváros, Eger, Esztergom, Fehérto, Godolo, Gyor, Gyorszentivan, Hatvan, Janossomorja, Kal, Kaposvar, Komarom, Komlo, Lengyel, Mosonmagyarovar, Nagyvazsony, Oroszlany, Osku, Paks, Pecs, Salgotarjan, Szakszend, Szeged, Szegvar, Szekesfehervar, Szombathely, Szony, Tapolca, Tatabanya, Tata, Tiszafured and Budapest. Till now we had around 120 concerts in Hungary.
In the summer of 2004 we were invited by the Albert Fish band in Portugal. The Iszonyat band from Tapolca came with us. In Portugal we had 2 concerts, one in Cascai (Lisabon's suburbia) and the other one in Ferreira do Alentejo. Here you can read the rewiew about the Portugal trip.
