About Me


My World Visitor Map!
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- RAG DOLL was originally founded by three guys (Péter Kõváry, Zoltán Kõváry and Tibor Simon) in 1990. After a short break between 1995-96 and bass guitarist change the band was reformed in 1996. Their music was based on rock-n-roll- and blues-based retro-rock, which was first and foremost inspired by classics (Beatles, Rolling Stones) and bands of the 1990's, especially of brit-pop (Stone Roses, Oasis, Primal Scream) and American bands (Black Crowes). Their approach to music was traditional song-writing feat. modern instrumentation. Rag doll existed effectively for 5 years. During that time they performed twice at the Hungarian Sziget Festival. In 1998 and 2000 the band was invited to an international music festival (FIMU) to Belfort, France, toured in Hungary and the surrounding countries. Rag doll worked in studio for four times: in 1996 they recorded five songs entitled Superman lover. The album Sonic Infusion appeared in 1998. At the begining of 1999 the band recorded the single Free my way, which included 3 tracks - 2 songs in several versions. The most mature work of Rag doll is their last EP Universal Feeling, which was released in 2000. An amazing video for the song Grace, created by the band's drummer, Tibor Simon, hit the music channels as well. Another song of the EP I feel Sanctified came out as an intro track on the compilation album called Rise Up released by the british Matchbox Recording in 2001. Beginning of 2002, the band unfortunatelly finished its effective work. Officially, Rag doll has never split up: the three founder members are still in frequent contact - the Kõváry brothers often perform together. Zoltán Kõváry plays guitar in Amber Smith and is singer in The Trousers. Recently Neo is Péter Köváry's main 'occupation': he sings, plays guitar, writes music and lyrics, plus produces music as well. Additionally, he is lead singer of The Rolling Stones cover-band, The Stoned.- Tibor Simon plays the drums in a joy division tribute band called Ezeknäk. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------- rag doll - Grace
