About Me


Brains was founded in 1994. After some changes in the group, the final 5-membered combinations have been formed four years ago when Brains signed the young and talented András Kéri aka. “MC Columbo” (Irie Maffia, GimmeShot Crew) as a new MC and forefront player. In the dynamic music of the band several styles can be found such as Drum & Bass, Ragga, Dancehall, Dub, and also some Rock elements. The lyrics are written in English/Jamaican (Patois) Patwa. The guys are above 600 live performances. They are regularly invited to all part of Europe (from UK, France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, to Czech Republic etc..). The most remarkable festival gigs were at: Sziget Festival, Pohoda Festival, Parkpop, Karneval der Kulturen, BNR Festival, Open Air St. Gallen and Bospop Festival beside many others. Brains played on the same stage with bands around the world like Asian Dub Foundation, Freestylers, Roni Size, EZ Rollers, Dreadzone. Many Brains songs are remixed all over in Europe by underground dj’s like SKC, Dilinja, Dj Dara, Dj Palotai, Dj Psure, Dj Reza, and by many others djs. Three officinal sound materials have come out so far in Hungary in 97’ and in 98’, which were published by Crossroads Records Hungary. The band published two other promotion materials in the year 2001 and in 2002. Independently Brains published they third album “HUMANUAL” in September 2006. The material contains 17 track including several guest mc and offer a brand new sound with an extremely miscellaneous and versatile musical experience from the drum & bass, ragga, dancehall, breakbeat to the rock). The album is available at main music stores in Hungary and in Austria moreover through the official website of the band and on live shows. The co-producer of the HuManual album was the talented and Europe-wide known Gábor Deutsch aka. "Anorganik".
