KiSTeHéN -- Dr DooAlot
The punk intellectual who talks to the animals
Farmyard punk singer Lazlo, and his band Kistehén is a 100% European original -- from his base at his own zoo outside Budapest, he has grafted a career as one of Europe's most successful rock singers with a wicked style in biting, anthemic lyrics.
There is a good reason why most big European singers don't export well to the UK: we Brits don't do foreign languages, and when they try to version their songs in English to please us, it never adds up -- sounding more like a dodgy voiceover on cable TV than a serious artist with something to say.
And Lazlo clearly has something to say: "Venus" tackles homophobia in a startlingly fresh way; "I'm The Man" throws you into the heaviest of binges with the drinking partner from hell; "A Rabbit Not A Man" is a song of pure animal lust; "I Will Eat" is as cutting a criticism of consumer culture as you could hope to hear.
