Best of Budapest & Hungary

Sharp one-liners, furious lyrics and a mysterious beef with cowboys: Scottish rave-rock duo Cowboy Hunters are endlessly entertaining and high-energy, like your funniest mates from the pub - except they can actually play their instruments. Their shows are more like wild house parties, and we have an invitation to their Budapest date on April 8 at Turbina.

   Cowboy Hunters is the duo of Megan Pollock and Desmond Johnston. The Scottish pair met at university in Edinburgh and previously played together in a band called Choka. After their guitarist left, they formed Cowboy Hunters, where they constantly swap instruments, so even though there are only two of them on stage, there is never a still moment.

    Their songs are packed with raw punk energy, while their lyrics are sharp, furious and seriously entertaining - just like their introduction: “69 years have passed since the cowboys attacked. When the world needed them most, Cowboy Hunters were in the pub. This is a story of Farty Rock redemption.”

    It is clear that Cowboy Hunters do not take themselves too seriously, and that laid-back attitude is exactly what makes them so appealing. If you are craving a properly loud, high-energy punk show, Cowboy Hunters’ first Budapest concert promises to be an unmissable night.
