Európa Kiadó was formed in 1981 from URH, one of the key, short-lived groups of the Hungarian New Wave underground. Like URH, Európa Kiadó has always centred around the guitarist, singer and director Jenő Menyhárt. The band soon went on to become one of the biggest groups of the 1980s and early 1990s with the help of their legendary demo recordings, studio albums and concert and film score cassettes. Not to mention their consistently brilliant live performances. After some short and longer-term breaks, the band once again began playing concerts on a regular basis and releasing new records in the 2010s. Their latest next album is currently in production. Instead of living on their own myth, Kiadó, who have remained active and consistently reinvented themselves across every period of the last 40 years, have always sought out new, valid modes of expression. On this evening, they will be supported in this endeavour by their special guest and founder bass guitarist (EK member until 2013) Llászló Kiss, who recently released a solo album of his own.
