Kispál és a Borz

Drummer Kis Attila began working with the band at this point, and in the next couple of years the group took on a keyboardist (Dióssy Ákos) and two guitarists (Leskovics Gábor and Vittay Ferenc -- the latter originally a member of the band's crew). Eventually, even drummer Bräutigam Gábor would leave in 1996, and was replaced with Tóth Zoltán. Once the band had established its new lineup, Kispál és a Borz scored a hit single, "Kicsit Szomorkás," and -- in 1997 -- released the first in a string of more and more experimental albums. By 2000 Ferenc had returned to his place in the band's crew, and in 2002 Kispál és a Borz welcomed their first foreign member, with American drummer Michael Zwecker taking over for the departing Zoltán. With a new, harder-edged sound, Kispál és a Borz released the 2003 full-length Turisták Bárhol and the 2004 platter Én, Szeretlek, Téged (I, Love, You), the latter recording -- the final collection of original material from the band -- becoming a hit. In 2006 the original core trio of Kispál és a Borz made a bit of a live comeback, touring and recording, and in 2008 released a Top Ten greatest-hits album (20 Év) and embarked on a 20th anniversary tour of Hungary with various members from the band's historically fluid lineup. ~ Chris True, Rovi
