Quimby had been compared to Tom Waits and Nick Cave, but nothing can really describe their music. The band plays a pulse-pumping music completed with the lead singer’s ,Tibor Kiss’s meaningful and richly visualized lyrics. When you listen to them, you cansee paintings that come from the most hidden part of your mind. Virtually, you could paint the songs. Though their concerts are electrifying bursts of energy, they do it with ease and swagger, involving the crowd all along. Tibor Kiss has an unmistakable, emotional and sexy voice, he can lead you to your deepest emotions, only so that from there Livius Varga (co-writer, singer, percussion) can elevate you to ecstasy with his charismatic and explosive energy and rebellious songs. Unafraid of exploring new horizons, the band ignores the strict confines of popular music and explores new territories, where music tends to border analogous art forms. Don’t hesitate, just let the music speak for itself and you will be swept off your feet!

In over 26 years, Quimby has released 13 albums, two of which won the Hungarian Album of the Year Award. They also have numerous gold and platinum records. These releases are like fraternal twins: their parents are the same, but they bear only partial resemblance. From one album to the next we can feel different flavors, scents, forces and vectors—but the spirit and the energy are very much the same. While you won’t find them anywhere else but on the Mainstage in every festival even on the world-famous Sziget Festival, they also maintain a steady presence within the club and theatre scene. As one journalist put it: ’most people simply find its music and lyrics incredibly moving, and hard to resist.’ In 2016 they celebrated their 25th anniversary with a grandious show in Budapest Sport Arena, with dancers and spectacular visuals: they created their own wonderland. Besides the celebration, they released their newest album called „Jónás Jelenései” (Revelations of Jonas) on the same they of the concert, which proves their unfailing inspiration.

They have risen to legendary status in recent years and they seem unstoppable even on the international scene. Especially now that they are about to start their 4th European tour, while they will play in the legendary Melkweg Amsterdam, on 15th of March.
