It was february, 1989, when three young musician from Debrecen, Hungary met in Amsterdam and after a short while they decided to form a band, called Ölveti Blues Band. (after the singer's family name) In the beginning they entertrained the town's residents and tourists on the street, making their living this way. After a few weeks the owners of the surrounded bars and clubs took notice of the band and from that time they played their music on real stages. Through the connections of these people the trio made dozen of gigs from Paris to Berlin and in the spring of 1990, the political changes made it possible for the them to get back home to Hungary. Since the trio felt that the songs - they wrote on the road - needed a more complex sounding, a drummer and a bass player joined the band. Beside the hungarian versions of the originally english written songs, they played number of cover tracks. (Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Stones, Doors, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blood, Sweat&Tears, Canned Heat...) Soon the band attracted the attention of festival managers so in the next years the band played each and every festival took place in Hungary.
Touring the country the band reached that certain level where they could make their first album - Step in the waterhole - of wich title song became Hungary's biggest blues hit. Then touring again across the country with the same succes, altough in the end of the '90 Hungary's Blues Boom was gone. The band didn't give up and released their second album - Good morning blues - of wich songs are constantly played on the radios across the whole country.
