Best of Budapest & Hungary

Los Angeles-based Sextile have always gone in a direction they felt was their own, defying convention. Operating with post-punk and new wave influences, the band has recently been making exciting turns into electronica. They've turned up the BPM on their latest album, Push, and promise to do the same for their forthcoming album in May, which will be presented in Budapest on the 17th of June at Dürer Kert.

    Some bands find their groove and stick to it while others choose to reinvent themselves and keep on moving. Sextile can attest to the thrill of an ever-changing road map. The LA duo comprising Melissa Scaduto and Brady Keehn ply their trade with a lust for life and a love of everything from no wave to hardstyle, having merged some of these influences on their striking 2023 debut for Sacred Bones, 'Push'.

    The group’s new LP, 'yes, please.’, set to release May 2nd, fuses anarchic electro fire with raw personal recollections —and enough beefed-up bass to bust a speaker or two. It is an album of contrasts: a vulnerable record that bares its soul as much as it revels in excess, showing just how far you can push your sound when you shake off your inhibitions. Together, the pair betray a confidence that never wavers, making a bold splash. 'yes, please.' is an action-packed dance record stuffed with wild, heady roof-raisers but is in the same breath a testament to living, and never looking back.

    Tickets for the concert go on sale at 11am on 21 February.
