SOLARIS – worldwide well-known progressive rock group from Hungary
The Solaris was founded in Febuary, 1980 in Budapest by university students and they loved the progressive rock music and the science fiction.
The founder members of the Solaris are: Erdész Róbert - keyboards, Cziglán István - guitar, Kollár Attila - flute, Seres Attila - bass, Tóth Vilmos - drums).
At the beginning of 1980 on an amateur pop-rock competition the SOLARIS gained the third place (among 137 different style amateur pop-rock groups). This success was a real „starting” for the Solaris because the song „Solaris” was published on SP after the final competition.
The group had a lot of rehearsals and concerts at the Semmelweis University and in different University Club (1980-1984) and they tried to create their own musical language.
The first LP of the Solaris – ’Martian Chronicles’ released in 1984. The King Record from Japan published this LP on CD in 1989 and distributed all over the world. And something started slowly at that time……..
The ’Martian Chronicles’ considered one of the best progressive rock albums in the era between 1980-1995 by the progressive rock magazines and prog-rock reviewers.
The second double LP released in 1990 by Hungaroton Gong Records.
In 1995 the band was invited for the ProgFest ’95 in Los Angeles. This is a three-day festival and on the second day the Solaris was the headliner band. The success of this concert was really fantastic and it was published on a double CD ’Live in Los Angeles’.
After the success of this concert the Solaris had several invitations for progressive musical festivals:
Rio de Janeiro – 1996
Bethlehem PA – 1999 The First North East Art Rock Festival (NEARFEST)
Mexicali – Baja Prog, Mexico City 2001,
Monterrey – 2004.
In 1999 the band published a completely new studio album – Nostradamus, Book of Prophecies.
The first DVD from the concert of Monterrey (MEXICO) will appear in 2006.
The present line-up of the SOLARIS: Erdész Róbert - keyboards, Bogdán Csaba - guitar, Kollár Attila - flute, Pócs Tamás - bass, Gömör László – drums, Kisszabó Gábor - bass).
In 2005 the Solaris members have the 25th anniversary and they would like to celebrate with their fans (from Hungary and from abroad, too!) on a great concert in Budapest on 23rd of April, 2006.
