C.A.F.B. is a Hungarian alternative rock band from Budapest originally formed in 1990 with Gabor Szakacsi and Mihaly Szita. The group has been through several line-up changes since its start but officially never broke up and released seven full-length albums in its more than 20-year career. The last remaining original member, Gabor Szakacsi, left the group in 1999. Today C.A.F.B. is led by Suto, who was the bass player from 1996 to 1999 when he changed to guitar and tried to re-establish the sound. ==Early years (1990–1994)== C.A.F.B. formed in 1990 and started playing live shows in early 1991. Immanuel Olah joined the band late 1991, replacing the first drummer. He wrote and sang about forty percent of the songs performed by the band from 1991 to 1994. With the help of Benedek Fliegauf C.A.F.B. has been booked in the legendary alternative rock club "Black Hole" the first time ever in the summer of 1991 which helped the group move forward and get noticed in the Budapest punk scene. From 1991 C.A.F.B. regularly performed at the famous club with some of the most important Hungarian hardcore and punk rock bands of the era, like A.M.D., Leukemia and Tankcsapda. They recorded their first album ''Utcastilus'' ("Street style") in 1992 but it did not release until 1998, (''when the "Hungarian Metal Hammer" magazine owned label, "Hammer music" issued the material for the first time ever'') in limited edition. Later in 1993 the Hungarian underground label Trottel records signed the group and released the full length album, ''Ne bizz senkiben'' ("Don't trust anybody") which featured the song "B.R.F.K." (Budapest Police dept.). The song almost instantly became a crowd favorite because of its anti-establishment lyrics. Szita and Olah left the band in 1994 when Szakacsi was serving his one-year army service. *Mihaly Szita (1974–2001), the first bass player and founding member of C.A.F.B., died in 2001. *Immanuel Olah – After leaving C.A.F.B. in 1994 Olah joined the band Balaton. *Gabor Szakacsi – a member from 1990 to 1999 playing shows and recording with the band. From 2000 to 2004 he recorded his final 2 albums and started his new band Sledgeback in the USA. He appeared on stage with C.A.F.B. in September 2009 when he was visiting his hometown Budapest. *Benedek Fliegauf helped the band in the early days as "manager" and booked some of C.A.F.B.'s most important live performances in the 1991-1992 period. He was a classmate of Mihaly Szita and the first drummer Tamas Hermecz. In 1998 he interviewed Gabor Szakacsi about the band. It has been released in the weekly Hungarian program magazine "Pesti Musor". This interview was titled "Kispunk" ("Little punk") and Fliegauf used the name "Petervari Benedek".〔(Original copy of the interview from 1998. )〕 He is an award winning movie director today. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「C.A.F.B.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
