November 12-18.

Weekend recommendations, not intended to be a complete list.
If you know of any relevant concerts that were left out, let us know!

REMINDER:
Only events that have a Facebook event page and are visible on the band's own page are included in the concert roundup (with very few exceptions)!
I'd also like to remind all bands to create proper events for their concerts and make them visible on their pages. Simply sharing a post is not enough.

We are looking at the quietest weekend of the past few months. The festival season is long over, while the Christmas event calendar has not really started yet, leaving mostly smaller club shows and community events to choose from.
 
Interestingly, both CandyMen Duo and Pedrofon will be appearing at venues that have featured in recent recommendations. Pedrofon will play at Bisztró An Zsu in Tata on Friday, before returning to the stage of the New Orleans Club on Sunday, a venue that has appeared frequently in recent concert roundups.
 
The busiest act of the weekend will be CandyMen Duo with three performances. They start on Thursday at Oporto 2, continue on Friday at Mouseoleum in Vác, and finish on Saturday at a charity ball, also in Vác.
 
In Budapest, it may be worth paying attention to Blackwater's concert in Csepel and the Budapest Rock'n'Roll Band performance at Orfeum. The less frequently seen Brillantin will be appearing at the József Attila Community House.
 
The eternally neglected Borsod region is completely absent from this week's concert roundup.
 
No Hungarian acts are traveling abroad this weekend.
 
There are no films on television that would interest our readership.

Rock and Roll is a popular music genre that emerged in the United States during the 1950s. It combines elements of rhythm and blues, country, gospel, and jazz into an energetic and danceable style. The music is characterized by strong rhythms, electric guitars, and catchy melodies. Early pioneers such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley helped bring Rock and Roll to a worldwide audience. Its influence shaped many modern music genres and continues to inspire musicians today.

"Before Elvis there was nothing.” - John Lennon (Beatles)

Rockabilly is one of the earliest forms of Rock and Roll, developing in the United States in the early 1950s. It blends country music, particularly hillbilly music, with rhythm and blues influences. The style is known for its upbeat tempo, twangy guitars, and distinctive slap-back echo on vocals. Artists like Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis were major figures in the Rockabilly movement. Today, Rockabilly remains popular among fans who appreciate its vintage sound and unique fashion culture.

Blues is a music genre that originated within African American communities in the southern United States during the late 19th century. It is known for its emotional expression, often reflecting themes of hardship, love, and resilience. Blues music typically follows a twelve-bar chord progression and features expressive vocals and instrumental solos. Influential musicians such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Robert Johnson helped define the genre. The Blues became the foundation for many later music styles, including Rock and Roll, jazz, and soul.

Country is a genre of music that originated in the rural regions of the southern United States during the early 20th century. It combines folk traditions, storytelling lyrics, and simple yet memorable melodies. Common instruments include acoustic guitar, fiddle, banjo, and steel guitar. Country songs often focus on everyday life, family, love, and personal experiences. Artists such as Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and Willie Nelson helped make Country music one of the most popular genres in the world.

Beat music is a genre that developed in the United Kingdom during the late 1950s and early 1960s. It combines elements of Rock and Roll, rhythm and blues, and skiffle music. The style is characterized by strong backbeat rhythms, vocal harmonies, and guitar-driven arrangements. Bands such as The Beatles, The Searchers, and Gerry and the Pacemakers became leading representatives of the Beat movement. Beat music played a major role in the British Invasion and significantly influenced the development of modern pop and rock music.
