The Erik Sumo Band is a seven-piece combo that consists of two female singers, a percussionist, a drummer, bass and guitar players, and band leader Ambrus Tövisházi on keyboards. The two ladies in the outfit are totally opposite characters – the chillingly charming, and soulful voice of Veronika Harcsa is accompanied by well known Hungarian chanteuse, Erzsi Kiss. Erzsi is famous for both her extraordinary way of singing in an unknown language, and also her outstanding stage performances, which have included many theatre and contemporary ballet plays. The guitarist is Ádám Mészáros, the bass player is Gergely Drapos; the dynamic drummer is Zoltan Farkas, and his accomplice on percussion is István Pápai.
“Instrumentally, we are presented with a heady mix of sleepy jazz, whiskey fuelled effects and lazy guitars. Then there is the impassioned eastern percussion and the deep throbbing grooves, which lends the album to a rich traditional-futuristic sound. With its country swagger and cinematic instrumentation, ‘My Rocky Mountain’ comes highly recommended. It is a genuinely inspiring album that will surprise, excite and challenge you.” (www.inthemix.com.au)
