AKA BOXHEAD AND SPACEMAN
CAN A CURSE BECOME A BLESSING?
Schooldays, huh? Best years of your life? LIKE FUCK! An endless nightmare of ridicule, mental torment and despair. But when you are going through hell the best thing you can do is to keep going. So here we are. Decades later. Drawing upon those dark days to bring life into creations such as FRANKENSTEIN FOR LIFE.
Every month since January, HEYBUDAPEST! have released a new single. This will continue throughout the year until December when the album SINGLE CHROMOSOME will hit the Christmas market featuring all twelve tracks [along with a shitload of remixes and re-remixes]. This month's version of FRANKENSTEIN FOR LIFE is far from being the definitive offering. But from acorns, mighty oaks grow.

BAY CITY ROLLER
FROM MICHIGAN TO MANCHESTER
The QUEEN OF POP has always been around lurking in the shady undergrowth of HEYBUDAPEST! development. From witnessing that first UK apperance at the legendary HAÇIENDA in the chaotic pre-Gunchester days through all the obsessive re-inventions, Madge has known how to hold an audience. The highlights have been very high. But Maradonna Louise Ciccone's appearance in DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN certainly scores way up in the achievement tree. Plus, my sister loves that movie.
So we just HAD to respect the food chain, baby and produce a remix celebtrating her crazy journey from Bay City, Michigan.

KEYS TO THE DOOR
NEVER BEEN TWENTY-ONE BEFORE
So HEYBUDAPEST! dropped BOXING JELLYFISH on all streaming services today, a three-track EP influenced by the stranger aspects of the awe-inspiring waters all around this island of ours. Please check it out but NOT IF YOU ARE OF A NERVOUS DISPOSITION. It's very fucking sweary. That aside, the release is significant to us in a number of ways. We are of sea-faring stock. And you can't beat a cracking Fish Supper. But it also incorporates the TWENTY-FIRST track that HEYBUDAPEST! have cranked out since Halloween 2025.
Pretty awesome strike-rate, huh? Never mind the quality, feel the width.

MILLENIUM FULCRUM
OVER THE TIPPING POINT
You can't fight City Hall. The House always wins. Never fight a land-war in South East Asia. And never think you can take on Spotify. You will lose. They are mighty and unequivocable. They may crush your spirit with all the Beyoncé and Coldplay vacuous shite they shamelessly peddle. But they are the Daddy. So you do what you do within their crappy universe to promote your wares. FRENCH GIRLS IN ITALIAN CARS just passed the one-thousand stream threshold. An important moment for HEYBUDAPEST! It means Spotify now has to pay us. The princely sum of approximately £3.00 per 1,000 streams.
WOO-FUCKING-HOO!
Being Adaptive Communists, we don't care about money. Until we do. But it makes us feel like we are in the game. Destroying it from the inside.
Thanks to EVERYONE that streamed this song about the colossal insanity of BrexIt put in a European Thelma and Louise wrapper.

FELIX CINCO DE MAYO
SOUTH OF THE BORDER OR HEADING INTO ORBIT?
This 5th of May, choose the way you would like to celebrate how General Ignacio Zaragoza led the Mexican Army to victory over their superior French adversaries. TIJUANA BRASSNECKING first appeared on the HECHO EN MÉXICO - MIX PARA BAILAR EP last New Year's Eve as an instrumental dance mix. The beats are still there but lyrics regarding separation from a sibling have been added. The track will see at least two more future iterations as the perfect blend is strived for.
After that, dive into the short story CINCO DE MAYO IN ORBIT for a fast-paced blast into outer space as a Mexican hero seeks to repel alien invaders. It features what HEYBUDAPEST! consider to be the greatest opening line in modern literature. We may be slightly biased, of course.
"Francisco opened the visor on his space sombrero."

SPARTANS BATTLING VIKINGS
SLUGGIN' IT OUT WITH THE SWEDISH WARMONGER
The single FRENCH GIRLS IN ITALIAN CARS just paased 300 streams on SPOTIFY but the track still has a long way to go until actually earns any royalties. One thousand 30-second minimum duration streams are required in any twelve month period to earn just £0.003 per play. So that amounts to a paltry £3.00 when our most popular track breaks the millennium barrier.
HEYBUDAPEST! are a non-profit making organisation [obviously] are so we have no interest in financial reward [currently]. But it's the fucking principle!

POYEKHALI! - "LET'S GO!"
SINGING PATRIOTIC SONGS
On this day in 1961, the 5 foot 2 inches tall son of a farmer became the first human to leave behind the third rock from the sun that we all inhabit. HEYBUDAPEST! love rockets. And Cold War nostalgia. And Yuri Gagarin. Hence, 108 MINUTES... a euphoric, driving celebration of this monumentous achievement. This fourth instalment in the SINGLE CHROMOSOME one-single-per-month project is available now on all streaming services. Oh, and Yuri definitely was not vodka-drunk the entire time but he did sing songs of the glorious revolution whilst circling the earth.

THE LIFE ACQUATIC
IF FISH IS GOOD FOR THE BRAIN, ARE FISH FINGERS GOOD FOR MENTAL DEXTERITY?
Sea monsters. Nuclear submarines. Lighthouses. The Flying Dutchman. Surfboards. Desert islands. Basically, anything to do with the sea is über-cool. Especially when you throw in enough weird to fill an oil tanker. Then aim the oil tanker at a derelict peer hosting an illegal rave. Ingredients such as these are the lifeblood of BOXING JELLYFISH, the third EP from HEYBUDAPEST! that will finally drop on 14.05.2026 in digital and physical formats.
The four previously unreleased, unperformed tracks are OF OCEANS AND SEAS, SHE'S A F*CKING MERMAID, SLEEP WITH THE FISHES and DOCTORED OCTOPUS.

SPILLING THE BEANS
ARE YOU THIRSTY FOR MORE?
This website attempts to tell you everything it legally can about HEYBUDAPEST! but maybe you want your shizzle served a different way. No problem!
Bite-sized in nature, this ELECTRONIC PRESS KIT [EPK] bundles up all the information we think might be pertinent if, for example, you wanted to book the guys for a residency on the Las Vegas Strip. Or maybe planning a Netflix-style documentary expose of all the behind-the scenes shenanigans. Fine by us.

TRIPLE CHROMOSOME
APPLE PLUS TREE PLUS GRAVITY
March is upon us and that means the third release in the SINGLE CHROMOSOME project is due. When HEYBUDAPEST! first performed live back in February 2025, the opening track was APPLE PLUS TREE PLUS GRAVITY, a song that deals with the downside of patrilineal traits. It retains its heavy central theme, both lyrically and musically but the track has been thoroughly disassembled and rebuild with a shitload of new ideas and aspects.
It will be released on Sunday 15 March 2026 on all streaming services.

MIXED UP DOUBLE TROUBLE
SOMETHING FOR THE UNDECIDED
Joyfully schizophrenic, HEYBUDAPEST! have served up two new renditions of KNIEVEL WITH A SHOTGUN, a track that reached Number 6 in the HILLZFM local Artists Christmas chart. The KASSITERENO mix replicates the new LIVE performance version of the song first used at THE TIN MUSIC & ARTS recently whilst THE DUKE OF EXETER'S DAUGHTER mix features an extended interpretation intended for the discerning dancefloor.
