Omschrijving

The band was founded in 1971 (biographical dates even state, more precisely, the day 
and the place: April 6th, Budapest) having a core of four great musicians: Gabor Presser 
and Jozsef Laux from Omega, Karoly Frenreisz from Metro and Tamas Barta, a guitarist 
finally finding his way with this ensemble. The pressure of the music, at this beginning 
phase, was put on sophisticated expression, powerful rhythms and gullible orientations. 
Playing with familiar rock groups, selling out minimal music through different clubs plus 
some worthy festivals, was their first good steps up rock's slipstream.

Their debut was considered experimental and hazy in Hungary, but the Western side saw 
it as the best new music that could come from the East. In 1972, the band was invited to 
play along legendary Joe Cocker or, right from the progressive top scene, with Genesis. 
They also spend the year in London, recording a second album, "Ringasd el magad", or 
producing several music projects. With Tamas Somlo replacing Frenreisz, and with a 
wide-popular tour through North America, Locomotiv GT became a worthy big name.
High tours and important projects continued in the next years, music itself finding 
probably the best expressions and wild maturity of all the style and fusion that was, 
so intimately, used.
