Trying to capitalize on the support as efficiently as possible, Zagar played a mini tour including Berlin, Moscow and St. Petersburg. In the capital of Germany they played a club gig, followed up by a set at the Hungarian Cultural Institute. The next morning they were already heading for Moscow, where the biggest traffic jam of their lives waited for them on the way to the venue. For the last meters they had to get out of the cab and go on foot, but they made it in time and the audience loved their set.
Moscow also showed a different face at the 24-7 shop after the gig: ?I paid around 50 Euros for a couple of strawberries and bread," laughs Balazs ?fortunately the show was amazing and we didn't miss the concert, so we just didn't care about the high prices."
On their second day in Russia they flew to St. Petersburg, where they played at a cool festival. ?It was raining, so we had to choose between playing outside at the original gig time, or a bit later inside," Balazs told us. ?We took a chance and played outside. The rain was gone when we started to play. It was around 10.30 PM and even the sun came out. The people loved our set, they were screaming Wings Of Love throughout the show. We had so much fun there! We gave some TV interviews, there were more then 800 people at our concert, so it was worth to go there."
Keep an eye on this great band, they will definitely surprise you with a great single in the future and they might show up at a venue near you.

Have you heard Wings Of Love, the biggest Hungarian alternative club hit of 2007? The Russians already have and found it great (such a big audience cannot be wrong), so you should check it out as well. Zagar, this amazing electro-pop-indie band is just back from the road. They played in Germany and Russia with the support of PANKKK - Hungarian Music Export.
