The history of Gesarol-P. Mobil

1969-2015.
If somebody spends more than forty five years under the sign of rock and roll, it’s time to make an account. Let’s see!

1969.
On the 20th of august in the Youth Park of Lőrinci, the Haus Byrds played a double show. At the beginning of the second part, the front man of the band made an important statement: “Ladies and gentleman please welcome on the stage: The Gesarol.” It was the official name-giving ceremony of the band.

1970.
Until the beginning of summer the line up: Gábor Szakács, László Szakács, József Sándor, Ágoston Pótz Nagy, Lóránt Schuster was act more or less calmly, than the singer Gábor Szakács got the sack. At the same time the “musicians of the insectmortal” –as they called themselves- took into the band a talented guitarist, Sándor Cziránku. From the autumn, a new front singer, Gyula Vikidál and a vocalist, Györgyi Huszár joined to the group.

1971.
In April, with reference to better financial opportunities -the brilliant singer- Vikidál states that he leave the group, and go on with gig-bands, in Miskolc and Szolnok. Sándor Tóth arrived to the front, who got the honourable nickname “Varnya”. He was a shell-proof singer.

1972.
The Gesarol apply for the famous talent show called “Ki-Mit-Tud?” (Who-What-Knows?). In the category of beat-bands they got the “upscale” second place behind the Universal.

There were some other member trucks in this year, namely: behind the drums László Szakács went and András Póta came, on the bass József Sándor went and László Losó arrived who was a talented singer as well.

1973.
Lóránt Schuster put an advertisement in the Esti Hírlap (Evening Print), after the name Gesarol was censored by the National Organizer Office. The advertisement let knew that Gesarol after the 1st of May work on and they continue their career under a new name: P. Mobil (Perpetuum Mobile).

After Sándor Cziránku played a whole show back on the public, he had to gone, and Sándor Bencsik joined. On the 10th of June, already as P. Mobil was their first appearance, on the first Pop Festival ever in Hungary, in Diósgyőr.

1974.
The bass guitarist László Losó leave and László Kékesi came, who got the nick “Bajnok” (Champ). The drummer changed as well, Zoltán Pálmai took András Póta’s seat. In the person of Gábor Lengyel a new guitarist arrived beside Bencsik. With this act took shape the first two-guitar line-up of the band. Lengyel wasn’t only the second guitarist, because he was an expert of violin and piano as well. This two-guitar line-up broke off until Bencsik spend his army days.

1975.
Bencsik demobilized after some month and immediately returned to P. Mobil. They wrote their first concept programme, the Fortunate of the street-organist. The man of idea Schuster create a new genre for this opus, it was the “rock-operetta”. The cultural leadership couldn’t understand the story that tells a relationship of a street-organist and a suburban band. In the end they didn’t get any opportunities to record this opus.

1976.
In the beginning of spring Vikidál and Lengyel was kicked out and Gábor Szegváry came from the band Wastaps. Szegváry was quite a character; nevertheless it was a short period, because he couldn’t fulfil the band’s hope. After this half year P. Mobil took back Vikidál, which were the third and the last case.

1977.
They played first time in the great Soviet Union, in a forty days tour. One more first experience in this year: a tour in Transylvania.

For more complete sound P. Mobil need an organist, so they took István Cserháti and this formation become later the “legendary line-up”. In the summer they started to work on their greatest piece of music. It was the Conquest suite in five movements.

1978.
Pálmai got his call-up paper from the army, so the band was forced to get somebody on the empty post. They found István Mareczky (nicknames: Totó, Zsír /Fat/) who played previously in the band of Theatre Operetta.

Finally the first official record of P. Mobil, in the shape of an SP released: Kétforintos dal/Menj tovább (Tuppence song/Go on).

Between the 13th and the 27th of June P. Mobil had a tour in Holland, without Vikidál and any lead vocalist. Bajnok, the bassist solved this “small” problem very well and sang the whole programme.

On the 17th of July the new singer Péter Tunyogi introduced to the public in Szekszárd. The beginning became difficult, because Schuster was prohibit from the stage at that time, so he announced only from the sides.

The band recorded four songs on the 19th of March, in the studio of the National Radio: Forma 1, Utolsó cigaretta, Örökmozgó, Csillag leszel (Formula 1, One more drag, Perpetual motion, You’ll be a star).

On the 23rd of August there was the legendary Black Sheep Festival in Óbuda, on the Hajógyári sziget (Ship Work Island). The Beatrice, the Hobo Blues Band and the P. Mobil, so three black sheep bands played in one night. They got the special “black sheep status”, because the regime find them undesirable, nevertheless or that’s exactly why they were packing the crowd in.
