The Hungarian one:
This band was formed in 1980 in Hungary. It was one of the most important Hungarian underground bands. Members were Gábor Lukin, Marietta Méhes and János Vető.
This band has quite quickly become a cult-band. They made very low-key, very lo-fi music, which was meant to exist rather in a small room than on stage. Their music was quite experimental and free, somewhat clumsy and honest. The very unique, soft, yet cold voice of Marietta Méhes was also influential part of their sound. Though Marietta was the lead singer, on some concerts they used other singers, for example cult-hero Tamás Pajor (Neurotic), Mariann Urbán (Embersport), or Attila Grandpierre (ex-VHK, Vágtázó Csodaszarvas). Along with other important underground band Balaton, their company consisted of lot of talented young artists, like Mihály Víg, who worked with both bands, director Gábor Bódy, or Zoltán Gazsi.
In the early eighties Marietta Méhes started a quite successful acting career, appearing in such films, like Kutya éji dala (Gábor Bódy, 1983), or Eszkimó asszony fázik (János Xantus, 1984). These films had and have a small fan base and a lot of people who consider them as important parts of the underground culture of those years. Marietta Méhes mentioned in an interview that she hadn't considered those films as successful ones and herself as a cult star. Now, all members live abroad. They haven't had an album ever since. And they didn't want to have one either.
Later they agreeed to have two concerts (one concert, and one rehersal open for the public), on 18th and 20th January in 2011. Both attracted great audiences and some media attention
The Icelandic one:
Trabant's five members come from very different backgrounds in the Reykjavik music scene: One rap producer with the sailors blood pumping; a death metal guru, a crazy in the head champion DJ; a preachers son and the former boyband star. Together, all these influences explode in the mighty Trabant.
For the past nine years in various guises, Trabant have worked in each others pockets endlessly circulating the Reykjavik music scene.
Long periods of experimentation and isolation within smoke-filled rooms, with cheap vodka and computers equate to a perfectly formed eclectic battle-field sound.
Highly energetic live performances with their reputation proceeding them has lead to somewhat of an excitable following of this Icelandic 5 piece and things are just about to get going. With a habit of collecting age old instruments, Trabant resourcefully remain to instill all that is great about impulsive music making.
The Italian one:
Four members make up Trabant actually: Giulia (keyboards), Giacomo (drums), Giovanni (voice, guitar) and Michele (bass).
The band operates in Trieste, in the north-east of Italy, but has collected several gigs around the Country anyway.
After having crossed different line-ups and genres, Trabant has finally find his stable form in 2006.
In October 2007 they have released their first album, "Music 4 Losers", recorded for R!SVP Records and in 2010 the second album called simply "Trabant".

Trabant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With no way of knowing, when the
wheels stop spinning cause we don't
know where we're going...
and here we are, on the best day of our lifes.
And it's a go, lets make it last, so cheers you
all to that, 'cause this moment's never comin' back
knew I loved her, 'till the day she laid her
eyes on me. Now I'm jumpin' up and down,
she's the only one around, and she means
every little thing to me
I've got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
whenever I think about you. I've got
your mix-tape in my Walkman, been so
long since we've been talkin' and in a few
more days, we'll both up, forever and ever
And here I am, on the west coast of
America and I've been tryin' to think for weeks of
all the ways to ask you, And now
I've brought you to the place, Where I've
poured my heart out, a million times, for a million
reasons, To offer it to you
I used to know her brother, but I never
knew I loved her, 'till the day she laid her
eyes on me. Now I'm jumpin' up and down,
she's the only one around, and she means
every little thing to me
I've got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
Whenever I think about you,. I've got
your mixed tape in my Walkman, been so
long since we've been talkin' and in a few
more days, we'll both up, forever and ever
I used to know her brother, but I never
knew I loved her, 'till the day she laid her
eyes on me. Now I'm jumpin' up and down,
she's the only one around, and she means
every little thing to me
I've got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
Whenever I think about you,. I've got
your mixed tape in my Walkman, been so
long since we've been talkin' and in a few
more days, we'll both up, forever and ever
The lyrics to Trabant's song Moment of Truth revolve around the idea of cherishing the best moments of life while they last. The singer reflects on the uncertainty of life and the inevitability of change, and how the present moment should be treasured as it will never come back. The first verse acknowledges the unknowable nature of the future and how one can only live in the moment. The second verse is about the singer's lovestruck feelings for a girl who he never realized he loved until she noticed him. He expresses how this girl means everything to him, and he carries her keepsakes with him wherever he goes. Finally, the singer reveals that he is making a grand gesture of love to the girl he loves, and that he has been longing to do this for weeks. He acknowledges that he has poured his heart out in this place before, and now he is offering it to her.
The song captures a sentiment that many people feel at some point in their lives. The moments we cherish may not be the grandest or most significant moments in our lives, but we hold onto them because they were the happiest. The song is a celebration of these moments and the people we share them with. It emphasizes that we should hold onto these memories tightly because they are fleeting, and once they pass, they can never be regained.
