“A delicious mixture of blues and folk music from the Balkan area, with some jazzy-funky grooving on top, and a whole lot of humour. NIGHTLOSERS’ music is full of surprises and original turns.
‘The blues playing was superb, the singing completely authentic: these guys knew what they were doing. (The Independent)

A documentary about the band.
NIGHTLOSERS got together in 1994, in the city of Cluj, Transsylvania, Romania, as a jam band in a local student pub. That’s also where, after a while, they found out they were given the name Nightlosers.
The music is a combination of American Rhythm and Blues, Rock ‘n’ Roll and elements of Transylvanian folklore: Romanian, Hungarian and Gypsy folk music.
