History

Although the band members were born in different parts of Hungary, namely Ajka, Békéscsaba, Celldömölk, Devecser and Szigetvár), 30Y was formed in Pécs by the Beck brothers (László and Zoltán), Gradvolt, Sárközi and Varga. They chose the name 30Y, which was a bus service in Pécs. In the early years, they played with other Hungarian bands such as Anima Sound System, Heaven Street Seven, Kispál és a Borz and Quimby.

In 2007, 30Y hired Dávid Schram as record producer and Zoltán Takács and László Philipp as music engineers to record a full-length studio album entitled Semmi Szédítő Magasság. The album was recorded at the Abnormal Studios in Budapest so the band rented a flat in the capital.^[1]
