Locomotiv GT (often abbreviated LGT, and sometimes using the nickname Loksi) was a Hungarian rock band formed in 1971. Starting out as a progressive rock band, they later experimented with many other styles including jazz, funk, and pop. During their heyday they were one of Hungary's most popular rock bands. The band broke up in 2016 after the death of longtime singer/bassist Tamás Somló......
Their self-titled debut album was released in December 1971, and their second album Ringasd el magad was released the following year. The band's third album Bummm! was released in 1973. Tamás Barta left the band and defected to the United States, which then caused the Hungarian government to ban Bummm! for the next ten years in retaliation. (Barta was murdered in the United States under mysterious circumstances in 1982.)...

In 1973, the band made several successful tours to neighboring countries: Poland, the GDR, Czechoslovakia, where they gained many fans. The band's third album “Bummm!” [7] (Locomotiv GT III) was recorded in July 1973 and released in the fall of the same year. The front cover featured the band members and a grenade with a burning fuse under their feet. And they really blew up the Hungarian (and not only) rock society with their music. The title song and the next hit was a long version of Ringasd el magad II (Rock Yourself), which also became the main theme of the previous rock musical. She was supported by Tamas Barta's clockwork number Szabadíts meg (Set Me Free). The band also helped record an album by another popular Hungarian singer, Katia Kovacs, which was released a year later under the name Kovács Kati – LGT (Pepita, 1974)[8].
VálaszTörlésIn autumn, Lokomotiv GT recorded its English-language album Locomotiv GT in London, for which the best numbers of its repertoire were selected. Tamash Barta was the author of seven of the 11 melodies, and Jack Bruce, the leader of the first British supergroup Cream, played along with the band in the studio on one of them (She's Just 14). But the Ministry of Culture of the Hungarian People's Republic banned the release of this album abroad.
The Path to Glory (1974-1980)
In 1974, on the eve of the band's two-month summer tour of the States, this album was nevertheless released in England (Epic, 1974) and was reissued in the USA on the ABC Records label. Tamash Barta, as the main composer, remained in America in protest against the ban of the album, becoming a "non-returnee". He had long dreamed of America. Tamash Shomlo recalled: "Nothing kept him at home. He didn't have a house or money here." Then, in retaliation for the musician, the album "Bummm!" was banned in Hungary. The English album was immediately re-released in neighboring Yugoslavia (Suzy, 1976).
As for Barta, he plunged into the musical bohemian world of Los Angeles, participated in concerts of famous Californian bands Beach Boys and Sly & the Family Stone, who then began singing socially oriented songs, worked as a session musician, and later engaged in business. But on February 16, 1982, Barta was found shot twice in the head at his home in Los Angeles. The Colombian drug mafia was suspected of the murder [9]. 10 years after his death, the band released a commemorative album "In memoriam - Barta Tamás (1948-1982) Emléklemez" (Hungaroton, 1992) with the most popular recordings of Tamas Barta with LGT, Sarolta Zalatnay and Katya Kovacs
