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.

Discography:
1994 “Sitting on Top of the World”,
1997 “Plum Brandy Blues”
2005 “Rhythm’n’Bulz”
