With the death of Gabriel "Negru" Mafa last year, few had hopes that Negură Bunget would continue in any way. Surviving members of the band's last lineup have decided however to form a new band in the spirit of the fallen band, under the name Sur Austru.

The band will perform its debut show at DET Open Air in Bucharest, organized and headlined by Bucovina. The band will premiere songs which will appear on the band's upcoming debut album, as well as some songs written under Negură Bunget.

The band's members which have been part of Negură Bunget in the past are: Stefan Zaharescu (vocals), Tibor Kati (vocals/guitars/keyboards), Ovidiu Corodan (bass) and Petrica Ionutescu (traditional instruments). Joining them are Corodan and Kati's Grimegod colleagues, Mihai Florea (guitars) and Hoit (guitars); and Sergiu Nabadan (drums).
