Two great Israeli bands on one bill: Teapacks with their song Push the Button was Israels entry for the Eurovision contest. It raised a Brou-Ha-Ha by the European organizers, as it referred indirectly to Irans nuclear ambitions. The YouTube video featuring the hit song instantly was viewed by over a million people.
Teapacks is:
Kobi Oz Lead Vocal
Gal Peremen Bass & vocals
Rami Yosifov Guitar & vocals
Moti Yosephe Drums
Noaam Yankelevitch Keyboards, accordion & vocals
Danny Aberjel Guitar
Izabos music has been described as a Brilliant, action packed combination of Psychedelic Rock, Disco, Punk and Arabic spices, or, if we are to name-drop, like an unlikely cross between Led Zeppelin, the Talking Heads, and Om Koltom.
Spinning between sets is dj handler, the founder and director of Shemspeed, Modular Moods, an independent record label, and the Sephardic Music Festival. As the brains behind Modular Moods and many of the hyped parties in and around NYC, dj handler defies musical stereotypes.
