Rockfour is considered by many to be one of the most influential and important psychedelic rock bands to emerge from Tel Aviv, Israel. For 15 years, the band released ten albums,both in Hebrew and English that marked the band as true innovator of the neo-psych sound, while still keeping loyalty to their father figures of 60's [...]
Eight new cross-genre covers from an up-and-coming Israeli record label.
So that's it, the year's over. I heard a lot of great music this year, some stuff from the past and a lot of new stuff. This mixtape is about the new songs I've heard that captured my ear and didn't let go. Of course there are many many others, but to get them all in one [...]
It was another great year in music. Again, like last year, I can't understand those who insists that 'nothing good happened in 20102, annoying hipsters. It was such a diverse year, full of brilliant gems. I won't go into charts and numbering, but here's a rough overview of the stuff I liked this year. Some of the [...]

Israeli rock act Rockfour performed at NCPA, Mumbai on Tuesday, Oct 26. We were there. Tolling guitars and intergalactic sound samples and timeslowdown vocal harmonies and simplistic spatialization. Psychedelic Tel Aviv band Rockfour played a gig last night, right at the centre of an audience of unfortunately only about 150 people, seated in the NCPA Theater, Mumbai. It's been a while since we've seen a band so resounding; simultaneous droning and screeching, rippling guitars with each song bleeding into the next. The band has been around since 1988, quietly accumulating [...]
Couple of days ago, drummer Ami Traibetch passed away suddenly. He was 62 when he left us. Maybe his name wouldn't be familiar to most of you out there, but the band he played in, The Churchills maybe familiar to psych rock fans out there. The Churchills were a psych band, who released one album in 1969 in [...]

Image From Here It really seems to me that the pace of life has gotten out of control these days. Everyone is in a hurry to get something done or to be somewhere fast. Even though I am unemployed right now, I still feel the 'tug' of the maddening, fast pace of life. You see it everywhere; at the store, driving in your car, and even twittering on the internet (I do like to twitter though). Don't get me wrong, sometimes I thrive on this pace. It gets me moving and doing things [...]
You'll recall that trip back home, where I rooted through the dark corners of Mother's Basement and uncovered a forgotten mix tape! As promised, here's Part 2 of this fortunate find. Once again, Mad Props to The Boys in the Basement, who I should add recently successfully fought off attempts at sociopolitical profiling. Rockfour, "Half & Half" Githead, "These Days" Clarence Smith, "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" Cobra Verde, "Crashing in a [...]
