“Big Blind Special” were originally formed in 2005 as “Ball&Chain”.
Since then the band has had a couple of makeovers , including a new bass player and a new name.
The band currently consists of:
Leon Yanovski - Vocals / guitar
Boris Stessin - Bass / backup vocals ( replaced Dani Kravitz in 2006 )
Victor Halperin- Lead guitar
Alex Rozenberg - Drums and percussions
The band’s style could be defined as alternative/rock/grunge.
The idea of forming a band originated in 2005 when Leon and Victor met and discovered they had similar interests in music and musical directions.
They soon began sharing and exchanging ideas and guitar compositions. After a few months of jamming together the two met with Dani kravitz and decided to form a band.
The lineup was complete when shortly after, Alex Rozenberg , a talented local drummer, joined the three , thus creating "Ball&Chain".
The next year was very productive as the band members were rehearsing and performing with a great arsenal of original songs that were composed almost on a daily basis.
In 2006 Dani left the band to pursue an academic career , and Boris Stessin, who had been a bass player in a local Haifa band , “Roxy” , stepped in.
Since then the quartet has recorded a debut album titled “A Being Supreme” in "Hamaklet" studios in Holon , Israel , under the band's new name : “Big Blind Special” ( which is a term in No limit Hold’em , a poker game), and have had numerous gigs on different stages around Israel.
The band is currently working on a second album, and performing in Israel.
£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
Hugs from Brazil, Claudio David

South African Corona, whose second album is getting ready to be launched on Solar Tech very soon, and his compatriot Chabunk teamed for a Sunset Safari. As this term implies, it is an beautiful but also an adventurous tour that awaits the listeners. On the contrary of cheesy standard melodies, these varied tracks put the idea of Trance in a nutshell and distinguish themselves by forcing power and deepness. While most of them represent the creativity of South Africa, also material from Brazil, Chile, the UK and Germany is included.
