Where the existential poetry of Sam Shepard, the sparse blues of Jimmy Reed and anti-virtuoso punk sensibility collide. Strong Texas-flavored Americana with postmodern seasoning, brewed up in urban Tel Aviv.
View Zach Wheat's EPK Zach Wheat hails from Flour Bluff, a semi-autonomous zone of Corpus Christi, Texas, where the locals are known as "Bluff Rats." He is currently in Tel Aviv, working on a novel as part of a Master's thesis in Creative Writing at Bar-Ilan University, and covers the Israeli diamond industry as a news corespondent for Rapaport News.
Elad Avni, bassist and poet, comes from Rehovot, Israel and is currently studying Biology and Chemistry at Hebrew University in Jerusalem with aspirations to one day become an evil scientist. He is currently teaching Zach Wheat how to keep time and how to not get ripped off by Israeli cab drivers. He also coaxes him to sing "Cigarettes, Whiskey, and Wild, Wild Women" in respectable Jerusalem taverns to unsuspecting patrons.
Yoav "Babush" Wald also hails from Rohovot, and studies Physics & Computer Science at Hebrew U. Babush shuns guitar virtuosos, preferring post-punk influences such as Sonic Youth and the Pixies, and pushing his ancient Fender Squire Stratocaster beyond its Korean-engineered design limitations with carefully crafted walls of noise. Babush dreams of one day owning a vintage Fender Jazzmaster and spending time with his girlfriend in his short and infrequent breaks from studying.
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
