A reunion show for "Noar Shulayim" !!
A few weeks ago, musician Dudi Levi held a launch show for his new song "HaLehaka HaKtana MeHolon" [The Little Band from Holon], which tells the story of his first band, "Noar Shulayim". At the show, Dudi reunited the band, with Michael Ben David taking Mikiagi's place on vocals. After that successful appearance, the band played a surprise show in the Barby club's "Hatul BaSak" series, where the performers' identities are kept secret. The revived Little Band from Holon has now decided to play an official full show at Barby on December 15, 2022. Buy tickets here.
There is a new supergroup in town. Current and former members of "Pantera", "Judas Priest" and "Rainbow" are joining forces in "Elegant Weapons". The band has announced its formation and signed with Nuclear Blast, which will release its debut album in spring 2023. The lineup features bassist Rex Brown (Pantera), guitarist Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest), drummer Scott Travis (Judas Priest/Fight) and singer Ronnie Romero (Rainbow). The debut, "Horns for a Halo", was produced by Andy Sneap, whose credits include albums by Opeth, Arch Enemy, Trivium, Killswitch Engage and many others.
Musician and guitar ace Nita Strauss is releasing her third new single, "The Wolf You Feed". This time, Nita teams up with "Arch Enemy" vocalist Alissa White-Gluz. Nita says she has wanted to work with Alissa for years, as she is one of her favorite singers. It is Nita's second collaboration with a guest vocalist, following her song with David Draiman of "Disturbed". Hold on tight before you press play, because these two are going to blow you away!!!
"Achley Bachley" has released its debut album, "Hooked", this week, accompanied by a celebratory launch show last night at Papaito in Tel Aviv, with guest guitarist Guy Be'er of HaYehudim. The album includes the band's internationally released song "Tear My Heart Away". The track was released in Los Angeles, California, and produced by DJ Fredy Muks, a veteran producer who took the brothers under his wing after hearing them play and write. A music video accompanied the song, which is available on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and other platforms.
The band was founded by brothers Niv and Itai Ortal, graduates of an arts and science school who study at Rimon School of Music and run their own recording studio, Ortal Studios. Their influences include Alter Bridge, Avenged Sevenfold and Linkin Park. Recommended!!!

Now it is "Subterranean Masquerade"'s turn to go unplugged!!
Jerusalem's Yellow Submarine venue continues its wonderful unplugged series, an excellent initiative and production. This time, "SubMask" performs three songs unplugged: "Snake Charmer", "The Stilnox Oratory" and "Mountain Fever".
Singer Bono told The New York Times this week that "U2" plans to release a very loud album influenced by "AC/DC". Really? Bono added that "Songs Of Ascent", which the band has been discussing since 2009, is almost finished but has been put on hold for now because the band wants to make a noisy, uncompromising and unreasonable guitar album. He even mentioned Mutt Lange, producer of AC/DC's classic albums, as a potential collaborator. He said he did not know who would produce it, but if U2 wants to sound like AC/DC, it needs Mutt Lange, his approach, his discipline and his songwriting discipline...
