Silver Jews Get Israeli On Your Ass, Tour Europe With Tel-Aviv Rockers Monotonix

Let’s cut the bullshit and forge the nitty gritty here:

Monotonix: Three-piece Israeli classic rock yet punk-at-heart freak-out band; have tendencies to destroy all venues, playing the show from within the audience, dousing themselves in beer, and lighting themselves on fire; while the Tel-Avivers proclaim "classic rock" as their prime inspiration, they don’t consider their own music "classic classic rock," which is just about the only way to put it.

----

Silver Jews: David Berman and (at one time) Steven Malkmus’ alt-country, indie-rock project predating Pavement; sedated and sardonic with nine years of experience and six albums under their belt (come July); Berman refused to play live until 2006 — now tours with his wife and fellow Jews member Cassie Berman.

Put it all together and what have you got? Something incomprehensibly epic.

See It To Believe It.
