| Rashanim on Check out the myspace page for my new project, CircuitBreaker 'Shalosh,' Rashanim's latest CD for John Zorn's Tzadik Records, is now available here for download. click here to grab the album artwork new! Jon interviewed on 'now this! interview' --- "Hebraic motifs abound in [Rashanims] interplay. Hendrix and metal are lurking around in there too, and this mix can be electrifying" The Village Voice "Rashanim is one of the hottest young bands in the New Jewish Renaissance Featuring long time Masada veteran Marc Ribot on several tracks, [Masada Rock] is one of the most powerful and dynamic readings of Masada music on disc ." John Zorn, from the liner notes of Masada Rock Rashanim is a trio of guitar, bass and drums/percussion combining the power of rock with the spontaneity of improvisation, deep Middle Eastern grooves, and mystical Jewish melodies. The 'Jewish power trio' is led by Jon Madof on guitar and includes Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz (Pharaoh's Daughter) on bass and Mathias Kunzli (Lauryn Hill) on drums and percussion. The band gets its name from the noisemakers used during the raucous Jewish holiday of Purim. --- New video! 'Yosefa' live in NYC some other Rashanim live videos for your viewing pleasure: (courtesy of our friend Abe ) |
