Hailed as the unlikely new
middle east must-watch rock'n'roll act (“The best new band in
Israel”, Time Out Tel Aviv), Electra is definitely
following the Kasbah Rock tradition: This band is
about passion, anger, raw live energy and fun, poured into jagged
guitar pop tunes that varies from '50s rockabilly to '60s harmonies,
and on to snotty punk and far beyond, with a current and vibrant edge.
Electra’s album, Heartbreaks for Fools, was released in Israel at Anova Music to a buzz of media attention (“A Massive album.. the current big thing”, Yedioth Achronoth, Israel’s largest daily).
It’s the song craft, the unique combination of influences, bawdy, rollicking melodies and stylish appeal that made Electra reach top positions in the major radio charts with the singles the band have put out. Songs They Taught Electra EP followed soon after, including cover versions for some of the Electra’s all time favorites.
Electra’s own hit single “Coming to Get You!” was described as “insanely catchy ska-driven rocker… the perfect summer party tune” (Jerusalem post).

Electra was invited to open up for The Fall and Art Brut in early 2011, headed to the SXSW Festival where they got raving reviews (“Paste magazine top 50 bands in SXSW 2011”), and then went on the play some successful shows in New York City (“hyper-maniacal trio, All bony elbows and jagged guitars”, My Old Kentucky Blog).
Last October they returned to the U.S for a cross country tour which included acclaimed performances at the Culture Collide festival in L.A & CMJ in NY ("these guys fuse rockabilly, punk, and Brit pop, reminding us of the Arctic Monkeys, in the best possible way", LA Weekly).
The band are currently working on their US tour for Spring 2012 and their European tour for Summer 2012.
