Biography
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.
He has a fondness for straight forward story-telling and simple arrangements, and looks to acoustic blues, outlaw country, British Invasion and early punk as inspirations.
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.
