Imagine the jamming of Phish mixed with the vocal strength of Pearl Jam and the spiritual lyrics of U2 and seasoned with a Middle-Eastern influence, and you can begin to describe the sound of Moshav. Although its music comes from the Jewish culture of the band members’ upbringing, Moshav is as mainstream as any pop/alternative band. Raised on Moshav Meor Modi’im, a musical village in the hills between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, the three young men of Moshav are determined to make it in the mainstream world the way they already have in the Judaic world.
As its name implies, the music of this new band is something of a revelation. The brainchild of two Israeli Yemenite brothers, Yahav and Yaniv Tsaidi, Heedoosh performs deeply personal, spiritual Jewish rock music that pulls no punches. The songs are of breathtaking beauty and complexity, rooted in sacred text and combined with contemporary verses gilded with a true rock edge influenced by Stone Temple Pilots, Radiohead, Coldplay and Oasis—a mix of hard rock and Brit-pop with Hebrew lyrics and Jewish themes.
