[ punk/performance art ]

This roving trio of Tel Aviv troublemakers dishes out some agreeably sloppy, spirited grunge-punk on its albums, like the just-released, Steve Albini-produced Not Yet (Drag City). But they've really made a name for themselves with their live shows, wreaking a kind of havoc it can be difficult to make sense of from mere hearsay. Their increasingly notorious performances, which rarely take place on an actual stage, typically involve near-constant crowd-surfing (of the whole band, including the drum set), with burly, Zappa-haired ringleader Ami Shalev climbing on everything in sight, as well as plenty of spewing fluids (bodily and otherwise), upturned trash cans, fire, nudity and general abuse. As the title of one of their new songs has it: "Fun Fun Fun."
