A Little Bit More & a Little Bit More

 

Erez 'I.Zen' Eisen & Amit 'Duvdev' Duvdevani formed the PsyTrance unit Infected Mushroom in Haifi, Isreal in 1996. Erez is a classically trained musician. He learned to play the organ at age four. Amit learned to play piano at age eight. He played keyboards in a punk band as a teen. Infected Mushroom play a distinct style of hard, pulsing electronics with psychedelic stylings & contantly shifting tempos. They rely on a complex mix of acoustic guitars & synthesized basses



This, their seventh release, finally broke into the Billboard charts, reaching the Top 10 in Dance/Electronic albums of 2009. Constantly touring (averaging 120+ shows per year including Coachella & Burning Man - 2009, 2011, 2014, 2016, & 2022), Infected Mushroom live include Erez & Amit with additional vocalists & analog instruments (guitars & drums) set against a multimedia backdrop.

    1. I'm guessing HR from Bad Brains? I'm guessing I'm jealous?

  3. Hey Nathan this guys are terrific, glad to see them featured here.
    Along with Hadag Nahash (in the hiphop terrain) and Garden City Movement they are some of the best in Israel's music scene.
    Cheers
    Diego.
