“This is what happens when real musicians make aggressive dance music…Amit Duvdevani and Erez Eisen produce category-defying electronica that engages your cerebrum even as it kicks your gluteus maximus onto the dance floor…What ever expectations of ‘dance music’ you have, this CD will shatter them and make you thankful that it did. A great ride.”
—Stephen Fortner, KEYBOARD, September 2009
Electronic-rock innovators INFECTED MUSHROOM have announced several high-profile performances and new tour dates for this spring as they continue to support their latest release LEGEND OF THE BLACK SHAWARMA (Perfecto). For these dates, the INFECTED MUSHROOM band—Amit “Duvdev” Duvedevani (vocals), Erez Eisen (keyboards), Rogerio Jardim (drums) and Tom Cunningham (guitar)—promise an intense live show highlighting songs from the new album, plus material from their previous seven releases.
The psy-trance pioneers will make a momentous appearance at Awakening, a double-header bill with German electronic artist ATB February 20, at the Hollywood Palladium. The band will also head to Miami where they will perform Friday, March 26 at this year’s Ultra Music Festival.
In April, the Israel-bred, Southern California-based outfit return home for their second appearance at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. On Sunday, April 18, they’ll perform in front of thousands at the popular Sahara tent. The band is also scheduled to make stops at the Gryphon Nightclub in Hollywood, FL, the Fox Theater in Boulder, CO, San Francisco’s Regency Ballroom and many more on the extensive tour. Tickets for these shows are available now.
On Legend Of The Black Shawarma, INFECTED MUSHROOM continue to push sonic boundaries with their psy-trance fusion of bruising, metallic rock and unstoppable dance-floor beats to a new level and sees the pair teaming with high-profile rockers. The album’s lead single “Smashing the Opponent” features scorching vocals from Jonathan Davis of Korn fame, while Jane’s Addiction frontman and alt-rock trailblazer Perry Farrell lends his inimitable pipes to the follow-up track “Killing Time.” Most recently, the duo collaborated with Matisyahu on the track “One Day,” which is now charting in the Top 10 in Israel.
