Biography
"... a critical mass of talent that is bound to explode overseas. It is highly
recommended to absorb it, as long as it's still here".
(Yoav Bril "Time-Out Tel Aviv")
Eatliz first appeared on the Israeli indie scene in September 2002
and has been playing a significant role in it ever since. Eatliz is the second musical project initiated by Guy Ben-Shitrit, guitarist and main writer for the cult act Infectzia, whose humorous yet clever lyrics and unique blend of different styles gained a strong hold among an ever-growing crowd of Israeli teenagers.
The songs Ben-Shitrit writes for Eatliz are in English and aim at a more mature audience. His complex compositions and arrangements move between various musical arenas in a way which seems nearly impossible.
Different songs feature influences of hard-rock, surf, punk, goth,
power-pop and other genres;
at times several of these turn up in a single song (!).
As such a wide variety is hard to categorize, the band members will usually describe their music as "complicated pop".
The Eatliz ensemble joins together some of the best musicians in the local scene, all of them are active members in various renowned acts, each bringing his (or her) unique style and approach to the music.
This combination makes Eatliz a band like no other.
The group has earned its following through word of mouth and extensive touring of Tel Aviv clubs. Eatliz's fans like to invite others to come and see "the best band you haven't heard yet"; but that is about to change with the release of the band's full-length debut release "Violently Delicate";
the first video of which (for the song "Attractive") is a beautiful animated piece that has already stirred quite a buzz throughout the web.
"Attractive" video was nominated for 'the best Clip' award in the international animation festival "AnimaMundi" 2007.
The Full album titled "Violently Delicate" was released at 2007 and was critically acclaimed in Israel.
“Violently Delicate” will be released in Germany and Austria by Anova Records, in the end of August 2008 and will feature couple of showcases by the band.
