Eef Barzelay is an Israeli born/American based musician and leader of the band Clem Snide. Since the debut Clem Snide album in 1998, he has released more than a dozen albums - a few of them as a solo artist.
In 2011 he released an EP of songs by Seattle band Transmissionary Six and Terri Tarantula. He was originally asked by Paul Austin a member of the band,to record a Terri Tarantula song as a surprise for her because she was a big fan of Clem Snide. That grew into an EP. The surprise must've been heartfelt because his interpretation of "Shaker Star" is sensational. The song itself is interesting enough.... it's inspired by the song "Death Valley Rain" from Steve Wynn and the Miracle 3 - due to the shaker performance from the drummer Linda Pitmon. It's a great moment when a little known artist finally attracts some of your attention - but brings to light an unknown artist simultaneously in one song. The EP is Black Tin Rocket (Songs of the Transmissionary Six) and it's a stayer.

Deap Vally - "Gonnawanna"
Deap Vally are an Alt-Rock duo from LA. Since 2011, Lindsey Troy (guitar, vocals) and Julie Edwards (drums and vocals), have been entertaining crowds all over the world with their blend of Rock/Blues/Garage Rock and topped up with a bit of metal. At times they can be like The White Stripes in more ways than just the guitar and drums combo. Their live footage tells us one thing for sure... that they were born to rock, no argument. "Gonnawanna" is from their forthcoming album 'Femejism' out real soon and a candidate for the album title of the year.
