Salem will meet with fans on Thursday, August 28th 2008 at the Marom Musical Instruments, 1nd Jabotinsky street, Ramat Gan, between 18:00 and 20:00. See you there.
Nir Nakav, Salem's drummer, has uplaoded to his personal MySpace page his own unique version of one of the first drum hits of the 60s "Wipeout" (originally recorded by the Surfaris and written in a flash by their drummer Ron Wilson). Nir's version says hello to other great tracks that influenced Nir in his lifetime so look out for bits of Bonham's Rock and Roll, Deftones' Around the Fur, Toto's Rosanna, Slayer and Carcass. Spoken word is provided by Nir's son, Haim (4.5 years old).
On guitar and bass; Guy Be'er who is well known in Israel as the guitar player of the platinum selling act "Hayehudim" (The Jews). Guitars and bass were recorded by Daniel Brecher (the other guitar player of "Hayehudim" while the drum track was recorded as one take during a session in Rimon's studio. Rimon is a prestigious college for music in Israel out of which many national artists graduated in recent years. Guy and Nir are on the staff in Rimon, teaching the new generation of players the pleasures of metal.
