We know that when you mention Israel to most folks, all too often, the images that spring to mind involve deserts, warfare and bloody conflict.
But anyone who has visited the Land of Milk and Honey will tell you that Israel is so much more than that

TLV’s Terry Poison makes New York debut during CMJ Music Festival
NEW YORK – Tel Aviv’s notorious electrock&roll group, Terry Poison, is making its New York City debut during this year’s annual CMJ music festival.
On Wednesday, October 21st, 2009, arriving straight from a performance at L.A.’s Fashion Week, this undergr...ound electro group will take the stage for an explosive concert at DROM in the East Village (Avenue A between 5th and 6th St.). Doors open at 10 p.m.
With platinum blonde Louise on vocals, sexy Petite on keyboards, Anna on guitar, Gili on synth guitar, and Bruno rounding out the group as the self-proclaimed pimp on synth bass, Terry Poison is an all-live explosion. They have a killer rock ’n’ roll vibe wrapped up in electronic sound provided by three keyboards, live drums and guitar.
Rising from the sweaty underground, Terry Poison has been performing together relentlessly all over Europe since 2004. Putting a great emphasis on music, staging and fashion—supported by two of TLV’s most renowned stylists—Terry Poison’s music and live shows have been described as nothing short of “American sleaze with European finesse,” “A true love-child of samplers and guitar riffs, analogue synths and apocalyptic beats”, and their favorite: “The Tarantino of pop”.
Terry Poison has hit the mainstream in Israel with their three massive hits that made it No. 1 on national radio. They were the warm-up act for electro-pop legends Depeche Mode during their opening tour concert in May 2009.
Hitting the international scene, Terry Poison has achieved worldwide exposure from stations such as Radio Nova (Paris), papers such as Liberation and fashion magazines such as Vice, WWD (US), Dazed and Confused (UK) and Oyster Magazine (Australia).
The group released their first EP in April 2007 on the French label Ekler’0’shock with hot dance floor remixes by DatA and Don Rimini.Read More
