Men of North Country (MONC) is a soul band from Tel Aviv, Israel, signed to Acid Jazz Records. The band formed in 2008 and comprise lead singer Yashiv Cohen, drummer/producer Boaz Wolf, guitarist Doron Farhi, bassist Jonathan Ydov and a three-piece brass section comprising Ido Kretchmer (trombone) and siblings Sefi Sizzling (trumpet) and Ongy Sizzling (saxophone). Men of North Country currently have two studio albums released on Acid Jazz Records, ''The North'' (2012) and ''This City'' (2016). Biography MONC came about when soul DJ Yashiv Cohen (vocals) was overheard singing along with the tunes he was playing at one of TASC (Tel Aviv Soul Club) parties. A suggestion was thrown out. He took it to his friends from the rock’n’roll band Electra – Nitzan Horesh (guitars), Doron Farhi (bass) and Boaz Wolf (drums, keys) – and then to the Sizzling Horns of Sefi Sizzling (of Funk'n'stein and The Ramirez Brothers, trumpet), his protégé baby brother Ongy Sizzling (of Coolooloos ...

The Seeker (The Who Song)
"The Seeker" is a song written by Pete Townshend and performed by English rock band the Who. First released as a non-album single in March 1970, it is included on their 1971 compilation album ''Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy'' and other compilations. Background Around the time of the song's release, Townshend explained its meaning in an interview with ''Rolling Stone'': "I suppose I like this least of all the stuff", wrote Townshend the following year. "It suffered from being the first thing we did after ''Tommy'', and also from being recorded a few too many times. We did it once at my home studio, then at IBC where we normally worked then with Kit Lambert producing. Then Kit had a tooth pulled, breaking his jaw, and we did it ourselves. The results are impressive. It sounded great in the mosquito-ridden swamp I made it up in—Florida at three in the morning drunk out of my brain with Tom Wright and John Wolff. But that's always where the trouble starts, in the swamp. The alligat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
