Design by ShmooYOOD, the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet, is the new name for great, big sound. Three guys originally from North America, for the last decade playing backup to the giants on the Israeli scene, take virtuosity to new levels on their debut album, Passin’over, which has the kind of soulful, soaring guitar riffs you feel before you hear. Drawing inspiration from Hendrix, Cream and Dylan, this professionally trained classic rock trio performs original music and lyrics along with classic covers.
Front man Lazer Lloyd, who has toured extensively with legendary Israeli jam band Reva L’Sheva, and has played with Matisyahu and Danny Sanderson, does his magic with guitars and harmonica; Yaacov Lefcoe (Dr. Jake), whose roots are in hard rock/ funk, is master of the “monster bass sound”; and Moshe “Russian Percussion” Yankovsky charms the drums with his ethnic, fusion sound. Their band was born in Jerusalem at the start of the new millennium, and is known for its massive tight groove and high energy live show.
YOOD’s intense instrumentation harnesses the power of the thinking, feeling, and agile electric guitar - - on a burning journey to elevate Rock’s heyday, via Kabbalah and Chassidic influences.
