What is the connection between electronic music and a rock band's biography? Usually none, but in the case of Caveman we cannot ignore the fact that the eccentric piano man is from violet vision ,an act with world known reputation for creating the most twisted industrial/electronic sounds out there.
Take Violet Vision's sound and mix it up with Kfir Basson's mind blowing voice and his hair-raising harmonies. And you'll get anything but a normal Rock band as a result.
Kfir Basson was the singer for one of Israel 's most successful rock band in the late nineties ( The Selfish Gene ). They also spent 5 years playing the UK rock scene and they took it by storm. The Selfish Gene was known for Kfir's exceptional voice, their impressive stage presence and refined sound.
Recently relocated to Hollywood , CA to finish their debut album with great help from producers Dan Long ( TV On the Radio, the YeahYeahYeahs ), Paul Mahajan ( The National, TV On The Radio ) And Malcolm Burn ( Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan ) And Nadav Katz.
Caveman's sound is the unique result of great songwriting with cutting edge production and programming played by an Israeli super-group , and one thing is for sure-their live show is nothing like the ordinary. .
"An Istraeli supergroup of sorts, Caveman has a huge Guitar Rock sound with Blues roots but also sards of AltMetal here and there. It will resonate immediately with Hard Rock fans, especially the stretched-note vocal delivery and guitar solos. But the Electronica flourishes are what will sear it into your memory".

CAVEMAN "DIRTY FACES CLEAN HEARTS" - Album review by: Charbarred The Plugg "A good rock album is very hard to come by nowadays. On the one hand you have the Emo bands that are doing their best not to break any new ground, and are getting staler by the minute. On the other hand you have the 80’s revivalists who have more than out-stayed their welcome. And that’s why I was all sorts of happy when CAVEMAN debut album landed in my lap.
From the opening track of ‘ Dirty Faces Clean Hearts ’ you know you’re in for a treat. For the price of a rock album you get great riffs, crazy samplers, amazing vocals and incredible song writing.
