The Marching Band

About Me

The Marching band is a one man band, formed by Oren Raab in 1998, in Israel. Since forming, the band has completed four albums and two EPs and has released one album - "Outreach" - which is sold in stores to the general public. The band is currently working on releasing the new EP, "Sing Me to Sleep" - of which four songs are available for preview on this website - and which is going to be the first (as far as we know) joint EP with another Israeli band in the history of Israeli music.The Marching Band is now coming back to performing after a long two year hiatus, and is also starting work on its next album, "Airports for Shadows", which is going to come out in November 2007.
