10.HASIDIC NEW WAVE-Psycho-Semitic (KFW 203)

Second ridiculously cool offering by Frank London & Greg Wall's progressive/jazz/rock/funk/fusion mid east groove fest JWA (Jews With Attitudes) hipsters. This is an all-star quintet that also features Dave "The Fuse" Fiuczynski, local el. guitar god (from Screaming Headless Torsos & MMW offshoots), Fima Ephron on el. bass (from local fusion greats-Lost Tribe) & Aaron Alexander (from Babkas) on powerful drummage. The tunes successfully bridge the ancient with the modern, traditional Hebrew melodies psychadelisized!! From the slow burn slyness of "Trancendence" to the heavy metal tov of "Habibi", you don't have to be Jewish to dig Hasidic New Wave! .
