Geva Alon (Hebrew: <#1490;<#1489;<#1506; <#1488;<#1500;<#1493;<#1503;) is one of the most versatile and accomplished Israeli singer-songwriters of the last decade. He was born in a small Kibbutz (Then still a socialist commune-like community). He wrote his first song at the age of 14 and took the guitar seriously, practicing countless hours as a kid. As the founder < leader of <#8220;the flying baby<#8221; <#8211; probably the most powerful rock trio Israel has ever produced <#8211; he became known as an extraordinary < inventive guitar-player, capable of both hot-fierce fret-work solos and long slow moving jams into the unknown. But Alon is more then that <#8211; a gifted songwriter, he wrote all the lyrics < music to the band<#8217;s songs. As a singer he possessed a haunting < surprising vocal register - sometimes comparable to early Neil young.
With the band Alon had recorded 3 albums (their debut is still officially unreleased). Their second album, <#8220;inner world<#8221; (2001) was hailed as <#8220;The best non-Hebrew Israeli rock album since (<#8220;the Churchills<#8221; legendary psych LP from) 1968<#8221;. The Band toured extensively all over California for sixteen months < played mostly in < around the bay area. <#8220;Pain to give<#8221;- their 3rd album was released in 2004 on the <#8220;Blue Sun Music<#8221; Label to rave reviews. It contained dark memorable moments such as <#8220;Doorway To Simplicity<#8221; (with a great < gloomy Tom Verlaine<#8217;s <#8220;Feel<#8221;) alongside long excursions as <#8220;Bound To Go Crazy<#8221;.
In 2006 Geva Alon released his debut solo album <#8220;Days Of Hunger<#8221;. This was a surprising acoustic-based effort, with country-rock < acid-folk edge that met with a tremendous success in Israel. Alon<#8217;s live performances, usually in small Tell Aviv clubs, drew more < more people in the last 3 years, and he is regarded as a great performer with a <#8220;take-no-prisoners<#8221; attitude < a tendency for long surprising guitar workouts. <#8220;The Wall Of Sound<#8221;, Geva<#8217;s latest solo album was a much more rock-oriented journey. A well crafted combination between The Flying Baby<#8217;s electric power, a dose of pop sensibilities and the acoustic <#8220;feel<#8221; of his debut. The album sold a couple of thousand copies 3 weeks after its release < the single <#8220;Modern Love<#8221;, an emotional acoustic take on Bowie (the only cover on an all-original album) became an instant hit in Israel. Now he is back at the NY scene with 2 Guitars, 10 fingers (thank God!) and some amazing songs for a series of rare live shows far from the holy-land. Don<#8217;t miss the guy! He<#8217;s a good one!
