The message emerging musicians should get when hearing music from artists like Yonatan Gat – who is currently on an East Coast tour selling out small venues – is simple: it doesn’t really matter what kind of music you play: as long as it’s your own thing, and you are awfully good at it, and you keep at it, some people will respond to it. The NYC based musician hasn’t even chosen the most crowd pleasing of styles: a genre defying, mostly instrumental mixture of psychedelia, tribal rhythms and punk; but boy, the results are jaw dropping on record, and mind blowing live. By the way, is the band’s drummer human? Find that out yourself on November 24 at The Knitting Factory.
