Carusella (rock-Tel aviv/Israel) ... Formed in late 2007, Tel-Aviv’s heavy rock duo ‘Carusella’ is the musical project of guitarist and singer Tamar Aphek and drummer and singer Guy Shechter. Carusella is the culmination of years of writing and playing songs in other renowned bands in the Israeli alternative scene. In late 2008 Carusella independently released a debut album which gained massive recognition from the Israeli and European media. In their two years activety, the band toured massively in Europe and the US managing to play over 200 shows. Carusella has taken part in respected festivals such as 'SXSW'/Austin,TX; CMJ/New York,NY; 'Mission Creek Festival'/Iowa City, IA; 'Fusion festival'/Lars Field, Germany; 'DUNAjam'/Sardinia, Italy, and shared stage with bands such as 'Editors', 'Deerhoof', 'Torche', 'Kykesa' and many more. In using only guitar and drums, they stretched boundaries in their writing to deliver a fresh kind of genuine hardcore. Heavy and aggressive yet arranged almost poppy and catchy at the same time. Carusella's show is placed in the center of the room, closely sharing their tensed chemistry and explosive charged energies with the crowd. They are literally the meaning of “Boy-Girl”, “Super Loud”, and “Two Are Enough".
Background: Aphek and Shechter has recorded and toured together for 3 years with the band ‘ED’ which broke up closely to when "Carusella" was born. Both are considered well known figures in the Israeli alternative music scene. Aphek initiated and produced the first Israeli Independent Alternative "outdoors" festival in the north of Israel which is called ‘Hutsmize’. Shechter in his past has recorded and toured with various Israeli bands such as: ‘Kruzenshtern & Parohod’; 'Karate Band', ‘Monotonix’; ‘O.B.E.Y’; ‘Flying Baby’, ‘Superdrive’ and many more
