Amiram Eini
- Actor
After years of playing gigs in various clubs in France, Scandinavia and
England, recording as a solo artist, and even busking in the streets of
New York, Israeli/Norwegian Amiram Eini decided to go back to his
musical roots and start a band. He joined forces with bass player Shai
Saadon, and drummer Alon Tavori, and the trio started playing gigs on
the Tel Aviv scene as "Amiram's Band". English born, classically
trained violinist and vocalist Emily Bennett soon joined in, and the
lineup was completed by guitarist Assaf Barak. Renaming themselves
"Amiram Inc.", the now quintet intensified work on their live show,
performing across the country and quickly creating a faithful
following. A few months down the road they entered the studio to record
their debut album, Little defects. Recorded in Tel Aviv, mixed in Oslo
Norway and mastered in Stockholm Sweden, the album reflects the band's
diverse influences, drawing from such greats as David Bowie, Bob Dylan,
Pearl Jam, Muse, Led Zeppelin, Dave Matthews Band, Ben Harper, Jeff
Buckley and others, as well as more eclectic sources like Norwegian
rock cabarets. The cultural melting pot in the band creates musical
tensions that while leaning heavily on a singer songwriter base, carry
a strong post grunge dynamic drive. Amiram's thoughtful lyrics,
unconventional melody lines and voice, along with Emilys violin and
vocals captured the audiences immediately. The album was met with
raving reviews in some of the country's leading magazines. Early 2007
the first single from the album "Allright" was released and instantly
became a hit on both national and local radio stations across the
country. With a change in the line up as Yaniv Ohana replaced Tavory as
drummer, Amiram Inc continued their relentless schedule, performing in
the U.K, Scandinavia, and Israel,
