TV Buddhas

The TV BUDDHAS, currently based in Germany, but originally from Tel Aviv, have been playing their own blend of alienation drenched garage-punk for the past five years, first as a duo and later as a trio. Their music is reminiscent of The Wipers and Dead Moon, with a heavier, Stoner guitar sound, and minimalistic drumming played on a stripped down kit. The band consists of husband and wife Juval Haring and Mickey Triest, and sibling Uri Triest.
Since leaving Israel in 2007 they have released numerous tour CDRs and cassettes, 2 LPs, an EP and a 7 inch record on both the Austrian label Trost, and the German label Staatsakt, all in the midst of intensive touring, sometimes playing over 200 shows a year.
The band's old school modus operandi is their signature : Their records are all self produced one take econo recordings, their massive tours all self booked and managed, they work only within a circle of friends and sustain themselves mainly from the work of the band. Subsequently, they have become known as one of the most real and hardworking underground acts to come out of Europe.
