TAMOUZ started its first steps in 1975. It was collaboration between Shalom Hanoch (vocals, songwriting) and Ariel Zilber (vocals, keyboards). Other band members are: Yehuda Adar (guitar), Meyir Israel (drums) and Eitan Gidron (bass). In 1976 the band produces "The End Of Orange Season" album. It was the only album the band ever produced. This album is considered a corner stone for Israeli Prog/Rock. The song "What is deep is blue" lasted 6 minutes and included arrangements never seen before in Israeli pop. In the beginning of 1976, shortly after issuing the album, Tamouz started a serious of live concerts. What made these unique was a new approach to production, sound and lighting. In fact sound equipment was imported from Europe. In overall, the idea was to bring British/US influence to Israeli rock audiences. Israeli entertainment media accepted the band with great enthusiasm. Despite the fact that all shows were sold out, production was very expensive which lead to financial losses. That caused tensions between band members. In the middle of 1976, Ariel Zilber leaves the band after other members refuse to record his song "Rutzi Shmulik". It was not so easy to end the band. Because of its financial obligations, the band was forced to continue performances.TAMOUZ performed for the last time on July 10th, 1976 in kibbutz Ayelet Hashahar. All band members became major music figures in Israeli music. Shalom Hanoch and Ariel Zilber both enjoyed great solo careers and popularity. The band played again in 1983 and for the last time in 2000 for one performance. TAMOUZ was not commercially successful rock band, but most definitely it was the most influential Israeli rock band in 70's until today.
