Acollective is a remarkable indie pop-rock band from Israel that began performing internationally a couple of years ago. They'e acclaimed for their catchy songs and energetic stage performance. They'll be releasing their second album in early 2014.

 

Acollective is available for festivals during summer '14 and there will be an indoor tour after release of the new album.

 

In the past couple of years, the band opened and shared bills with acts like Flaming Lips, Jose Gonzales, Animal Collective and more, had amazing shows last year in SXSW & Savannah Festival, and toured USA.

 

Formed in 2008, Acollective is a 7-piece band and social movement, fronted by Roy Rieck and Idan Rabinovici. The band's early shows became a weekly cult gathering in Tel-Aviv, and they were soon playing sold-out shows - establishing a loyal fan-base and gaining critical acclaim and extensive airplay in Israel – all this without any support or plan of any sort. Since 2009 they have toured and lived between Israel, France and the UK, quickly earning a local following and a reputation for show-stopping concerts, wherever they are. Acollective are a mesmerising live experience, a mayhem of whisky, sweat, and a seemingly infinite arsenal of genres and musical instruments - mixing up boogied-folk, electronic-jazz and a Middle Eastern-bluesy twang. Their distinctive captivating sound and energetic stage presence has led to support slots for Okkervil River and Jose Gonzalez, amongst others, rave reviews in international press (including NME and Filter Magazine), and even a recording session at the Manic Street Preachers' private studio, courtesy of the band. Acollective's new album - ONWARDS, produced by Chris Shaw (Bob Dylan, Super Furry Animals, Guillemots, and many more), was released in March 2011. Acollective is Acollective. Words are nice. Music is better.
