"The hunger for success and recognition is behind us. Today we just come to enjoy"

Musicians Eran Tzur, Shlomi Bracha and Danny Makov were hungry for rock during the Corona period, so they decided to meet every week.

Very quickly a band was formed for them - "Tripoli".

In the first interview, they explain why they are dangerous foxes, tell what they learned at the court performances in Corona and reveal who revealed Noa Kirl to them.

"I want to delete everything called Pablo Rosenberg. Let them not know me. Then start over."

The professional connection between the three was created in Tzur's album "Purpose at the Bottom", where Bracha and Makov played. "I really enjoyed it and heard that we ring very well. Only three instruments but the sound sounds very rich," says Bracha. "Later Danny called me and offered to play together. I told him, maybe we will offer Eran too, but that everyone will come without an agenda. Eran will come without the flint and I will come without the blessing. I called Eran. Eran's answer was: 'Tuesday at ten'. I said "To him - come without the flint. It turned him on even more. We met, and in the first meeting we already had a song."

Why did you call yourself Tripoli? Because you're a trio?

Tzur: "We were very hesitant about the name, we ran full of names. Shlomi emits all sorts of funny things."

Congratulations: "I suggested Tripolipop, which is actually Tripolipop's Trip Hop."

Zur: "Tripoli remains. It is also a trio, also a trip and a name of three cities in the world, I know two of them.It also has the Middle East edge. "

What is different and what is similar between your new band and your other bands from the past or present?

Makov: "Listen, rock 'n' roll remains the same rock 'n' roll. It's the same stories, the same texts about life, except for what happened in a world that has changed insanely. What a twist. The twist is not very big, it's not like an invention of a genre. "

Bracha: "There is something that is fashionable. Fashion comes from the root of fashion. Fashion is a wheel. This wheel spins. Clothes change. Suppose you are a singer and you want to change the sound - then you change the musicians and the sound changes for you. Here everyone brings what he is. "He has accumulated over the years, his experience, passion and curiosity. The connection between us is interesting."

Zur: "What is different about me is that as mentioned I started creating together and not alone. And what is similar is that in the end you put a plug into an amplifier, press a button, open a microphone, sing and play. It is always the basis of the thing."

Blessing: "What the three of us have in common is this hunger, we are constantly ON."

It is impossible to avoid asking about the ego. The three of you are artists and musicians and have ego. How It Works?

Bracha: "It works. Ego is an important thing when it is in the right dose, like everything in life. Everyone has their own agenda, and there is respect between us as musicians, and there is listening, which is the advantage of age. And if someone does not see something then He stands his ground, and one has to give up, that's fine. "

Zur: "There is the advantage we have already gone through. One of the advantages of the way we have gone is that the ego is no longer the ego of a 25 year old boy who wants to break into the world. Shlomi saw huge audiences, I saw what I saw, Danny went through what he went through. The place of hunger for success and initial recognition is already behind us. So there is no such burden. I remember myself then, in Carmela 30 years ago, how this thing burned in me. , I argued, I told people how to play, great, I would go out in rehearsal distress. Today it's something else - we come to enjoy. I have already done my breakthrough, Shlomi and Danny have done theirs, we do not need this initial penetration into consciousness. ".

The ego got its own.

You paint everything in a wonderful light between you. There was no quarrel between you, let's say between Eran and Shlomi that the drummer Danny had to reconcile, as Ringo did in the quarrels between Paul and John?

Makov: "Honestly, we do not exist long enough for that to happen."

Are you also feeling that rock 'n' roll is making a comeback?

Bracha: "We are the comeback. We call ourselves 'New Old School'. Actually the rock in the country has pretty much sunk lately, and that's fine with me, everything is good, there is the pop that is very developed here and is at a very high level relative to what it was until today. I'm updated through my little daughter. We're actually very clean and innocent in our awakening project, it's a meeting of musicians who come to play. We did not know what it led to. We wanted to create and enjoy the way. The project created itself, it's rock 'n' roll, our".

Makov: "When I called Shlomi it came from a place I wanted to do rock 'n' roll. I missed it and it's something that is less heard in the immediate environment, probably here in Israel, even if there are some very successful flag bearers. I was in a trance for many years, I used machines and machines, "It's good for me."

Danny, you have a distinguished past as a drummer in performances and albums of bands and artists - Directed Sound, Siam, Revenge of the Tractor, Berry Sakharof, you are valued in the music industry. But to the general public you are the least known side of the triangle, and in recent years you have been simultaneously engaged in interior design and architecture. Do you have a feeling of missing out on the world of music? Are you missing the publicity?

Makov: "Absolutely not. I'm not the right person to ask him that. I do not lack publicity. I want to enjoy. Over the years I may have felt a kind of exhaustion. At first I was there with the revenge of the tractor, then I played a good few years with Berry Sakharof, I did a lot of albums, and then I went into the electronic world. I played at parties all over the world and also with a seven-year-old band in 'Anaphase.' Not financially, I want it for the soul. "

How did you go through the difficult period of the corona?

Contact: "I did a lot of yard performances. We opened a new area of happening and activity. It was very educating for me, because you see the people right at eye level, close to you. There is no sound, lighting and stage. There is direct direct. You have to collect them for you. "Working with them, seeing it happen all the time. It was an important lesson in communication."

Bracha: "I decided to take my acoustic guitar and go out to shows, even in the yards, to sing songs I've written throughout my career, for the first time. And it was amazing, it was a crazy school for me. I remember the first show where I was shaking. I'm in place today. "Before the corona, because I received a really big gift - to stand in front of an audience and tell my story. In fact, Mishina's songs have a lot of stories that are from my life, and as soon as they receive the acoustic accompaniment, the text pops out."

Give an example of such a song by Mishina that you wrote about your life and its meaning became clear to the audience at performances in Corona.

"I had a very difficult time in life where I lived in a kind of split personality. On the outside I was cool and happy, and on the inside I went through an introverted and difficult time. That was before Mishna got on the track and I didn't find myself. In the song 'On the way to the sea' "When you say, 'Everyone has a hidden madman, who is revealed and sometimes beaten, in your world I am a prisoner, and in my world who cares,' you suddenly realize that the text in its silence gets its depth through the writer of the song."

Makov: "I was looking to freshen up a bit from performances. It also seemed to me Eran. We discovered the beach. The rock 'n' roll of the sea. Big time."

And what have you learned from the last year and a half?

Create: "Re-evaluate what we do."

Bracha: "Nothing is certain in this life. I think Corona is a new society that you have to learn to live with from now on. You can't really plan for the future. You have to be dynamic and open all the time."

Static and Ben El: "It is perfectly legitimate that we do not protest in our music"

And in the quiet background of the Corona days, the distortions of your new project have been created.

Zur: "That's it, it also allowed us some industrial quiet. We were in the studio right in the first closure towards the closing of everything. That's where we started. There was a lot of quiet around, in that you did not run from there to shows or anywhere. It was such a focus. It contributed." .

Makov: "And a lot of peace of mind, less agendas."

What did you think about the fact that when Caspi canceled last week all the shows he planned to hold in the country this month, following the outline of the green sign, and announced that he would not perform until all restrictions were removed?

Makov: "I performed last week with Arik Sinai, and the guitarist there is Yair Michaeli who is also Matti's guitarist. They talked to Matti on the phone on the way to the performance. And he received dozens of messages from him and his wife. Matti is probably an extreme on an irrational level. It will only hurt him."

Tzur: "Recently I got to go through some songs by Matti Caspi, for a project in memory of Natan Zach. I admire this person. If anyone has opened the matter of the complex harmony in this country it is. "

Bracha: "Mishina hosted Caspi in Caesarea once, and I was really excited to play next to him. This person is a musician at levels that are hard for us to describe. I think he is a very special person. He is such a mysterious type, a bit quiet. And very funny. And I think if he decided the His decision - I respect him. "

Caspi used harsh words. He said: "I will not cooperate with dictatorship and fascism."

Bracha: "I think my money was snatched here from the population. Anyway, I think it is a cultural iron-clad asset to the state. The state should have preserved it, as there is the Hall of Fame in the United States."

Create: "There should be a square when money."

There is a gap between his musical genius and very extreme views in the context of the corona. He claims, for example, that corona is a "completely normal flu."

Zur: "We have seen in our world people who have fallen ill and it has hit very hard. I personally do not underestimate the severity of this disease. On the other hand, as Shlomi said, it is quite a long time and it is not going to go away, so one has to learn to live with it. It".

And what do you think about the Noga Erez affair and the BDS?

Bracha: "Listen, a young artist needs to know how to conduct himself in front of the media. It's a job. It's a very big school, what you say and what you do not say. Sometimes in what you do not say, through your art you wrap a larger audience, His through your music. Jacko Eisenberg, who is now in 'Big Brother,' said one sentence that ruined his life. If he had not said that sentence, I think his life would have looked different today. I think Noga Erez's music speaks "For herself. She is a great artist and she opens doors for many others to come."

Your previous founding collaboration was when Shlomi and Danny arranged Eran's huge hit, "Nights of a Full Moon."

Eran said that this is his song that is closest to realized love.

Do you prefer to write about disappointed love or realized love?

Zur: "In a writing class I teach I teach about love songs. I talk in class about having two towers. There is the tower of disappointed and missing love. Realized, where Paul McCartney's song 'Silly Love Songs' is, and he talks about it and asks what's wrong with that. In this tower is also Stevie Wonder's song I just called to say I love you. "What huge hits there are. A song of realized love that people can dedicate to each other, wow, that's a very big challenge. It's true that in my songs, 'Nights of a Full Moon' is the closest thing to a place of realized love, even though there is this caveat that is basically imaginary."

And in what tower of songs is the band Tripoli?

Bracha: "We are in the tower of real life. We are already old foxes, running around the city at night, drinking our alcohol. We used to be lions. Today we are wolves. Now the young are the lions. But we are dangerous, we are wolves."

Zur: "I just want to sharpen something. The fact that the three of us wrote together - it's not that the songs are impersonal. Obviously they have personal elements. But it's not a love song I write for some character in my head. There are three here so the songs are more about stories from the three of us "Or of friends or things we've heard. It gives it a different tone from our personal songs."

Last month marked the 50th anniversary of the death of Jim Morrison, and also the 10th anniversary of the death of Amy Winehouse, two members of the 27th Club. Was there a stage in your youth when you wanted to die at the age of 27 and become legends?

Zur (laughs): "We can no longer be in the double club."

Bracha: "It's no longer the sexy double club. You've been through the thirties - that's it, you're no longer considered."

Next year two of you - Shlomi and Danny - are sixty years old. How are you with age and thoughts of death?

Bracha: "The truth is I do not relate to age so much. I think I am a child in my soul. I do what I love and what I believe in. The physicality really changes, but the finger still works well when she presses the recording key on the computer, and the guitar still plays "So everything's fine. It's a personal matter of constantly evolving, producing new things. Creativity solves everything. Search, curiosity and movement."

Zur: "It also motivates. The issue of awakening that Shlomi talked about is important to us as artists in that you want to move forward. You always want to create the new thing. What people want and do not want from you is one thing. But your drive forward is "The system of life and what gives them taste and reason. In that sense, the thing we do is such a driver. It motivates."

What do you regret?

Blessing: "Until all life you learn to come to terms with life and accept everything, embrace evil and frustration and contain it, do you want us to express remorse?".

Zur: "Shlomi said right. When you reach these ages there is an acceptance of your past, of decisions you made and inquiries you made, that may have felt like a wrong turn but then you realize that if you did not turn like that you would not be who you are today. You are built from your mistakes."

Makov: "I got up and went to England for the second time. I think if I had not done it, I might have sat here today and expressed regret that I did not try to the end. But I got up and did it. "Like a bank clerk telling him what to do, and I cut to England to try my luck again. I almost succeeded in fulfilling my dream with the band TC Hug. At the height of our success we warmed up Paul Waller with a big park show.

דני מי המתופף האהוב עלייך, ערן מי הבסיסט האהוב עלייך, ושלומי מי הגיטריסט האהוב עלייך?

מקוב: "זה תלוי. אם היית שואל אותי בגיל 27, לפני ההתאבדות, מי המתופף האהוב עליי, הייתי אומר איאן פייס מדיפ פרפל. היה אז ריב מי יותר טוב, הוא או ג'ון בונהם, ואמרתי שאיאן. היום בדיעבד אני מחזיק מג'ון בונהם פורץ דרך הרבה יותר גדול".

ברכה: "זו בחירה קצת קלישאתית, אבל ג'ימי הנדריקס. אני אוהב אותו, גם בגלל המוזיקליות שלו דווקא, כי מאחורי הרעש שהוא מייצר יש מלודיות מאוד מרגשות, וגם כי יש לו גם סאונד של שיחרור ופראות שמאוד השפיעו עליי. מאוד הושפעתי באייטיז מרוברט סמית'".

צור: "אני יכול למנות את הבסיסטים הגדולים ביותר שלי, שמנגנים רק בס - ג'אקו פסטוריוס, מיק קארן מלהקת ג'אפן וטוני לוין. אבל אני אוהב גם את הבסיסטים שכותבים שירים ושרים כמו מקרטני, רוג'ר ווטרס וסטינג".

איזה סופרגרופ אתם הכי אוהבים?

Zur: "That term, supergroup, comes more from the outside. We do not feel supergroup. You can not say 'let's become supergroup,' there is something paralyzing about it."

Bracha: "We also did not plan to set up a supergroup. We are more in the business of a supermarket."
