Concert: The Mind Church

The Mind Church – A Night of Trance and Psychedelic Rock

The successful, genre-crossing lineup of Knesiyat Hasechel and Eitan Reiter returns for a wild and especially exciting third edition, with special guests Rockfour and Maya Belsitzman, and a lineup including Astrix, Bliss, Noam Leshem, T-Puse Hybrid, and an opening performance by Sultana.

The connection between Knesiyat Hasechel and artist and creator Eitan Reiter was formed at the Nova memorial festival and gave rise to a powerful collaboration, incredible chemistry, and a desire to continue working together. This also led to a joint single—a special version of “The Song from the Garden.” Knesiyat Hasechel, one of the leading bands in Israeli rock, founded in Sderot in the 1990s, has a special connection with the Nova community and with the Gaza border region.

“This journey was born through our encounters with the Nova community and reached its peak at the Nova memorial festival in Hayarkon Park,” says Yoram Hazan. “That was where the musical connection between us and Eitan Reiter was formed. There was incredible chemistry between us, and we felt that our songs were taking on new meaning. We let Eitan produce and rearrange our songs, and that gave rise to this evening.”

All the hits—“Maya Has a Gun,” “Hands Up,” “The Song from the Garden,” “Kana Wahada,” and many others—have received new versions. Eitan Reiter is one half of the duo LOUD and one of the leading figures in the international trance and electronic music scene. The new arrangements of the familiar songs take them to new realms.
