Issac is a very talented graphic designer and at the time he worked with me and my team on the redesign of Cupid.

Beyond the fact he has exceptional creative and design skills, Issac is also a great guitar player in a band called Mad Bliss. During his visit to Spark’s Beverly Hills office, he gave me with MadBliss’s first EP, “Karen’s Molested Apple”, which I immediately got hooked to. Lately MadBliss released their full LP, “Heaven Through Old Eyes”, which to me positions them as a leading Israeli indie rock band.

I just found out they will be performing live in Tel Aviv on Oct 12. Too bad I am no longer in Israel, but I hope that Issac and his friends will find the time and energy to follow other successful Israeli bands, such as Rockfour, and go on a world (or at least a US) tour. Their music should not be ‘one of Israel’s best kept secrets’…

Many of the bands songs can be found on their myspace page and on their Sonicbids page.

And here’s a video clip of “Changes”, their latest radio hit (according to Isaac).

Turn on the volume and enjoy.
