01.02.2008: Tel-Aviv Live Show announced!

Once again we are preparing a conspiracy against pop music...
The production team, A&M Releases, has provided the details for next Tel-Aviv perfomance.
Desert is celebrating the arrival of new drummer, and trust us, this guy is gonna show off, so be sure to watch it!
This is going to be something you probably didn't expect - a real Power Metal celebration, the whole night of lightning-fast riffs and real, clean power metal sound!

We weren't sure Desert would handle this amount of power by itself, so reinforcement is ready - our long-time friends, The Afterlife and Altharya will be there too!

The show is scheduled for March 29th,Saturday.
Gates open at 20:00 sharp, don't be late, as A&M is known for it's precision timing - we'll start the show with no delays, as we always do.
Entrance fee is as small as 50 NIS, so you can afford to get more beers, more merchendise, more fun!

So remember - March 29'th, 20:00. Unleash the Power!
