Yonatan Gat is a guitarist from Tel Aviv, and I saw him live at a rainy event on a farm yesterday, and he’s the REAL DEAL — just playing with a trio, and 90% instrumental.
So many sounds from his guitar — ferocious surf punk and psychedelia that’s so musical it’s bursting and wonderfully exploratory.
His drummer — with a tiny kit — did so much exciting rhythm work, it was transportive.
All their equipment is vintage circa mid-60s — including the amps and the drums.
– Daniel Housman is a screenwriter living in Los Angeles.
