19 February : "Wise Ol' Man" single released

Wednesday, 2 March 2016    Moadon Hateatron Havana Music Club, Tel Aviv, Israel

set

Tuff Life Boogie / Venice with the Girls / Bury / Dedication Not Medication / First One Today / Wise Old Man / Auto-Chip 2014-2016 / Hittite Man / Quit iPhone / Pledge (with a girl from the audience doing the vocals...) // Wolf Kidult Man

Daniel Higgs:

Really excellent show, though a bit too short! 

No Eleni for some reason... Keyboards were up, MES doodled on them a tiny bit.

This was my second Fall show, first was Tel-Aviv 5 years ago. Enjoyed this one more - MES was lucid and sharp, the band was in great form, and the material they're playing these days is top notch. 

Crowd much smaller than last time, though, possibly due to the promotor who apparently didn't do much to get word out til the last minute...

(Sorry for the blurry pic, some girl grabbed the list and I had a split second to photo...)

Links on the forum, and thanks to Gal Bleiberg for the setlist.
