Midnight Peacocks is a collective of musicians from many different styles and backgrounds, brought together by composer, lyricist, vocalist and bass player Eitan Radoshinski at the summer of 2004 in their hometown of Tel Aviv Israel.
Together they play music Radoshinski likes to define as "circus-core" – a crossover between hard-core, oriental and cabaret.
Radoshinski addresses in his music and lyrics issues such as obsession and fanaticism, which he believes to be at the core of the world's disharmony, in a style soaked with the schizophrenia and jolly Sinicism that come with the territory of life at the geographical point of friction between east and west.
The song opening Midnight Peacocks' debut album "IT'S A BRUTAL MACHINE" is titled "Just The Two Of Us" and tells the romantic story of a profit guided by his belief to go to the most morally corrupt city (a.k.a NYC) and raze decadence to a new meaning (by becoming a transvestite prostitute, how else?) in order to serve as a human mark for the punishing bomb when it falls.

Why this name?
Midnight Peacocks grew from two bands led by Radoshinski. Plastic Peacocks and Midnight Fish. Plastic Peacocks was a hard core power trio and Midnight Fish was an Impro group with crosovers of Jazz, Hard core and oriental. Midnight Peacocks' music is fully structured but always keeps space for improvisation on the live shows
Do you play live?
Radoshinski believes that any meeting between musicians on stage and a crowd is unique and can only be the same once. For that reason he tries to bring a different experience in each and every live show rather than duplicating a show in front of different crowds. This idea is kept by playing more or less the same materials, but with different musicians, instruments and vibes on every live show, giving constant new meanings to the recorded album. Midnight Peacocks played their music in many different locations ranging from an enchant cave in Jerusalem, were they played with 12 musicians on stage including violins, Darbuka drums, saxophone, and a performance artist, to clubs in Berlin were they performed with just Radoshinski on bass guitar and Haggay Fershtman on drums, and possibly almost any combination in between.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet is what makes it possible for musicians from the farthest parts of the universe to make their music exist.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
yes please...
