Teapacks

Teapacks (also known as Tipex) is an Israeli band that formed in 1988 as HaHotzaa La'Poal (Hebrew:, The Execution) in the southern Israeli city of Sderot.Originally the band was named after the correction fluid Tipp-Ex, but in 1995 the transliteration was changed so as not to infringe on the well-known brand, while keeping the pronunciation and spelling in Hebrew the same. Each member of the band has a diverse background, and as a whole the band has Tunisian, Moroccan, Bulgarian, Romanian, Syrian, Polish, Russian, and Yemenite heritage.Teapacks gained popularity by bringing forward traditional Israeli-oriental music combined with light humorous hints.The band leader, Kobi Oz, is well known within Israel for his eccentric looks and style.The band has released eight albums plus a greatest hits collection, which collectively have sold over 300,000 copies.Teapacks has been chosen “Band of the Year” numerous times by Israeli radio stations.
