Mr. Maps - Nice Fights

Too High

Joy & Pain

After serving their countries from Tel Aviv and Beirut, The Shabbab met over a pita zaatar one evening in 2011. Shuki, a starving chef from Israel, was attracted to the familiar smells of home from Said's Lebanese bakery. Since then they vowed to make music together.

Unlike the never-ending conflict of their motherlands, they came to realise they're two fish of the same bowl. As months went by they spent endless hours cooking, eating, drinking, talking and drinking some more. Often they found themselves armed with instruments around a bon fire at random house parties in Brunswick. From these moments songs sprouted.

Lyrically strong, their music challenges the same old propaganda.
"The blood test says we can't be friends. We belong to different sides of the fence."
The Shabbab hope to drown these ideals that say we can't live together because of where we were born. We look the same. We eat the same. We talk the same. We swear the same. Let's live together!

Over 2012, The Shabbab recorded a full length album (expected for release in 2013) in lounge-rooms and cold backyard sheds, engineered by Vito of Headrush Productions. After scoring their first shows they realised they needed a bass player, and so Vito became the third brother of The Shabbab.

Finally, after taking hours to write this fucking biography, all The Shabbab are trying to say is "we hope to see you at a show in 2013 and enjoy the upcoming releases."

YALLA, SHABBAB!
