G-Nome Project is an American-Israeli livetronica group formed in Jerusalem in 2012.

History

The band was formed in November 2012 in Jerusalem. Guitarist Yakir Hyman and bassist Zechariah Reich grew up together in Teaneck, New Jersey, and played their first concert at Teaneck High School with Jon Shiffman of Steel Train.[1] Chemy Soibelman was the original drummer for the New York pop punk band The Groggers, performing on their debut album, There's No 'I' in Cherem. Hyman and Reich are both former members of the Israeli rock band Hamakor, with whom Soibelman currently plays.

In 2014, the band used Indiegogo to fund their first American tour, the ten-city Giving Tour, during which the band alternated nightly performances with charitable acts such as visiting nursing homes and volunteering at soup kitchens.[1]

They performed at the 2015 Great North Music and Arts Festival in Norridgewock, Maine, alongside Reggie Watts, Dan Deacon, and Joe Russo's Almost Dead.[2]

Musical style

G-Nome Project plays livetronica, a fusion of jam band-style live improvisation with electronica. The band has dubbed its style "Grilled Cheese Funk" in reference to their initial lo-fi sound, which they felt as having the same sizzle and pop of the grilled cheese sandwiches being cooked at served at outdoor music festivals. The band is primarily influenced by Phish and Disco Biscuits, as well as the Israeli psychedelic trance scene and American funk, jazz, and classic rock.[3]
