I don't have to support Bibi, his government or any other conservative organization in order to come and play music in Israel, for people who want to come and listen to music. I think it's b******t to ask me to boycott Israel and not America. It's interesting that some people choose to pick on Israel and isolate her... I was invited to perform and that's why I'll perform, as long as the border is open and I'm welcomed. I'm just coming to play.

Partisans present some of the most refreshing music I've heard in a long while, uncompromising, very well written and very well played. It demands serious attention.

It's heartening to hear music that looks to find its own particular place.
