The trio is inspired by 70's glam-rock and punk, garage, country and post-punk. Songs from their latest release What's Your Damage? (released in 2019, on Baby Satan Records) touch on subjects as the inside thoughts of a serial killer, the human flaws and more intimate narratives like how comforting drugs comedowns can be, unrequited love and the weather. In 2019 Jealous played over 70 shows across Europe, including numerous support shows for bands as Amyl And The Sniffers, Viagra Boys, The Black Lips and Surfbort. The trio; Paz, Adi and Uri have met years ago around Tel Aviv's underground scene. In the last few years they have been living in Berlin and been taking an active part of the local music scene. Each one of them has been involved in several music projects, Paz and Adi are running their own record label Baby Satan Records. https://schedule.sxsw.com/2020/artists/2021680 This event is supported by:
