About the Band

Electric Simcha: Electric Simcha infuses old-world Hasidic melodies with the best of West Philadelphia’s burgeoning underground rock scene to create a new, raucous, Eastern European tinged, violent party sound. Wordless devotional melodies, called nigunim, that Hasidim sing over and over to stoke the holy spark of spiritual enlightenment within, bounce around from voice to trombone to guitar, interspersed by wild high-energy solos and band riffs. A wedding set that could easily be heard on any Orthodox or Hasidic bandstand is transformed by a loud and fast, hardcore punk aesthetic influenced by bands like Black Flag and the Minutemen. Electric Simcha grabs hold of that holy spark and turns it into a continuous explosion of raw musical energy.
