[3][4][5] Eatliz was formed in 2001 by guitarist Guy Ben Shetrit, who was also a member of the punk rock band Infectzia, as a side project.
He was joined by singer Yael Kraus, and together they wrote music that consisted mostly of complicated guitar tunes and prominent keyboard melodies.
New members vocalist Talia Kliger, guitarist Uzi Finerman, bassist Adam Shefflan and keyboardist Yuval Samo joined the group over time.
However, Samo left quickly after joining to study music in the United States and was replaced with Finerman's partner at the time, Maya Dunitz, who, along with Kliger, alternated as lead vocalist and also played keyboard.
The band started performing across Israel, attracting a lot of attention in the Israeli indie rock scene due to Dunitz' stage presence and charisma.
Eatliz also gained attention by hosting many guests from the Israeli alternative and indie scenes in their live shows, as well as playing covers of such artists as Soundgarden, Queen, The Beatles, and Björk.
In 2005, the band was joined by an additional guitarist - indie/folk artist Amit Erez, after which lead singer Sarit Shazky left the group, and was replaced by Lee Triffon.
Soon after, the single also received a massive radio airplay in Germany, which led to an invitation for the band to play at the Popkomm Festival in Berlin.
"Attractive" was chosen to promote the luxury MTV Artists Spot that was made on the band, and also won the Ourstage.com grand prize, through an audience vote.
This followed an Israeli tour in June 2010, playing in cities including Netanya, Petah Tikva, Jerusalem, Modi'in, and Tel Aviv.
[9] On October 20, 2010, the band released their first single off the new album, "Berlin", for free download on their official website and Myspace page.
The inspiration for the song was the Tel Aviv night life scene, and it provided a critique of the nocturnal urban experience through the screen of alcohol.
The band then embarked on a North American tour in the months of March and April 2011, with an appearance at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, as well as opening for Consider The Source.
