Naarot Reines (Hebrew: נערות ריינס), Reines Girls in English, is an Israeli rock band, founded by Roei Freilich and Guy Goldstein in 2004. The band plays basic rock, influenced by the end of the 1970s romantic punk. Despite its name, all its members are male.[1]
History edit
The bassist Guy Goldstein and the lead vocalist Roei Freilich were playing together in the 1990s in their birth town, Haifa. They founded the band, Naarot Reines, in 2004 in Tel Aviv. At the beginning, Miki Coklewitch joined the band as the drummer, and in 2006 he was replaced by Nir Wetstein. The name of the band was taken from the side street Reines, that was known as the street, where men took their "ugly" girlfriends (girls in Hebrew - Naarot) to avoid being seen with them.[2]
