Sorry, the content I submitted was supposed to be in several paragraphs, but the comment box doesn't recognize line breaks. Still, I hope I get to be a contributor. Thank you for your time! :D

Being successful in music is not unchartered territory for Rendezvous. The band, formed by Itai Simon and Hagai Izenberg, has earned its place in the history of underground music after it launched its first EP five years ago. Thousands of song downloads and fans later, Rendezvous is ready to release its debut album. In 2004, Rendezvous released their first song, a studio project which was recorded while Izenberg and Simon were studying music. They both came up with a novel approach to both jazz and electronica, experimenting with various grooves and beats, with each attempt leading to another new idea. These ideas soon became their very first EP, which music fans have been raving about ever since it came out on the Internet. Because of their impressive achievement, Rendezvous started working on their debut album. David Bascombe, a highly-acclaimed producer/ mixer who has worked with the likes of Skunk Anansie, Moby, Suede, Natalie Imbruglia, and Bon Jovi, is now working with Rendezvous for their first album. Itai Simon and Hagai Izenberg have always been musicians even before they had their lucky break five years ago. Simon, during his childhood, has always had a keen interest in music. Pink Floyd's psychedelic music from the sixties made quite an impression on Simon, evident in Rendezvous' songs. Simon has become a jack-of-all-trades in music: producer, bassist, and arranger for other music artists. He is also teaching music, sharing what he has learned through his years of being a talented musician. Izenberg loves playing the piano, even when he was still seven. Aside from synth, piano, and organs, Izenberg also specializes in computers. He has been in the Internet and software business for more than a decade now. Rendezvous' music is a myriad of genres: pop, electronica, acid jazz, experimental, instrumental, and what-have-you. One thing's for sure: they know exactly what they're doing.
