Source-derived summary

Haivrit (Hebrew: העברית) are an Israeli rock band, composed of Oron Sherri (vocals, guitar, bass), Eran Peretz (vocals, bass, guitar) and Amit Arbel (drums, keyboards). They started out in 2004 as "The Blush" and later changed their name to "Blush and Lure". They mostly sang in English and played shows in clubs in Tel Aviv and also in Europe. Notably, they played in a Pavement tribute show in Tel Aviv in 2004 and recorded a Hebrew version of "Waiting for the Miracle" for an unofficial Leonard Cohen tribute collection, which wasn't published due to copyright restrictions. They also recorded a complete album of songs in English, but didn't release it.

In late 2005 they changed their name to Haivrit ("The Hebrew") and started performing completely new songs in Hebrew only.

Their debut album Tel Aviv Glamour Life (חיי הזהר של תל־אביב) was released in December 2006 to good reviews and spawned the radio hits "Come" (בוא), "Class Party" (מסיבת כיתה) and "Everything Was Mixed Up" (הכל הסתבך). The band was nominated as "Breakthrough of the Year" at the 2007 Music 24 awards.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2004, 2005, 2006, 2007—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2005. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Haivrit, Israeli and rock.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Haivrit” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Haivrit, Israeli and rock provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5639780. VIAF identifies the subject as 141261671. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
