Israeli broadcaster IBA selected the group Izabo to represent them in the 2012 edition of Europe’s Favourite TV Show. The alternative band will perform the Ran Shem-Tov and Shiri Hadar song Time in Baku.
Izabo are best described as a brilliant, action packed combination of Psychadelic Rock, Disco, Punk flavoured with Arabic spices. They secured a spot as one of Israel’s most successful alternative pop bands with the 2003 release of their debut album The Fun Makers.

From there Izabo went on to sign with Sony BMG, and in the same year released “The Morning Hero EP” in the UK and began to take their funky sounds to an international audience. In January of 2005 The Fun Makers was released in the Benelux countries via the label Rough Trade NL, and in 2006 it was released in France via Roymusic/ Discograph. Since 2006, Izabo have been busy touring Europe constantly and showcasing their catchy disco beats at a variety of festivals including Trans Musicales, The Paleo Festival, and Eurosonic.

Their second album Superlight was released in Israel and France in 2008 with Roymusic/ Discograph to rave reviews. In October 2011 Izabo signed with the English Label 100% Records, who signed artists among Gossip, Moby and Placebo. Izabo’s first three Track EP has been released in the United Kingdom this July, with their brand new album due to be released by the end of the year, in the UK, Europe & Israel.

Lyrics of Time

Time time don’t let me down
You’re the man in my play ground
What you say i will obey, night and day


Feel free to turn me on
Feel free to change my song
I will count and you will go on
Sing my song I say


זמן-מן תן לי רק סימן מן ,תן לי את הזמן
למה לוחץ עלי – תישן
you got to give me more time
זמן- מן למה לא תישן- שן תגיד לי כמה זמן
למה להיות שחור לבן


Time time could you be mine
I will feed you songs and wine
I ‚ll make you lazy , I’ll make you late
Wait wait wait

Wait wait we two are one
But you always take the lead
I lay down and you just run
Mind your speed i say

זמן-מן תן לי רק סימן מן ,תן לי את הזמן
למה לוחץ עלי – תישן
זמן- מן למה לא תישן- שן תגיד לי כמה זמן
למה להיות שחור לבן


זמן-מן תן לי רק סימן מן ,תן לי את הזמן
למה לוחץ עלי – תישן
זמן- מן למה לא תישן- שן תגיד לי כמה זמן
למה להיות שחור לבן

Time time don’t let me down
