# Beer7

Beer7 (Hebrew: ביר7) is a Ska punk band from Be'er Sheva, Israel. The name is a shortened version of the city's name – Sheva is Hebrew for seven. The band was formed in 2001, and recorded its first album in 2003. The album Skandal was distributed by an indie label named "Ra records". It was sold out and later uploaded online.

Beer7 performs all over Israel, in punk festivals, clubs and pubs. They performed with Israeli bands Useless ID, Sartan HaShad, Kuku Bloff veHayetushim, Beat 69, and the Australian band Yidcore.

## Beer7 in the Israeli punk scene

There were few women on stage in Israeli punk rock shows before Beer7's Dafna Arad. This started a whole girl scene that includes bands like Va'adat Kishut, Phoney Pony, and CUBAN B, all girl-fronted.
