They are the only Jewish Music band to play a concert in all 50 States. ==History== According to Solomon, in December 1985, Lenny and the band "rented the 39th Street Music studio in New York for two weeks from midnight to 8:00am as it was the only time slot they could afford." Their first album "Schlock Rock" - (Note: With a C) titled "Learning is Good" was released in January 1986. The original Shlock Rock band consisted of Lenny Solomon (keyboards, vocals), Yonah Lloyd (guitar), Gary Wallin (drums), Mark Skier (bass), Mark Infield (saxophone, keyboards, percussion), and Danny Block (saxophone, violin).〔 It has since gone on to include the "Jewish Rapper" Etan G, as well as Roy Weinberger on drums, Mo Shapiro on guitar and Rami Strosberg on saxophone. On tour, the band uses local musicians, except for Solomon and Etan G.〔 In March 2009, Shlock Rock released their 31st album “No Limits” online. It was offered in a pay-what-you-want format at a minimum download price of $1 for the twelve-song album. Customers who paid the retail price ($15), or more, also received the CD upon its release on December 2009. The album was recorded in Haworth, New Jersey. "I wrote twelve songs in four days from my house in Israel," Solomon stated, "I love these songs and want everyone to have them." The offer ran until March 28 (Passover of that year).〔(News ). shlockrock.com.〕 The band released its official video for "Another Door Opens" from the album in July.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shlock Rock No Limits – Another Door Opens – Official Video )〕 In 2011, the band released ''Shabbat in Liverpool'', "adapting Shabbat services to the tunes of Lennon and McCartney." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shlock Rock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
