Eifo HaYeled ( Hebrew: איפה הילד, (lit: Where's the Kid)) is an Israeli alternative rock band. [1]
The band was formed in 1986 in Givat Brenner and had a major influence on Israeli rock in the 1990s. [2] It released its debut album, "Sugar Time", in 1993. [3] According to Hemi Rudner, the band's first drummer, Omer Degani, was always late for rehearsals. At a certain point, they would start saying in English "Where's the kid?" It became a kind of standing joke which led to the name of the band Eifo Hayeled (Where's the Kid, in Hebrew). [4]
Eifo HaYeled broke up in 1998 and reunited in 2009. [5]
Appearing at a rally in Tel Aviv in support of residents of southern Israel in 2014, lead singer Hemi Rudner changed the words of one of the band's hit songs, "Does Anyone Hear Me?" to "Does anyone hear you?" [6]
In June 2023, Eifo HaYeled opened the performance of the hard rock band Guns N' Roses for a crowd of over 60,000 at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park. [7]
