It has occurred a few times that after mentioning our group's name some people have asked: "Gold...what?" Well, now's the time to set it straight: "Goldoolins" is simply a combination of our lastnames. that's all there is to it.

Some History:
E.T. and O.D. were in a band called "Lord Flimnap" when they were in high school. This was around 1988-89. The band recorded an album which was released and distributed worldwide by a German record label named "SPM". After the album's release the band members had to be drafted to the army fora 3 year period, thus putting an end to the band. When their military service was finally over they returned to making music and began to perform regularly at the Tel Aviv folk club. Back then they were simply known as"The Big Boys". They also played at other venues such as "Mike's Place" in Jerusalem and the Kibbutz Tzora Club and a bit later on they went to Canada where they busked the streets of Vancouver, played on cross-country trains entertaining the passengers and eventually landed a 3 week gig at a motel bar way up north in the Yukon territory (near Alaska). After returning to Israel eachone went his own way, O.D. continued writing his songs and also writing music for the youth theatre in Be'er Sheva and E.T. continued writing his and also graduating from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem where he received his BA degree in Sociology and Anthropology.

Tadlik is a classically trained singer, a graduate of the "Rubin" Academy of Music in Jerusalem, who also studied at the Hague Conservatory in the Netherlands specializing in Early music, Renaissance and Baroque. Other than that she also happens to be E.T.'s wife, thus making Goldoolins somewhat of a small family- a married couple (E.T. and Tadlik), two childhood friends (O.D. and E.T.) and two relatively new friends (Tadlik and O.D.)- sounds complicated? but then again, all families are, right? 

Following the release of E.T.'s solo album in 2015 the two original "Big Boys" got back together, adding Tadlik and renaming themselves "Goldoolins". 

In their first six months as a group, Goldoolins have performed all over their native Israel, in diverse venues such as folk clubs, pubs, student clubs and house concerts. They have also appeared on Israeli radio twice. In all these places they have enchanted their audiences with their three voice harmonies and original compositions, most of which are featured on their debut album, which was recorded during the summer of 2016 and is scheduled for release in October 2016 by the Israeli record label "Earsay"( which is also Rockfour's label). 

In October 2016 Goldoolins were invited to perform at the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool, England, the club where the Beatles had started out. This performance marks the beginning of Goldoolins' mini U.K. tour, their first tour abroad. 

The Future: 
Stay tuned for some more original Goldoolin music as right after their return home from the British tour, Goldoolins will start recording their second album, which just like their first, will feature them overdubbing themselves on all the instruments (including guitars, piano, mandolin, harmonica, harpsichord, double bass, percussion, zither, kalimba, accordion, harmonium and glockenspiel) as well as a few guest appearances by some of their musician friends.
