Soap Kills

Soap Kills

Soapkills is an indie band based in Lebanon. The group was formed in October 1997 when Zeid Hamdan and Yasmin Hamdan, both born in Beirut in 1976 but not related, decided to explore and combine their interest in classical Arabic song and electronic music.

Currently a cult group in Lebanon, Soapkills gets inspiration both from classical Arabic song and music and from the new electro scene currently blossoming in the Middle East. The group performs sensual music that draws much of its inspiration from Arabic song. The band appears on several compilations, has recorded the albums "Bater" and "Cheftak", and has also performed in Paris, Berlin, Algeria, Congo, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Sydney.

The band was mentioned in "Time" in reference to Lebanon's music scene. [cite news |first=Andrew Lee |last=Butters |title=Postcard: Beirut |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1663834,00.html |work= Time |date=2007-09-20 |accessdate=2008-05-30 ]
