Ayal is celebrating 36 years on this planet and 5 years in SF/US.
On this special birthday show he will be pulling a double duty-
first with 'My Second Surprise', then with The Northerlies.

'My Second Surprise' is Israeli-born Ayal Nistor's outfit.
After recording debut album 'Avoidance As A Way Of Life', Ayal moved to Brighton UK and released it (2005) under his own 'StagFrenzy Recordings' imprint. The album was signed to EMI Music Publishing and debut music video 'perfect cure' won the Israeli Grammy and played on MTV Europe. It was time to move on, this time to the States, where he spent part of his childhood.
After playing SXSW 2007 he settled in San Francisco and started recording his second album, on which he's doing pretty much everything (except for strings & horns). This sophomore effort, titled 'Time To Move On', was mixed in Tucson AZ by Craig Schumacher (Calexico, Iron & Wine) and self-released in 2009.
