“The newest mind expanding band to emerge from our city of Seattle is psychedelic rock trio, MASZER. My first MASZER experience was but a few weeks ago, when I watched the music video for their song, "Roar". I was on board from the start."

MASZER guitarist, Tomer-David Rapaport (aka STITCX), arrived in the U.S. from Tel Aviv ten years ago, and toured relentlessly with his band Mother’s Anger (Dionysus Records). In the last three years, Rapaport, along with drummer Joseph Braley (who joined Mother’s Anger in 2007), took on world tours, opening for Black Sabbath and The Pixies, as well as playing major festivals and shows all over the world with their subsequent band, Reignwolf. Inspired by those years of musical excitement, David spent six months in his studio writing over a hundred songs in preparation for the next musical adventure. Teaming up with longtime friend and Seattle-based singer, Kate Blackstock, the trio dubbed themselves MASZER, meaning 'tithing' in Hebrew (מְעַשֵּׂר).
