The opening as it read in October 6, 2023

Israeli band Vocalist Kobi Oz and guitarist Rami Yosifov (hidden behind Oz) performing on Students Day at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 21 May 1997 Teapacks (also known as Tipex ) ( ) is an Israeli band that formed in 1988 as HaHotzaa La'Poal (Hebrew: ההוצאה לפועל , The Execution ) in the southern Israeli city of Sderot . Originally the band was named after the correction fluid Tipp-Ex , but in 1995 the transliteration was changed so as not to infringe on the well-known brand, while keeping the pronunciation and spelling in Hebrew the same. Each member of the band has a diverse background, and as a whole the band has Tunisian, Moroccan, Bulgarian, Romanian, Syrian, Polish, Russian, and Yemenite heritage. Teapacks gained popularity by bringing forward traditional Israeli-oriental music combined with light humorous hints. The band leader , Kobi Oz , is well known within Israel for his eccentric looks and style. The band has released eight albums plus a greatest hits collection, which collectively have sold over 300,000 copies. Teapacks has been chosen “Band of the Year” numerous times by Israeli radio stations.
