I've noticed a few things that might need to be corrected, but I don't know how, for example: Eli Avramov/Abramov's name is spelled inconsistently throughout the article (I don't know which is the correct spelling -- I think both might be correct, but there should be some consistency).
There's also the sentence "They came up with the band name one fateful day on a 3-day acid trip when reading a newspaper article humor and social stigmatism in European "cliques", calling themselves HaClique." which is worded awkwardly, and I don't know how to fix that.
I've rewritten the sentence, and incorporated it better within the article which I'm currently in the process of redoing almost from the ground up. Started in May of this year with their discography and realised how bad I'd done the rest of this article back in the day with Google Translate and more than lackluster command of communicative English.
The problem with Abramov/Avramov's name is that the Hebrew letter "ב" [Bet] can be transliterated as both "Be" and "Ve", in different contexts, and I can't decide on which one is the right choice. It's the same with the "א" [Aleph] in Oved/Ovad (Efrat). Though in English the letters A and E can sort of be interchanged, a-la Æ, so there's more precedent for that. I really don't know anything like enough about Hebrew language logic at the moment to make definitive decisions, so I represent both. It doesn't help that when and wherever I have seen their names transliterated in more official places, there's been both. To be honest I'd rather leave this to a native speaker of Hebrew who has enough knowledge and confidence in romanization of their language, and then learn from the process.
