Zikney Tzfat (זקני צפת, “Elders of Safed” in Hebrew) is a grunge / punk band formed in Tel Aviv, Israel around 1990 by Maor Cohen, Yoni Ben Tovim, Oren Lutenberg, and Adiel Portugaly (who was later replaced by Rea Mochiach). They were known for their wild and chaotic concerts and their extreme lyrics filled with absurdist and childish humour.

In the period of their first album (simply titled Zikney Tzfat) their music was very noisy and influenced by American grunge bands like Killdozer and Butthole Surfers. Around 1994 the band members changed and the band released another album (Zikney Tzfat 2), which was softer and more melodic. In 1995 they released two more albums (Ten Li Shlager and Ten Li Shlager 2) which were more "Low Fi" in their nature and were musically more reminiscent of the first album. The band split in 1996.

In March 2014, a film was made about Zikney Tzfat's early years ("HaAlbomim"), which brought them all together again. The band recorded Lo Hayu Dvarim Meolam, a new rock album with a rough uninhibited sound and approach. Read more on Last.fm.
