In 1971, after his release from the Israel Defense Forces, Sanderson played with the Schnitzelim Band. He recorded "The Left-handed Octopus" with the Egyptian-born musician Zouzou Moussa and the orchestra of Israel Radio Arabic. After a short bout in London, Sanderson returned to Israel and founded a new band, Kaveret, with Alon Oleartchik, Ephraim Shamir, Gidi Government, Meir Fenigstein and, later on, Yoni Rechter and Yitzhak Klepter.
The band broke up in 1976.
Sanderson took a break from music to write a nonsense book (Nekhira Pumbit, נחירה פומבית, A Public Snore), musically produced a stand-up/music show for Yehonatan Geffen. He went on to create another band called Gazoz, which produced two albums, and Doda (דודה, Aunt), which had a heavier rock sound.
Sanderson rebounded with his first solo album and solo show, and went on to create two other albums and solo shows in 1984 and 1987. The Israeli audience, enamored with Sanderson"s blend of humor, jokes and lighthearted music, was willing to accept Sanderson"s brilliant music only when masqueraded as "simple popular", but was much less enthusiastic about more earnest musical attempts.
Sanderson also released several compilation albums and participated in two albums commemorating reunion shows of Kaveret.
In 2007, famed Israeli punk rock singer and bassist Yotam Ben-Horin (of Useless Idaho) started touring with Sanderson as a touring bassist. In 2009, Ben-Horin sang on one of the new tracks on Sanderson"s upcoming album Lo Yafrid Davar (לא יפריד דבר, "Nothing Will Separate ").
He has since also become a session bassist for Sanderson and an official member of his solo band.
