The Yellow Dogs Band (Tehran IRAN)
The journey and story of “The Yellow Dogs Band” is definitely one worth keeping an eye on…not only can one be jailed and accused of satan worship for listening to this underground “devilish” rock music in their country but a major revolution has been slowly unfolding in IRAN over the past few months.
not to make light of any situation, but perhaps those extreme laws result in some really awesome bands? any rock band that sucks in IRAN dies quickly (i assume) due to lack of audience…after all it’s not worth going to jail and being flogged because you listen/play in a suckass band.
