Tragically, several members of the Iranian band Yellow Dogs were allegedly murdered by one of their former bandmates last night. The group was one of many groups featured in the Iranian documentary about underground music in their homeland, No One Knows About Persian Cats. This is very sad news.
Update: The killer apparently was from another band, involved in some petty dispute. Two of the killed were from Yellow Dogs, while another musician/friend also perished. Tough to escape the restrictive social atmosphere of Tehran to come to America and suffer such a fate.
