BAND

چی‌ میشد ما هم آرتیست میشدیم؟!

Everything is sacred

Oh yes!

I do owe Kayvan big time. For many things. Love him to death.

Jahanshah Jan:

Jaat vaghean kheili khaali bood! We went around saying this all night! Kayvan joret-o keshid; you owe him big time! It was one of those nights when it felt particularly great to be a part of the Iranian community in the Bay Area. Of course, there were Kiosk fans there tonight who had traveled from Seattle, Los Angeles, Orange County, etc. Jaaye hameh doostan khaali bood!

I could feel the energy

I could feel the energy all the way from Budapest!

Thanks Nazy Jan for reporting back. I've already gotten very nice feedback by email from people who were at the concert. Thank you and all the volunteers for making it happen with your hard work.

And thank you to Kiosk for rocking our world!

Two soldout shows, an unforgettable night!

Thanks Monda Jan, MPD, Oktaby, and Bayramali Jan.

Wasn't it an absolutely wonderful night?! Which was it, the intimate setting, the band's performing their hearts out, or the extraordinary musicians who collaborated with Kiosk tonight? I don't know which, but I know that the overall effect was superb! It was a great night for Kiosk fans in the Bay Area. It was a real treat to hear Bruno Pelletier, Jason Ditzian, and Paul Mehling play with the band and to get a preview of Kiosk's new songs.

I should say khasteh nabasheed to Kiosk for a job well done. I would also like to say a special thank you to the Iranian.com volunteers who worked very hard, Hadi, Payam, Vahid, and Mohammad. This was an excellent night with lots of fabulous memories! Kiosk rocks!

کنسرت به یاد ماندنی

کنسرتهای گروه کیوسک همیشه مهیج و بیادماندنی هستند. این گروه در عمر کوتاه خود توانسته مخاطبین زیادی را به خود جلب کند و یکی از گروهای موفق موسیقی زیرزمینی ماست که با نگاه دقیق و موشکافانه و طنز تلخ خود واقعیتهای ایران امروز را به تماشا می گذارد

برای دیدن کنسرت امشب بیصبرانه منتظرم و حتما آنجا خواهم بود

Emotionally Provocative, ...

Substantial and Heartfelt are the adjectives that come to my mind about Kiosk's music and lyrics. Then there's their Coolness factor which I think is partly the result of their individual attributes and their fun-to-watch/hear/ experience down-to-earth chemistry. These guys feel bliss while they play their tunes and pass it on to their audience. Really cool on the eyes.

Some of my favorites of Kiosk:

Plus Ey Dad Az Eshgh, Aadam Mamooli, Zorbaye Malayeri, Bitarbiyat, etc. 

Ordinary men

Kiosk is one of the most favorite Iranian rock/jass/blues bands.  I enjoy their particular brand of music with political and humorous lyrics.  I also like the group because their songs are unpretentious, they feel real and heartfelt.

My favorite song is adam'e mamoli:

Lucky You Nazy!

It'd be one memorable 4th to hear these wonderful souls play Live tomorrow night. Wishing you a good night's rest tonight.
