CONCERT AND FILM
Band: Langtunes

It’s not often that pop culture enthusiasts turn their gaze to Tehran, that young, mad, gigantic city of many faces, a city in which the autonomous life seems to play out behind closed doors. This is the place that "Langtunes" call home, where they are forbidden to

spread Western music, to sell CDs or to take their band on tour in their own country. Becoming a successful rock musician in Iran is a nearly Utopian notion; nevertheless they press on. "We’re just making music", they say innocently – knowing full well what a dangerous weapon that can be in their homeland. English lyrics, fast guitars and a blistering indie sound testify to Iran’s modern side and promise a 100% cool concert!
