well i'm a guitar player and it has been my goal for 2-3 years to actually form an alternative/rock/indie band with a bunch of iranians. but as you may know firstly to form a rock band, you require to have at least a singer, guitarist, a bassist and a drummer. but in the iranian community, bass and drum are not very popular and all the parents want their children to play flamenco or the 6/8 iranian tunes, not an actual rock riff. even if someone is in a rock band in iran, they actually try to play metal riffs with the loudest distortions.

anyways, to be honest i'm not into bandari tunes or any hardcore metal songs. i just want to play music like red hot chili peppers and arctic monkeys. so anyone want to cooperate???
