Music for me always represents a way to deal with emotions ranging from hate, anger to love and bliss. I think with  music, my hope is we all can come together and can eradicate the hate and violence that is in this world today.

It is sad to hear about the tragic fatal shooting of three band members of The Yellow Dogs from Iran. This indie punk/rock band relocated from Iran and settled into Brooklyn, seeking more musical freedom and they had been quite successful at getting their high energy music out there. Recently, one of the band members who was kicked out of the band, returned to their apartment at 318 Maujer St, Brookly, NY and fatally shot the three remaining band members.Another member has been shot but is in stable condition in the hospital. Names have not been released of the gunman or the victims. The band members were reportedly shot and the shooter was found on the roof with a self inflicted gun shot to the head, with a rifle by his side. Tragic, tragic, tragic and so very sad that these young musicians had their lives/futures cut short.  Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of these young men.

Often people remember how people died and not how they lived. I want us to celebrate these young musicians and not forget about how they lived creating music and following their passion and love for their art. You can check out some of their music in the videos below which reminds me of a blend of The Kinks, The Clash, Talking Heads, great music!
