Three cheers for Arian - Iran's first boy (and girl) band

Away from the hackneyed image of Iran, Arian, Iran's first two-sex pop band, has begun performing at concerts abroad, including the UK and Sweden. "If you go to Iranian movies all you see is misery - nothing else. People think Iran is like this - everything is a desert, all the people are crying... We wanted to show the real Iran," said Ali, one of the band members, to BBC. Check out the website at www.arianmusic.com!
