Hi Sohrab,

I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm Pooria's cousin. I met you at his birthday and you played " Girl, you'll be a woman soon".

You guys are awesome and I'm looking forward to listening to your new songs.

Peace.

hey
ur song Khosro-e Khooban, and its video are truly incredible. i'm not one who gives compliments like that for anything, but i hav watched that video at least 20 times today. the way the video is done is sick, and in the video you show how young iranians can relate to you and your music. the song itself is incredible, with great music, great lyrics, and great voice man... ( a little bit of a looti tone which makes it priceless). i dont know ur name but u r great, and every1 else standin around...lol u guys dance pretty well
but seriously....this song and video both hav gone up into my all time great music. for persian rock, i haven't heard any song that i like nearly as much as this. and i listen to o-hum, kiosk, abjeez,.... keep up the work. , and come tour canada please
thanks
ali
