Show will go on for Yellow Dogs following murder of band members
Two surviving members of the Iranian indie band Yellow Dogs said Monday’s bloody shooting rampage in Brooklyn that killed the group’s drummer and guitarist won’t stop them from making music.
“We will not let this disgusting brutality define us or our story, but instead respond by creating music more passionately and with more intensity than ever before,” said Siavash Karampour and Koory Mirzaei in a joint written statement released Wednesday.
Band members and brothers Soroush and Arash Farazmand, as well as fellow musician Ali Eskandarian, were shot to death early Monday by another Iranian musician, Ali Akbar Mohammadi Rafie, 29, inside the East Williamsburg row house that doubled as the band’s rehearsal space.
Rafie was a member of the Iranian rock group Free Keys, which had close ties with the Yellow Dogs, until he was kicked out of the band about a year ago.
Police said Rafie wanted to get back into the band and killed the three when his overtures were rejected.
