KING RAAM
SMOKE SEASON
$15 Backstage / Doors at 7:30
King Raam is an Iranian musician based out of Tehran. He started his musical career as the singer/songwriter/founder of Hypernova, a post-punk band in New York, which was born in the undergrounds of Tehran in the early 2000's. After several years of adventures between New York, London and Los Angeles, Raam has finally returned to his motherland in order to pursue his musical career. The progressive nature of the modern Iranian society, led by the younger generation, has ushered a new era of creativity. And King Raam is a reaffirmation that there is a legitimate demand for an alternative sound in the Iranian music scene.
