District Unknown - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) video free download
District Unknown is the first (and for now only) Metal band from Afghanistan. *That* alone makes them being history. At this moment there's no recording (audio or video) the I can find about them, but this one.
It was taken from http://argusproductions.blogspot.com/2010/11/district-unknown-live-in-kabul.html and I'm just re-posting it here because, there, it is hosted on Google Video, which is going to cease to exist, and I don't know if Argus Productions are planing on migrating it to Youtube or not, and it would be a shame if the only record of their sound would be lost... So, here it is.
This video is a cover of Marilyn Manson's "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)". Yes, I know that it makes it a shock rock (and not Metal) track (who cares, really), and yes, I know that Sweet Dreams isn't from Marilyn Manson (yet, if you listen to this video you'll notice that they're surely covering Marilyn Manson's version, not any other).
Comments and stuff like that... shoot.
UPDATE: http://www.youtube.com/user/DistrictUnknonwTV/videos?view=0&flow=grid is the link to the band's now existing official YouTube channel, check them out there!

Pedram: nice to have your comment here. I'm the uploader of this video, and I did it so only because, as I state on the video description, it was quite hard for me to find *anything* played from you, and and wanted to "ease the way" for others curious as I was. I'm happy to know that the band goes on and has new stuff, I'll put a link on the description to what now exists and seems to be your bands' official YouTube channel. Anyway, if you feel I should remove this video just tell me so :-)12 years ago

Actually, doesn't take much guts to do something like this. The idea you have of Afghan people is what the media has been selling you. Most Afghans would just not like this type of music. Now if this was a group of women... that'd be brave. Most Afghans are not Taliban/Extremism supporters. & Taliban come from 1 ethnic group in Afghanistan. There's like 7+ ethnic groups in Afghanistan.12 years ago

Yeah, they sound crap, but talking as a musician, we all sounded like crap at some point. Props to them doing this, hopefully they keep at it!12 years ago

That takes balls, guessing this sound a hell of a lot better live since I saw some excellent finger-tapping during the video but couldn't hear it. Keep it up gents!12 years ago
