We've all been watching the situation in Iran over the past few weeks. Yesterday we received the following email from Iranian metal band TarantisT, who played a showcase at SXSW 2009.

Subject: Need Help
Iran's government has beaten one of our band members badly in Iran so he can't walk, also they threw tear gas into the basement where the guys were practicing. Everybody now is in danger [like all the people in the country].
We need to save them as soon as possible, So we are asking for help to be able to afford their costs and bring them here as soon as possible.
People can help by buying our songs/album on iTunes [our songs as compensation for your favours while you may not like them] or donate us on our Paypal account. Would you please spread this word to the world and to the people or organizations that may help?
Meanwhile other Iranian bands are in touch with us and they say that they are hiding all the time since Government is arresting dissidents and musicians. We want to help the other bands, too. But we need help, can't do anything alone.
We really would be thankful.
Your Iranian brothers,
TarantisT
