No not bans, bands...

Is there a local (no, not Local's) scene for bands? I don't mean the covers crap but bands that actually write and perform?

I've been here a while and hardly heard any of them... where do they gig?

Any info?

There are a few nu-metal type rock bands kicking around.

One of the better ones is apparently called Mannekind or something like that. I believe they are going to be playing the Desert Rock festival after winning some Dubai battle of the bands contest.

There's a band in Jimmy Dix!

gig? you mean giggle

Problem is of course that most Khaleeji's prefer to pretend to be gangsta rappers.

Yeah - had heard of them and knew there was a metal scene of sorts... where do they play?

Is there any venues for non-covers bands?

Yes Lily - I know about the Dix(!) not really what I was after, but thankie none the less...
