Oh Mr Jabberjaw, I know for sure one person who will be very interested for your Rock �N� Roll music, he is Uncle Bandar and his Muttaweens. They will be glad to send you a Pick-up car full of Muttaweens to your villa for a special visit and �lashes� song ceremony.  |

Nothing unusual there: whiplashes galore featured in the Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky Mick and Tich classic, "The legend of Xanadu." I remember seeing them on Top of the Pops in 1968 when I was a wee lad. Ah, happy days! |

Ignore 007, who seems to have an obsession with Uncle Bandar!!!!
If you are in a compound, well...as you know, you can do what you want within reason. Good luck with your band. As long as you can find people who can play/sing/mime/whatever, you will have no probs from UB.
I wouldn't start a live jammin' session outside the Min of Interior office, however!!

They actually had a public concert of Saudi Heavy Metal bands in Riyadh last week. The organizers did say it would be their last one because they found it too stressful, but it went off without incident, and there should be a group of fellow musicians you can jam with at private sessions |

I think it's ok between sunset and sunrise. Not that I'm speaking from experience, you understand! |

No, just a t-shirt and wozar. It's too hot here for latex.  |
