Blood Moon Therapy: Beyond diplomacy
A blood moon is essentially a full moon, except it is orange in colour and it happens rarely, but when it does it is a therapeutic and relaxing sight. And the beauty of the moon is so captivating that the New York-based musicians decided to name their band ‘Blood Moon Therapy’. Recently, the band made headlines for its ‘rock diplomacy’ tour across Pakistan. Although cynics cringed at the poor sound quality, one thing was certain — rock can transcend boundaries.
While talking about the experience of performing in Pakistan, founding member and guitarist Nicholas Bacon, says “It was interesting as we were allowed to improvise and innovate on stage due to the constant challenges related to sound and equipment failures.”
Meanwhile, Michael Lombardi, the frontman of Blood Moon Therapy, who is also a leading TV actor, adds, “What surprised me the most was the knowledge of rock music here,” he says. “There were these kids wearing AC/DC t-shirts and they were singing along, having a ball.

Naseer & Shahab - Za Pukhtoon Yam
I am not very fond of “ethnic nationalism” but this is first of all very catchy, secondly it has a point which is dear to my heart as it breaks the stereotypes against Pakhtun (esp given war in Afghanistan and tribal areas of Pakistan), and finally it has beautiful lyrics!
The enemy brands it as a language of hell,
To heaven I will go with Pashto. (Ameer Hamza Shinwari)
