...members of a hard-driving band from New Jersey are just unzipping their gig bags. "We rock at 7:30 sharp," says David Wish, the band's leader, founder and token grownup. Wish's group has a lot on its schedule: a run-through of a Carlos Santana tune, some funk and blues improvisation and a tutorial in stage presence. "Make a face like you're mad, like you mean it," Wish hollers over the din of nine acoustic guitars while windmilling his arm Pete Townshend--style.

(Come to think of it, that guy who licked Spears' face does look a tad peaked.) "More mature and more sensual...
...into a heaving jewel box of glitter and gold lam?. About 40 women filled the tiny room, spilling over sofas and sitting in one another's laps. Space for a dance floor had been cleared between sprawling limbs, and a corpulent, velvet-bedecked woman gyrated to a popular Bollywood tune. When she tired, she was replaced by a girl whose undulating hips and gaudy makeup would not have been amiss in a strip joint. These were not the demure, burqa'd women I'd expected to meet in Afghanistan...
