 On
Monday night, singer-guitarist Daron Malakian and drummer John
Dolmayan of System of a Down gave fans another vivid glimpse of their new
band, Scars on Broadway, at a special show at Los Angeles Union Station, a
1930s-era landmark in the band’s hometown. On the eve of today’s release of
their self-titled Interscope debut, Scars on Broadway performed a 40-minute set
in the monumental north wing of the train station, as fans moshed on a
dancefloor of polished marble and clay.
It was only the band’s ninth show ever, following a brief promotional tour of
Europe and sets at Coachella, KROQ’s Weenie Roast, a benefit in L.A. with
Metallica, and its unannounced April debut at the Whisky a-Go-Go. In the band’s
trailer before the show, drummer John Dolmayan said, “We’ve got something
special. We’ve got a good live vibe. The energy is crazy. We’re playing with
three guys that are very hungry, and we’re very hungry.” |

 "I
DON'T get it when people complain that baseball games are too long," says Daron
Malakian, watching the action from a seat behind home plate at Dodger Stadium
during one of the team's recent home games.
"This is my favorite place in the
world. I don't care how long it goes, I'll be here to the end."
This most wholesome and mainstream of settings probably isn't the place you'd
picture as Malakian's chosen refuge, given the apocalyptic, dissident,
disillusioned, angry, irreligious scenarios that belch from the self-titled
debut album by his new band, Scars on Broadway. |
