Hey Everyone.
I shared some of this info over at the message boards on systemofadown.com, but figured I should probably hit this site up too.
John has been writing songs with a yet-to-be named new group. Though all members hail originally from Southern California, they have been writing and rehearsing in Las Vegas, where John is currently living.
They have ten songs so far, and plan to start playing shows in Vegas and LA once they are happy with 10-12.
John is playing a huge creative role in writing and structuring and, as far as drumming, is really killing these songs.
I am good friends with the other three guys in the band and have heard the stuff; some of it is really incredible.
I look forward to hearing from anyone else about the project. I'll also try to answer whatever questions I can.
I took a shitty picture with my phone last time I was out there, but I tried to get enough background to put the photo in a believable context.
Note the "MESMERIZE HYPNOTIZE" banner, the assorted framed photos of SOAD below, and the killer Dragon's Lair II arcade console. John is in the lower right hand corner sporting a mohawk.

I thought John couldn't write songs.
Anyways, good that he's doing something, thanks for the info  |

| Best of luck to John & his Vegas buddies. It would be really cool if John and his pals could turn out a CD that would blow everything that Serj and Daron has done out of the water. |
