Video: SYSTEM OF A DOWN's DARON MALAKIAN Performs With MILLENNIALS In West Hollywood
August 21, 2016SYSTEM OF A DOWN's Daron Malakian performed with the Los Angeles-based alternative music project MILLENNIALS on August 18 at The Troubadour in West Hollywood, California.
Combining elements of punk, reggae, dance music and jazz, MILLENNIALS feature drummer Mike Tree, saxophonist Matt Silberman, keyboardist Mesrop Sarkisyan and guitarist/vocalist Orbel Babayan.
Babayan says: "Most of us have known each other since we were kids, if not teens. It's a rare blessing to find people you go so far back with and make music as you could connect on what could feel like a telepathic level."
Besides spending eight years touring and recording with his other project VIZA, Babayan has written, recorded and performed with artists such as DMC (RUN-D.M.C.),Bobby Brown and Miguel.
MILLENNIALS' full-length is expected by the end of the year.
SYSTEM OF A DOWN last released new music in 2005 with the "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize" albums, but started to tour again in 2011.
The band's singer, Serj Tankian, said in a 2015 interview that "there has been talk" of the band recording a new album, but stressed that a new record depends on whether he and Malakian have "songs that work for SYSTEM."
Meanwhile, SCARS ON BROADWAY, Malakian's side project with SYSTEM OF A DOWN drummer John Dolmayan, has not released an album since its self-titled debut in 2008.
SCARS ON BROADWAY last performed live in 2012, opening for DEFTONES at the Hollywood Palladium.
