SCARS ON BROADWAY: FUSE TV's 'Behind-The-Scenes' Footage Available

August 8, 2008

Fuse TV has uploaded a two-and-a-half-minute clip containing behind-the-scenes footage of SCARS ON BROADWAY, the new band led by SYSTEM OF A DOWN guitarist Daron Malakian and drummer John Dolmayan. Watch it below.

As previously reported, SCARS ON BROADWAY's self-titled debut album entered the Billboard album chart at No. 17 on Wednesday (August 6),selling 24,000 copies in its first week of release. Malakian told The Pulse of Radio that even though SCARS is a different group from SYSTEM OF A DOWN, it's not that far removed from the music he wrote for SYSTEM. "SYSTEM OF A DOWN never had any walls or any borders that we didn't cross. Musically speaking we went almost in every direction. I never felt like I couldn't express myself in any which way in SYSTEM. But I'm not gonna go ahead and do SYSTEM on my own without the members of SYSTEM. So, you know, it turns out circumstances put me in a position that, you know, I had to start a new band."

SCARS ON BROADWAY will launch its first headlining tour of North America in October. Exact dates and venues have yet to be determined.

SYSTEM OF A DOWN has been on an extended hiatus since the late summer of 2006, with no immediate plans to regroup.

Singer Serj Tankian issued his solo debut, "Elect the Dead", last fall. It sold 66,000 copies in its first week to debut at No. 4.
