SCARS ON BROADWAY TO MAKE NETWORK TV DEBUT

Scars on Broadway, the collaboration between guitarist/vocalist Daron Malakian and drummer John Dolmayan, will make its network television debut on Tuesday, October 14 with an appearance on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live." While two songs will be broadcast on-air, the band will perform a free, five-song mini-concert on Kimmel's Outdoor Stage located right in the heart of Hollywood, CA, Scars on Broadway's home base. "Jimmy Kimmel Live" airs at 12:05AM ET and PT/11:05PM CT.

For the broadcast, Scars on Broadway - Malakian, Dolmayan, guitarist Franky Perez, keyboardist Danny Shamoun and bassist Dominic Cifarelli - will perform "World Long Gone" from their self-titled debut that was released July 29 (Interscope), and for the show's closing, "They Say."

The TV appearance will precede Scars on Broadway's first-ever North American headline tour which will kick off October 19 in Atlanta, GA, and conclude in Houston, TX on November 26.

Called a "grade A killer debut" by one major daily, Scars' music is different from the chaotic/alt/metal sound of System of a Down, the Grammy-winning, multi-Platinum band that Malakian and Dolmayan were part of for nearly a decade. Scars music is more song-based and showcases Malakian's varied writing style, from the simmering rock sound of "World Long Gone" to the melodic yet desolate "Universe." On the politically-tinged "3005," Malakian proves he is still as provocative as ever with the lyric, "Let's clap our hands for the president and Jesus Christ/And don't forget Charles Manson..." And "They Say," the first track leaked to the public, is heavy, but in more of a 1970s punk fashion. Some of the other confirmed tracks include "Enemy," ""Stoner Hate," "Babylon," and "Cute Machines."
