    Serj Tankian and Viza SF Concert Ticket Giveaway

    SAN FRANCISCO,CA - The San Francisco Bay Area Armenian National
    Committee (ANC-SF ) has teamed up with Serj
    Tankian
    and Viza to give away tickets to the
    September 24th Serj Tankian / Viza concert in San Francisco. The tickets
    will be given away September 14-16th, during the 55th annual St. Gregory
    Armenian Church Bazaar and Food
    Festival.
    Those who register with ANC-SF will be entered into a drawing to win a pair
    of tickets to the concert. Other giveaways from the musicians will be
    available at ANC-SF's bazaar booth.

    "We are very thankful to Serj Tankian and VIZA for their generosity in
    providing concert tickets and other items to engage a new generation in
    helping advance the Armenian Cause," said Armen Carapetian, chairman of
    ANC-SF.

    Serj Tankian, formerly the lead singer of the Grammy Award winning rock
    band System of a Down, released his third solo album, Harakiri, on July
    10th. It is the follow up to 2010's critically acclaimed Imperfect
    Harmonies. As with 2007's Elect the Dead and Imperfect Harmonies, Tankian
    produced Harakiri at his home studio in Los Angeles.

    `I used the Apple iPad as a songwriting instrument to sketch out three of
    the songs on the record' said Tankian. `We must trick ourselves into
    writing in different ways to get unexpected results.'

    Tankian will be joined by Los Angeles-based band VIZA on his Harakiri Tour
    2012. VIZA has released four albums and an award-winning music
    video. In VIZA's "De Facto" and "Eros" albums, the music is a blend of
    Armenian, Russian and Greek traditions, along with rock and dance. In the
    album, "Made in Chernobyl," Russian and Eastern European styles and themes
    take center stage. VIZA describes itself as "a passport into a musical
    endeavor that touches its conspirators, cultural, spiritual, and literal
    influences, while translating them into a perfect balance of old world
    nostalgia, modern experimentation and social revival." In August 2010, Viza
    was the opening act for Serj Tankian's `Imperfect Harmonies' tour in
    Yerevan and several Eruropean cities.
