SAN FRANCISCO-The San Francisco Bay Area Armenian National Committee
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.
