Dorians - Lonely Planet (Armenia) impression of second rehearsal
The most popular Armenian rock band Dorians represents Armenia in the
2013 Eurovision Song Contest, with the song Lonely Planet, written by
Tony Iommi, the guitarist and songwriter of Black Sabbath, and
Armenian lyricist Vardan Zadoyan.
"Dorians" consists of five musicians: Gor Sujyan (lead vocal), Gagik
Khodavirdi (lead guitar), Edgar Sahakyan (bass guitar), Arman
Pahlevanyan (keyboards) and Arman Jalalyan (drums).
Gor Sujyan, the front man of the rock band, took the decision to
become a musician when he first listened to the song Stairway To
Heaven by Led Zeppelin, which has been symbolic and, perhaps, fatal.
In a very short period of time the young man who never ever took music
education has recorded outstanding achievements in the music industry
together with his friends Gagik, Arman, Edgar and Arman.
Led Zeppelin had a big influence on the process of formation of
Dorians. In 2008 when the boys gathered together they created a band
called Gor and Friends and they began to perform the songs of Led
Zeppelin. In six months they decided to perform not only cover songs,
but also their own songs and decided to rename the band from Gor and
Friends to Dorians.
At the beginning the band was performing songs only in English, but
soon Dorians made a great revolution in their repertoire presenting
their fans the song Yes Kulam which means I'm Crying in Armenian. The
song became very popular because "it's about a greater love", as Gor
explains.
Dorians first studio album called Fly was released in 2011. In August,
2011, the band performed during the opening ceremony of Serj Tangian's
concert in Yerevan. But the most important concert for the band took
place in September 2010, when Glenn Hughes and Derek Sherinian
performed on the same stage with Dorians in Yerevan.
