    Eurovision 2013: An interview with Dorians of Armenia (video)

    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.
