YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 4, ARMENPRESS. The Beautified Project rock band
will raise the issue of the Armenian Genocide at their acoustic
concerts, which are due to be held in various countries of the world
in 2015. In a conversation with "Armenpress", the founder of the band
Andre Simonian stated that it is considered to hold concerts in the
UK, Germany, France, Austria, and possibly in Poland and Latvia.
Responding the question about the possibility of laying obstacles to
the organization of the concerts by some groups, Andre Simonian
underscored that anybody, who'll try to do that will have no success.

Simonian.

Shaverdian, Arlen Shaverdian. The Beautified Project is the first

time, released its first demo album, 'Serenades for Insanity' in
London. In 2008 the band recorded and released its first official

on to release six official music videos off of this album, one of
which went as far as being aired by the MTV and PMC.
In 2010, the band released its 2nd official album 'Beyond the
Butterfly' to a critical acclaim. The first single off the album
'Butterfly', became the band's biggest hit to date, gaining them a
place on MTV. The success of the album was followed by several
successful concerts in London, Vienna, Georgia and Armenia. During the
band's UK tour, the international branch of BBC made a documentary
about The Beautified Project.
In May 2011, The Beautified Project recorded a duet, 'Broken Smile',
with the lead singer Mick Moss of the world-known English Melancholic
rock band Antimatter.

song KILIKIA which became the most watched rendition of that song on
