SYSTEM OF A DOWN guitarist Daron Malakian’s new band with SYSTEM drummer John Dolmayan, called SCARS ON BROADWAY, will make its live debut tonight (Friday, April 11) at the Whisky A-Go Go in West Hollywood, California, according to a posting on the group’s MySpace page.

SCARS ON BROADWAY last month released its first song, entitled “They Say”.

Malakian recently told Revolver magazine that SCARS ON BROADWAY is his first priority right now and he doesn’t see a return to SYSTEM any time soon.

OZZFEST Festival In DALLAS and LONDON Only: No Tour planned?

OZZFEST Rumors:

This year’s edition of Ozzfest will consist of two separate two-day (Saturday/Sunday) events — one of which will be held in Dallas — in late July/early August, with OZZY headlining one day and METALLICA the other. Kerrang.com reported last month that Ozzfest 2008 is strongly rumored to be coming to the UK with a one-off show at London’s 02 Arena on July 19.

The rumors come in the wake of this year’s arrival of the metal-oriented Rockstar Energy Mayhem Tour, which will play 30 North American amphitheaters during July and August, the time when Ozzfest is traditionally making its rounds.

Last year’s Ozzfest offered free admission, with fans acquiring tickets mostly through sponsoring web sites. But the acts were not paid either, which resulted in a decidedly less than impressive main stage lineup. The Mayhem trek has already robbed Ozzfest of two potential main-stage heavyweights in DISTURBED and SLIPKNOT, with fan favorites DRAGONFORCE and MASTODON also taking part in the Mayhem tour.
