SYSTEM STAR MALAKIAN PLANS NEW BAND

Workaholic SYSTEM OF A DOWN star DARON MALAKIAN is already making plans to form his own band when the group starts a planned hiatus after headlining the Ozzfest tour.

DARON MALAKIAN of SYSTEM OF A DOWN performing at the Los Angeles Radio Station KROQ concert 'Almost Acoustic Christmas' 2005 held at the Gibson Amphitheatre, Universal City, Los Angeles, California - 10.12.05

Malakian is in the process of forming and writing songs for SCARS ON BROADWAY and aims to debut his new act next year (07).

Malakian says, "I'm still kind of getting the whole band together at this point. After I get back home from Ozzfest that's pretty much what I'll be focusing on.

"There's a few different directions I want to take, whether it be a little bit more ethnic or sometimes electronic."

System Of A Down bass player SHAVO ODADJIAN, who is also working on a side project with rapper RZA, is expected to be part of Malakian's new band.
