Of Late and Future… Children, Guitars and a Ladybird !

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

We seem to be quiet lately, some people keep on saying that. But things only keep on seeming like that, because recently our life away from public view has been very active.

Now our band is enlarged!!! Our Derik is now a double-father! In September little Suren Vardumyan was born, a little angel, probably drummer in the future (though his eldest sister Ani has already taken it on ;) ), or maybe a singer, or an actor like his parents.

Suren-&-Ani

Welcome to the family!!!

Derik & Ani

Future!

Meet other members of our band – Now Henry has got two new guitars  - acoustic guitar Yamaha CPX 15-WA and electric guitar Peavey. Both are handcrafted guitars.

Guitar Fest - Henry with Peavey

With the latter guitar Henry performed at the Guitar Festival, and it was actually the same guitar which “crashed” while playing on it. (Don’t know what happened then, but the guitar is ok now). Luckily he had the other guitar with him, but this incident was the reaso that journalists wrote about it (funny right, it was not about music, but the fact that a guitar crashed during the show…wow, who would guess!!!)

And eventually, our bride, who we, Vardan particularly, have been waiting for for some 6 months! Specially made for Vardan Grigoryan by Armen Blbulian!!!

Vardan with his treasure

It’s so marvelous, sounds soft and perfect. Words can’t really describe this beauty, you should see and feel it live! But be aware, Vardan doesn’t let anyone get close to his treasure!

Sounds soft and perfect...

Finally we have released a promo CD with 5 songs on it, before the whole CD will be ready or available on the internet.

So now, equipped with new “ammunition” we are ready to invade . Expect a live in concert in the future with a number of new songs.

Yeah, and me… I’m already wearing my red warm hat, it’s pretty cold outdoors, and waiting for the muse to visit me with a basket of  lyrics for our new songs.

And this photo just for a change!

Found a ladybird in my photo archives ;)

metalized - check it out

Recently a small article about Dogma was published in “Metalized” Magazine (http://www.metalized.dk/) , which is the biggest heavy metal magazine in Denmark and is sold throughout Scandinavia. It aroused readers’ interest. After a listen to Dogma’s music several musicians expressed their positive opinion and wished to see Dogma in Denmark.

Dogma – Article at “Ankagh” Weekly

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

You may guess that not very often we tell about our band publicly. For that you need the right atmosphere to express your thoughts more openly and detailed. And this was exactly that case! Rather an open conversation than an interview.

Read the article about DOGMA at “Ankagh” Weekly, August 20-27 edition N14.
