We are absolutely THRILLED to announce that a local band in Yerevan called 1243K is hosting a concert this Friday, March 4th to raise funds for the ARK Bridge Project.
A little bit about the band: 1243K is an indie rock band based in Yerevan. Their name translates to 12 hours for 3000 Drams [~6 USD], a rate of pay in Armenia (and also the world). They took interest in the ARK Bridge project, not just because their piano player is none other but our very own campaign manager, Karine Vann, but also because this project falls in line with the issues that they sing about.
The rest of the band is made up of lead singer and guitarist, Leslie Diaz, is a Mexican-American from Texas, USA. Their bassist and back-up vocals is Armine Ghazaryan, a native of Yerevan. And their electric guitarist, Lucas Perez Monsalvo, an architect from Argentina recently moved from Armenia back to his home country. Read more about their activities in the underground music scene for the last 3 years here in an article recently published by CivilNet.
So go ahead, check out their SoundCloud, like them on Facebook, and make sure you don't miss the show on Friday at In Sane Pub near Cascade in Yerevan!
