Three members of SOAD — Daron Malakian, Shavo Odadjian and John Dolmayan performed three songs (including SOAD’s “Suite-Pee” and SCARS ON BROADWAY’s “They Say”) at Shavo’s Halloween party at the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, California on Saturday (October 31).

In October 2008, Malakian announced via SCARS ON BROADWAY’s web site that the band’s headlining tour — which included an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” — was being cancelled, with no plans of rescheduling. Malakian cited his lack of enthusiasm and “his heart not being into touring” as the chief reasons behind the decision to call off the trek. “The music of SCARS will live on, but now is a time when aspects of my life need to be tended to,” he said in a statement.
SCARS ON BROADWAY sold just under 24,000 copies of its self-titled debut album in the United States during its first week of release to debut at position No. 17 on The Billboard 200 chart. This number represented roughly 36 percent of the 66,000 opening tally registered by “Elect the Dead”, the debut solo effort from SYSTEM OF A DOWN lead singer Serj Tankian, which came out in the fall of 2007 through the Warner Music Group.
“Scars On Broadway” has shifted just 78,000 copies in the United States since its July 29, 2008 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
