The Five Fingers

[vasbourakan1]

I just came through this site by accident, it concerns a band apparently in LA, Ca, but looking to their pictures, there are several things which are worth to be mentioned
1. from their clothings and some dates on the pictures, they go back to the Beatles era
2. there are several familiar names such as Maxim, Karnig Sarkissian, Charles Aznavour, Ara Kekejian (the one who sings shokegark@ pouf pouf pouf) and others, with whom they performed -pity that the picture including Karnig has been removed.
3. they claim being the first to perform a song dedicated to the Armenian Genocide, so far I could not trace this song despite all the searches on the net, can anybody help? and not just for curiosity, it could be a nice song, speaking melodically and not from the patriotic aspect of it's

Re: The Five Fingers

going through the list of their friends, I found this interesting band called the news, http://www.myspace.com/officialthenews
from their pictures they appear a little bit weird, also they managed to find english equivalents to their names
"THE NEWS" ORIGINAL LINE UP(1968-1972). _____________________ (ARA HAJIAN) also known as (AREM YOUNG) _____________________ (JACK TAMOUKIAN) also known as (JACK MACDONALD) _____________________ (MIKE POSTIAN) also known as (MIKE POSTER) _____________________ (JOHN TASLAKIAN) aslo known as (JOHN WILDE)
probably to succeed in their job, but what is funny is this quotation
''One of these bands was "THE NEWS" who wanted to take success where no one in their country has taken it before, thus paving the way for many other talented great musicians to come from that tiny country, including some of the members of Grammy winning band SYSTEM OF A DOWN, who's parents were musicians and have played with former members of THE NEWS''
now reading the names above and comparing to those of soad, even of the previous generation, I could not find any correlation and if someone can clarify this.
