Scars on Broadway catch the 9:25 at Union Station

If you don't listen to KROQ (and we know many of you don't), you might not know about tonight's KROQ-sponsored Scars on Broadway show at Union Station downtown. Scars principals Daron Malakian and John Dolmayan (from System of a Down) will surely scare the bejesus out of late arriving or departing commuters caught unawares this evening via performing such loud and politically charged tracks as "They Say" inside the historic building's impossibly ornate lobby beginning at 9:25 p.m.

To gain entry to the show, you may pre-purchase Scars on Broadway's debut disc in front of Union Station at a Best Buy tent specially set up for the gig from 7 p.m. onward. Once purchased, wristbands will be given out for the concert, which will also be streamed live on the band's website for those who can't make it.

For more on Scars on Broadway, check out Richard Cromelin's feature in today's Calendar section.

Here's hoping the band plays loud enough that the folks in the nearby Twin Towers get to hear just a taste. They could use some cheering up, we suspect.
