Serj Tankian is that lead singer losing his mind screaming into the microphone at those System of the Down shows. You know, the one amping the crowd into a frenzy rivaled only by a pack of starved wolves. Obviously this Armenian from Glendale has enough kaboom to rock a successful solo side dealio. And LAist loves local success stories. Anyways, he whips out this Elect The Dead album, it doesn't come out until October......

Our spy says the group put on a great show, despite the fact that they didn't play many old songs, and featured Shirly Manson in full sex kitten mode sporting a a Brigitte Bardo tousled hair style, sexy red dress, fishnets......
