About Chopsuey
Chopsuey stands as the undisputed top System of a Down tribute band in the UK, meticulously recreating the electrifying experience of the Armenian-American titans. Formed by a collective of seasoned musicians with a deep reverence for SOAD’s unique blend of metal, progressive rock, and traditional Armenian folk, Chopsuey has quickly garnered a reputation for their authentic sound and intense live performances. They don’t just play the songs; they embody the spirit and political conviction that defines System of a Down.
The band faithfully covers the breadth of SOAD’s discography, from the raw power of their self-titled debut to the intricate melodies of Toxicity and the politically charged anthems of Mezmerize and Hypnotize. Fans can expect to hear all the seminal tracks that defined a generation, including “Chop Suey!”, “Toxicity”, “Sugar”, “B.Y.O.B.”, and “Aerials”. Chopsuey’s current lineup, featuring a charismatic vocalist who perfectly captures Serj Tankian’s distinctive range, a guitarist who channels Daron Malakian’s idiosyncratic riffage, a dynamic bassist, and a powerhouse drummer, ensures every note is delivered with uncompromising accuracy and ferocity. Their dedication ensures a live experience that is as close to the original as possible, leaving audiences breathless and exhilarated.
