DEREV – Troubled Mind Western Canada Tour

Derev is a Progressive Rock Band captivating global audiences with its innovative blend of Progressive Rock and traditional Middle-Eastern music. The entire project is proof of concept for the collaboration that childhood friends Armando Bablanian (guitar) and Michel Karakach (drums) struck up in Kuwait a while back. Since then, a move to Toronto and the addition of bassist Stan Kamarovski and keyboardist/synth player Ran Zehavi have made Derev a full-fledged band. “Room 9” finds that core unit augmented by guest singer Adel Saflou, whose suitably tortured lead vocals will also be featured on the group’s new album, the thematically of-a-piece Troubled Mind.

With that document already complete and about to be unleashed on the world, Derev continues to move forward at a determined pace. Singer Mike Symons has been brought aboard to work the mic full-time, and he’ll be front and center when the band undertakes a blitz of concert appearances keyed to the new release. With each show, Derev continues to build on its reputation as a “must see” live band.
