1. It all started when two classmates, childhood friends Davit Grigoryan (lead guitar) and Vahan Poghosyan started to listen to rock music when they were in the 8th grade.
Sooner when they were inspired by the sounds of electric guitar, they decided to learn to play guitar. After learning a few basic chords they found out that they are too lazy to learn and cover their favorite songs, and it's high time to write their own. It was easier and more interesting. Vahan suggested to gather a band and name it Senexes.
It was already 2002 and hell knows what it means.
Senexes band had several gigs in their home town Vanadzor till 2005.
In 2005 Davit Galstyan (bass) and Vardan Paremuzyan (ex-drummer of VK) joined the band.
Vahan Poghosyan suggested to change the name of the band because he wanted the band name to sound Armenian and have meaning and philosophy.
Vahan suggested VORDAN KARMIR.
(Vordan Karmir is a name of red paint in Armenian. In the past it was very popular cochineal in the world. That color was used in paintings, king's clothing, medicine, carpets and in many other things. It was made of special endemic insect in Ararat valley, Armenia.
Now the secret of making that paint is lost. And VK members decided to refine the lost value in their music.)
So everything started when all 4 members said Yes to the new band name.
In 2010 Payqar Chakhoyan joined the band as a drummer.
During 10 years of existence VK had many concerts in Armenia, played gigs in Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, London, Germany and Spain, appeared in several local and international music festivals. Released one full-length album (A4) and two EPs.
