On 14 May 2006, the young Gyumri rock band Bambir presented the premiere of their new live set at The Club in Yerevan. Billed to start at 11.43 pm, the band's new musical programe commenced a little past midnight. Entitled The Diary, Bambir's lead guitarist and vocalist Narek Barsghyan says that the set is conceptual, and given the late scheduling of the presentation to a small assembled audience comprising local and diasporan Armenians, it was only fitting that the band perform in their pyjamas. Now a permanent fixture on the Yerevan rock scene, the young band continue to go from strength and it is only a matter of time before they hit the big time on the international stage.
