A Los Angeles-based band composed of Armenian-Americans, Kevin George and the Touch, will depart Wednesday for a concert tour of Soviet Armenia to help raise funds for earthquake relief. According to a representative of the band, this will be the first time a group of Armenian heritage will perform Western pop music in Soviet Armenia. The 15-day, eight-venue tour, including already-sold-out shows at soccer stadiums, will serve as a prelude to a planned fund-raising festival involving several Armenian-American pop groups.
