The Ambulance
Hailing collectively from Los Angeles, CA,
the Ambulance is a tightly knit alternative
metal trio produced by System of a Down songwriter/producer/guitarist Daron Malakian.
Spit flies from the speakers as the fusion of the raw, maniacal, angst driven talent of vocalist/guitarist, A.J. Lopez , founder and song writer for TheAmbulance since 1997 with Abe nesbitt on bass and guitar and Ronen Gordon on drums

we have played over a 100 times at least in Los Angeles alone. I have played at clubs like TheRoxy, TheWhiskey, TheTroubadour, TheKeyClub, TheViperRoom, TheHouseOfBlues,TheFillmore.
