Diamond Nights have just announced a slew of tour dates following the release of their new EP Once We Were Diamonds, out May 10th on Kemado. Diamond Nights record the kind of music that makes you thirst and sweat for an opportunity to witness it live. The music screams to be coupled with sleeveless tees, metal choreography, dirt, exasperated female cries and sweet haircuts. At this point, I’d like to throw in Vice’s review of this awesome band, because it’s so right on. “ It’s Thin Lizzy all sexed up with some Ric Ocasek silk on top… if you don’t agree that this shit rules, you’re a crazy person.” Don’t be a crazy person.
