New York City’s rock & roll adventurers Diamond Nights have just announced another run of North American tour dates before year’s end. The trek will begin with a headlining tour of the West Coast to start on November 10 in Seattle. Then, on November 22, the guys will join forces with ascot-wearing big haired Canadian psudo-punks Hot Hot Heat for a series of supporting dates across the Southeast.
Diamond Nights will be supporting their debut album, Popsicle, along the way. Released September 13, the album is packed with songs that will conjure up memories of Fast Times At Ridgemont High, free skates, Thin Lizzy and T. Rex, all the while sounding uniquely modern. Having just caught this band in Chicago a couple weeks back (and a few other times before that), I feel safe in saying that they are at the top of their game and one of the most fun and entertaining bands I saw all summer. If you can, go see them. Here’s the tour details.
