ReviewsBest Live Band - Denim and Diamonds If you’ve seen the film Athens, Ga.—Inside/Out, which documented the club scene in the South’s hippest town in the early ’80s, or if you hung around now-defunct Albany hot spots like the Halfmoon Café at the end of that decade, you’re familiar with the variety of art-damaged, gleefully—almost maniacally—inclusive pop acts that once roamed the community centers, hippie coffee shops and impromptu performance spaces back in the pre-Nirvana, pre-grunge-purity days. Denim and Diamonds’ live show is a throwback—in the greatest sense of that word—to an era when bands would try anything to entertain themselves (and the audience, if they could). Imagine your younger brother and his Xbox-wizard friends drunk for the first time on cheap beer, dressed in your old marching band uniforms, playing songs inspired by your Suicide and Plastic Bertrand records into their laptops, then remixing the shit out of them there on the spot and performing interpretive dance to the results. You’re about halfway there. Links |
