The Girl's Attractive

Diamond Nights

Kemado

WE SAY

A second consecutive Record of the Day for New York four piece Diamond Nights - we are fans. The "Girl's Attractive" hook is so instant and familiar that it had us Googling the lyrics to check it's not a cover (it's not). It's like everything cool about the '70s, distilled into three and a bit minutes. SXSW gigs: March 16 - 3:45pm - Indie 103/Spaceland Show; 6:30pm - 89.3 The Current Live on Air March 17 - 9pm - Kemado Showcase; 4:45pm - Vice Party March 18 - 4:30pm - Cream Vintage; 7:30pm - Todd P at Ms. Bea's
