Diamond Nights

New York's Diamond Nights features Morgan Phalen (vocals/guitar), Rob Laakso (guitar/synthesizers), Seth Rumsey (bass), and Tim Traynor (drums). The freewheeling indie rock foursome formed in 2003, and together they create a brash, hard rock-inspired, song-driven sound tailored for fans of Queens of the Stone Age, Priestess, and Jeff Buckley. In March 2005, Diamond Nights issued the Once We Were Diamonds EP, their first release for Kemado. Their full-length Popsicle arrived in September. European tour dates with Mando Diao followed into spring 2006. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
