Take the power lines back home.

The website is back up and running, and so are we. Diamond Youth is proud to announce that we have been offered the opportunity to cover Sasquatch Music Festival, from May 25-28, 2012. If you're one of the lucky ones with a ticket, find us for a tasty shotgun; if you're stuck at home, stay tuned for pre and post festival coverage! 

Love,

Love's not coming through.

Well I'm standing naked at the edge of my life.

Didn't think I'd make it, to twenty-two years old. 

Dying, dying, ten feet up, ten feet up.

One of the most buzzed about bands from Canadian Music Week is heading to the west coast before jet setting off to Europe. Lucky for us Vancouver Island folk, Half Moon Run is hitting up Victoria’s Lucky Bar and Nanaimo’s Rendez-Vous in promotion of their album, Dark Eyes. 

I found Dark Eyes the perfect background music for writing to but also for throwing on when I’m having friends over for drinks and a hang out. Because they’re good for both work and play, it’ll be fun to witness what they’ll sound like live when I see them at Lucky Bar next week. But the album in my headphones is charming: a delightful combination of folky and moody. Plus, you can also appreciate a band that incorporates harmonies so beautifully. 

What they sound like: Fleet Foxes with a hint of good rock (a la Hey Rosetta! perhaps?) and a pinch of electro. Sounds complicated? No, sounds harmonious. 

Before you hit up their shows, check out their bandcamp here. Details about their west coast tour below. 

April 11 - Victoria @ Lucky Bar
April 12 - Nanaimo @ The Diners Rendezvous
April 16 - Whistler Festival
April 17 - Vancouver @ The Media Club

Golden Baby, c’en est assez de courir te faire désirer. 

Drifting in and out, see the road you’re on.
