My Brightest Diamond - Whelans

wohoo, this was such an enjoyable gig. Miss Diamond really knows how to capture an audience with her electric rock avande garde sound. Think of a mix between PJ Harvey and Anthony with a pinch of Nina Simone. The first part of the set is all solo due to the absence of a band member. Nonetheless, it all sounds perfect. Songs from her record Bring me the work horse mixed with some Simone and Prince songs captures the heart of many of us. The second part is played with an Irish substitute drummer and a bass player. This section just rocks our socks off. And we were all impressed with the temp drummer.
