Xmas News Update (And Details Of Our Grumpy's Residency)
Hello, everybody! Nato here, on Christmas Day Night, taking a break from playing with the three dogs who live at my parents house to write you a big old update on the Blue Diamond Band's upcoming (and even recent) activities.
I'm playing a few solo sets over the next two weeks - in Milwaukee, Brooklyn NY, and Columbus OH. Then, the band will be popping up here and there around the upper Midwest in January, so keep an eye out.
Ok, on to the good stuff. Grumpy's Bar in downtown Minneapolis has booked us for a residency, every Saturday in February. We'll be playing two sets each night, but to make each night special, we've asked some friends of ours to join us on the various shows. And we're going to make each night a little different as well, with special events and the like. Check the show listings on the right side of the page for more info.
Most important, on Saturday February 18th, we are going to try a project called Karaoke with the Blue Diamond Band! Here's how that works: You pick a song, maybe something you've wanted to sing with a band but never got a chance, and let us know that you want to sing it by emailing natopaisano@gmail.com (put the word Karaoke in the subject line). In the message, let us know the song, artist, and particular version if necessary. Depending on how obscure your request is, it would be helpful if you include a sound file of the song - any quality will do.
We'll take the first 11 or 12 requests that we think we can pull off in the order we get them, learn them, and then on the night of February 18th, we will be your backing band on the song you've chosen! Hopefully, this will be a fun and awesome (and hilarious) kind of show, and if it works out, we'll definitely do it again.

Quick Update
Hey, here's a very quick update for you all. First off, if you're a resident of the Twin Cities, you can look out for our new 7" as well as our split with King Friday at a couple local record stores... currently they're in stock at Extreme Noise and Hymie's in Minneapolis, and soon we'll have them in a few others.
And you should definitely click over to natocoles.bandcamp.com, because there are a few more songs up there as of now, including the outtake from our new 7" called "I-94" which is currently unavailable pretty much anywhere else...
Second, there are now quite a few more upcoming shows listed here, which we're really excited about. While Mike Cranberry is on tour with The Manix for late November and much of December, we won't be playing much, but as you can see to the right, we've got a lot of great Blue Diamond rock'n'rollage ready to go when he gets home! Also, Nato is playing a few solo shows near the end of December, including one in Brooklyn! So if you're out there, come say hi! (All requests will be honored if at all possible.)
