Hey hey! The dates for our second-half-of-summer tour, which we're calling Promises To Deliver II: To Awesome Fest 7 (and beyond) And Back, are up now. In fact, they're over on the right hand side of this website! Check them out.
Are we coming to your town? Well, this tour goes from Arkansas to Florida, then back up to Minneapolis, across the north to Seattle, south along the coast to San Diego, back across the mountains to Denver, and across the plains back to Arkansas. There's lots of America there. Hopefully we'll get to see you and hang out! If not... let us know that you want the BDB to come through wherever the hell it is you live, and we'll try and hit your city, town, or island manor next time we jump in the van.
For this tour, our good buddy Braden Franklin from Russellville, AR will be subbing for our home drummer Mike Cranberry. Braden's the man! We met him when he was playing in Half Raptor, who were an excellent band and who are missed. Keeping us all in line will be our man Matt Campbell, who has roadie'd, merch'd, and otherwise been awesome on most of our previous tours.
Last but not least, don't forget that all Nato Coles & The Blue Diamond Band shows are doubly enjoyable when you know the songs on the new album. Yup! Get that thing from ADD Records, or Dead Broke Records, or wherever you like, really. Download it for free if you must! You're taking away our spiced salmon cakes and handing us dumpstered bagels when you do that, but dumpstered bagels still get the job done and the most important thing is to ROCK OUT.
Allright! Hope to see you on the road this August and September. Stay free, folks. Tacos forever,
-Nato
p.s. some people were asking me to link to my recent interview Minnesota Public Radio interview. Not many; some. Here it is: Nato Coles interview on MPR
Banda Macho!
L to R: Sam, Mike, Luke, Nato, Matt

A Quick Bit Of Download Codes News
Hey everyone, real quick: if you bought an album from us and it didn't have a download code, well that was our fault. But now! We have them.
Email natopaisano@gmail.com for a download code, if you bought an LP and want one. If you didn't buy an LP, it would be unethical to ask for a free download code, wouldn't it? Not that we'd hate you or anything, we've all cut corners here and there in our lives... just be nice to us, ok? Thanks.
Tour's awesome! See y'all out there,

Summer Is Here, And So Are We
Hey everyone! Nato here, on this hot summer afternoon, writing to you from a bunker buried in the heart of Dinkytown, Mpls. We have our new LP available now - Promises To Deliver has arrived!
On Saturday June 22nd, we're playing two record release parties: an early one at Hymiue's Records (3820 E. Lake St, Mpls. 3pm. All-ages. With Lutheran Heat), and a later show at the Turf Club in St Paul (1601 W. University Av, St Paul. 9pm. 21+. With The Frozen Teens, and The Right Here). You'll be able to get your copy of our new album on LP at both shows.
The CD version, which Eager Beaver Records from Japan (along with ADD here in America) is putting out, will be available soon. For now, we have a ton of download codes which you can use to put a digital version of PTD on your computer or iThing or whatever.
There's been a little bit of cool buzz around this thing, as well. Yikes, Minnesota Public Radio even took the time to talk to me! In the "Press Box" section of this blogspot/website (on the left side of the screen), I've added a couple links to interviews and reviews. But for the sake of convenience, here they are, front and center:
MPR interview with Nato and article
Hymie's Records reviews Promises To Deliver
CityPages's Gimme Noise interview with Nato and article
Anyway, enjoy the weather, get some good outdoor stuff in when it's nice, maybe find a porch to watch the thunderstorms from at night, and we'll see you soon - after all, we're touring the nation this summer and we know you're out there. Thanks for supporting this band, everyone. We really appreciate it and we love you all. Be excellent to each other, follow the Bent Outta Shape Code Of Ethics, and I'll see you in hell.
Tacos!
