![FANG ISLAND, JAMES BLAKE, TWIN SHADOW [SUGGESTED NYC CONCERTS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3766281_lg.jpg)
Another week here in New York City means another week of live music that will blow your mind. Though James Blake , Yacht ,and Twin Shadow are in town, it's Brooklyn-by-way-of Rhode Island band Fang Island that snagged our #1 concert of the week spot. Why you ask? These dudes are outrageous performers who know how to have a good time. They're also playing one of my favorite venues, Glasslands Gallery . It's a small place filled with strange taxidermy, mythological creatures and a backdrop of puffy clouds. Do yourself a [...]

I'd like to open by quoting my all-time favorite tweet: @TruePanther: To those that doubted we could bring you a more problematic set of google terms than "Girls+Album" we bring you: "Girls+Vomit" @girlsSF I'm not sure you can write a better announcement for a single than that, but I do know that "Diamond Rings+Band", while [Read Full Post...]
Photo credit: blogTO I would follow Diamond Rings (@stayfierce) aka John O'Regan even if I wasn't obsessed with his music, just because he pretty much has the best Twitter handle ever. While you can count on the @stayfierce feed for updates on new Diamond Rings remixes and music videos, O'Regan mostly tweets about his other love: #fashion. He constantly has his stylist, @sweetsalting, in tow, and the two of them together come up with crazily unique makeup treatments and stage outfits. Follow @stayfierce for an [...]
![[Listen] Twin Shadow - "Changes"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3723280_lg.jpg)
Earlier today, LA's KCRW premiered a new track from new-wave rock outfit Twin Shadow titled "Changes," which is now available for download here . The track, which you can stream below, is George Lewis Jr. and co.'s take on "Circus Is Gone" by 80s band Bagarre This is what Lewis Jr. had to say about the track: Close to a year ago I discovered one of my favorite bands. Like most of my favorite bands I stumble on them accidentally while looking for rare music on youtube. The band was called Bagarre, some [...]
PS I love You has teamed up with tourmate Diamond Rings for the track "Leftovers." The song's video, directed by Colin Medley, is the second clip PS I Love You has done with the director. In addition to perfomance footage and candid shots of the bands on tour, the video shows what the band does best, [...]
Keith Klenowski Just to be clear: filling Massey Hall for two nights in a row is no mean feat. Not many bands can do it once, let alone twice, but when The National did just that last June in support of their breakout album High Violet , it felt like an arrival - the best and most natural setting for a band that had graduated from the bar circuit and were taking their rightful place in the city's most hallowed room, hopefully for years to come. [...]
Toronto's Diamond Rings has unveiled his latest video for his single, "You & Me" from his debut album Special Affections , which is available now on Astralwerks. The video was directed by Jeff Scheven and depicts two kids who join forces to take everything the world has in store for them, even bullies and monsters that are out there. According to John O'Regan (Diamond Rings), the video hits pretty close to home as it was stylized to represent experiences from his childhood. In his own words, "'You & Me' is [...]
Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Diamond Rings Video: 'You and Me' Highlight: "'You and Me' is about transcending adversity by harnessing the power of a shared creative consciousness," Diamnod Rings tells Spinner. "The video is a stylized representation of my own childhood experiences and hopefully demonstrates that our differences should be celebrated instead of repressed. I'm thrilled with the final cut and humbled by the energy that the crew and actors invested in bringing our vision to life. I hope [...]

Get More: Diamond Rings, Music, More Music Videos Diamond Rings has released a quirky and adorably cute video for "You & Me." Premise is a boy and girl spend a summer day dressing up, painting each others faces only to be bullied by three older boys. The girl stands up to the bullies and uses [...]
Diamond Rings dropped the video for "You & Me" a little earlier, a whimsical clip involving some dream-obsessed kids. Works for me. Also John O'Regan rambles around like some kind of indie rock sorcerer. Which is cool. Read More...
Get More: Diamond Rings , Music , More Music Videos A warning before you watch the video for Diamond Rings' "You and Me": Prepare for a cute overload, as we watch two kids help each other vanquish bullies, paint their faces, before they conjure up some spirits and take off in a space ship. It's basically a commercial for the importance of imagination, sponsored by the Bowie-indebted dance rock of Diamond Rings. Which is sort of perfect, in a way. Watch it above.

20102s music season brought in quite a cast of characters and unique albums. However, one was able to successfully match artistic integrity with genuine stage presence and that was Toronto's Diamond Rings . Lead by multi-instrumentalist and uber-talented John O, Diamond Rings is an ambitious and brave direction toward meaningful dance music. 20102s Special Affections , his debut, received positive attention from the likes of Pitchfork and true fans of vulnerable and honest pop music. Like a soundtrack to a late night drive through the city, the album is bright, intelligent, and a fair display of what John [...]
