Welsh new-wave pop beauty Marina Lambrini Diamandis , better known as Marina and the Diamonds , will be shining up (see what I did there? It's Friday, and I'm beat and only think I'm clever) 9:30 Club for an EARLY show (5:30 pm doors) next Friday, June 17th , and we have a chance for you to win a pair of tickets . Dianmandis translates to “diamonds” from Greek, but "the Diamonds" are actually what she calls her fans. [...]
What a great hump-day musical lineup we have this evening. Definitely something for everyone in this list of goodies... ...

La pobre de Marina Diamandis no tiene paz. Algunos días después de que nuevos temas de su autoría se filtraran en internet , el rostro detrás de Marina & The Diamonds anunció que no sabe cuándo tendrá listo su nuevo disco, el seguidor de The Family Jewels , y que pueden pasar varios años antes de que escuchemos nuevo material de la artista británica. “ No sé cuándo va a salir porque no sé cuándo lo voy a terminar. Podrían ser uno o cinco años. Cuántas más canciones se filtren, [...]
Seeing as we’re still in January (just) and the nominees for this year’s Choice Music Prize were announced exactly a fortnight ago, I thought it might be a good idea to include a run-down of my favourite album releases by ... Continue reading
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , New Releases Ross Gilmore, Redferns Despite homegrown accolades from sources as illustrious as the BBC, BRIT Awards and MTV European Music Awards, Marina and the Diamonds still have one big area left to fully conquer: America. "The thing is, it's not easy to break in America because it's so massive," Maria Diamandis, the UK pop singer-songwriter at the heart of Marina [...]
Mettiamo subito i puntini sulle "I". C'è scritto Marina & The Diamonds , ma in realtà lei è da sola. Si chiam a Marina Lambrini Diamandis (è proprio l'esatta traduzione di "Diamonds"!), ha 25 anni ed è nata in Galles da mamma gallese e padre greco. Il gioco di parole è anche un premio ai fans: lei stessa infatti sul suo myspace dice al suo pubblico "Io sono Marina e voi siete i miei diamanti". E'nettamente una delle cose migliori che circolano adesso in Europa, uno dei fenomeni emergenti della scena indie pop. Bella presenza, sfrontatezza [...]
Just a quick one to let you know I'm back from yet another wonderful holiday break. Once again, I encountered many fascinating creatures, and once I've sorted all the pics, I will post some of the best ones here. Musically, it was rather bleak... I didn't listen to as much as I intended to. It's quite nice to enjoy some peace and quiet from time to time, just relaxing and listening to the sound of music. Most of the songs I've heard were only playing in my mind, and this here was one that constantly kept coming around: [...]
Marina and the Diamonds - LPR NYC 3/15/10. Ironically, she does not look like Shakira. Before Marina Diamandis goes off to the big SXSW this week, she dropped into New York to perform two shows in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I've been obsessed since I've heard "Mowgli's Road" and "I am Not a Robot" on XFM and NME Radio. I've been waiting ages to see her perform live and immediately went to Manhattan to check her out. Ironically, the Marina gig at Le Possion Rouge started super early. Marina played [...]
Toronto - One of the acts I'm more excited about at SXSW is Marina and the Diamonds . Filled with witty lyrics about society, a wide range of musical styles and a soulful voice, her debut album The Family Jewels has been consistently in my rotation since came out on February 22nd. I'm pretty sure she'll be pretty big sometime soon, so it'll be nice to see her in a smallish venue before she reaches Lily Allen levels. Check out her new single, the cleverly written Hollywood . Also, Spinner has an interview with [...]
Di Florence and the Machine avete già trovato tracce qua e là su SoundsBlog, lo stesso dicasi per Elly Jackson dei La Roux . Ellie Goulding l'abbiamo fatta esordire giusto ieri...oggi proseguiamo il tour esplorativo tra le giovani promesse dell' indie-pop britannico con Marina and The Diamonds . All'anagrafe Marina Lambrini Diamandis, classe 1985, gallese come Duffy . La signorina è arrivata 'solo seconda' nei cuori dei critici BBC e di quelli dei BRITs, battuta dalla sopracitata Goulding. Ma proprio non può lamentarsi, [...]
It's all there is to say, really. This song needs to be in the UK top ten by Saturday evening. You know what you've got to do.
Marina and her Diamonds will be returning to Dublin to play TriPod on Harcourt Street on the 27th of May. She's one of the most hyped acts around this year, and could well be 2010's Florence and the Machine. The "and the" bit in the middle is my main reason for claiming that. Do they need to have anything else in common? Tickets cost €19.60, and are on sale now. Watch Marina and the Diamonds 'Hollywood':
In what was, quite frankly, a piss poor turnout last week, we saw The XX swoop to a most underwhelming victory, nevertheless, well done to them. This week, in what is sure to garner a bit more attention, let's hope for a good voting turnout in this week's Single Of The Week vote. The shortlist... Marina and the Diamonds - 'Hollywood' I Blame Coco [...]
Marina (And The Diamonds) Diamandis releases her debut album 'The Family Jewels' via 679/Atlantic on 15th February, preceded by the single 'Hollywood' (1st February). Check Marina on MySpace.
One of my favorite artists Marina & the Diamonds who I first wrote about almost exactly 1 year ago is getting set to release her debut album The Family Jewels a play on her EP name The Crown Jewels in February ! So excited to hear the record! Everything I've heard from her is just golden. Have a feeling 2010 will be huge for this beautiful/talented lady. Her first single from the album is 'Hollywood' [...]
PRESENTS: So here we have IT. A list. 'THE' list. We didn't make a list of the best singles or albums of the past year, or past decade, because we don't look back. We look forward. We push boundaries. We break the mould. Walls? We crash through them like Jackie Chan or Sam and Mark on Hole in The Wall. Fuck you I won't do what you tell me. This is a list of people we like at the moment and we [...]
