Anyone taking this seriously really needs to go outside, give themselves an uppercut, retrieve their IQ from under the mat, and return with a sense of fucking humor...

I highly recommend reading the 'About Diamondsnake' column on the link (if you're so inclined). It will no doubt enlighten some of the more cerebrally challenged amongst us.

I think this is brilliant by the way. I love it when artists cross genres like this.

Genre-juxtaposition isn't necessarily good nor original.

no wonder they only have 150 or so friends...it kinda blows.

im all for having fun/jamming with your friends, but i think this is too serious a venture taken for it to be really warranted.

Hilarity ensues.

(Hope no one's taking this band too seriously--they're almost certainly a spoof band.)

In all honesty I'm pretty sure they're not. Which is the scary part.

"In all honesty I'm pretty sure they're not. Which is the scary part."

Ok mr unicorn thing, which of the following gives away the 'serious' nature of this band:

"Moby called up his friend Phil Costello, perhaps best known as the frontman for Bee Gees metal tribute band Tragedy"

"To assist them in bringing their aural vision to life with suitable thunder, Moby and Phil then enlisted Tomato from the rock band the Sound of Urchin, and Dave Hill, a world-class entertainer"

"Diamondsnake entered Headgear studios in Brooklyn early one morning and emerged later that night having recorded and mixed 15 songs in their entirety with esteemed and bearded engineer Scott Norton, stopping only briefly to eat some vegan Chinese food that they all agreed was pretty good."

"the men of Diamondsnake somehow managed to address every topic and emotion worthy of honoring through song. Love, lust, good women, bad women, the power of rock, and predatory sea creatures."

I mean, for fucks sake, you're telling us you somehow 'missed' the humor in all of that? Seriously? Or are you just taking the piss? I'm looking at your avatar and thinking this dude must have some kind of sense of humor going here. Please say it's so...
