Band: Diamond Dogs Venue: Changes One, South Shields, UK Date: 14 May 2001
The day was off to
a good start as we went venturing down to Changes One, for the last and
final instore gig in the "Shoebox" before the shop moves over the road to
the New "Arena Shoebox".
There was a fantastic new Swedish band called the Diamond Dogs performing
some of their songs from their new album "As Your Greens Turn Brown".
These guys are proper rock n rollers. You know when you know that a band
is just going to be "sound", well these guys were.
They were soooo friendly and genuine and musically were just spot on.
There wasn't as many people turned up for the mini-gig as there should
have been, especially as it was free, but these guys gave it their all
showing there musical talents and expertise.
They played renditions of "Mighty, Mighty Mountain", "Goodbye, Miss Jill"
"Get the Monkey Off" to name just a few of the half-hour set.
A good time was had by all, including the band who managed to get a write
up in the local Shield paper as their music could be heard throughout the
town centre.
