Taking a huge detour from our mellower approach to unknown bands, this week we dig deep and hitch a ride with a few gypsies. With… uh… an umbrella? Was it raining on band naming day and Diego was the only dude prepared for the weather? Is it a metaphor for the band being their protector against the harsh “weather” the world has thrown in all of their directions? Was there a vagina involved? To be honest, who the hell know/cares!!! All I know is that these guys can toss some pretty damn good rock in my direction… and have hot chicks in their videos (proof that they can kill it on stage). Here’s a quick snip-it from their website’s bio… followed by their most recent music video “Richardson”, released for the world to drool over just a mere month ago… and, of course, where you can find them online:
Diego’s Umbrella are San Francisco’s Ambassadors of Gypsy Rock. Internationally known and revered, their lively stage show, great songs, antics and humor have garnered them a cult following around the world.
With a mix of Eastern European tradition, pop sensibility and punk rock energy, they have had crowds going wild for years. “Where Gogol Bordello meets Muse. These underground heroes will soon be international superstars.”
