Today Moby revealed on his website that he has assembled a heavy metal band with “world-class entertainer” Dave Hill (Valley Lodge), Phil Costello (Satanicide, Valley Lodge) and Tomato (The Sound of Urchin): DiamondSnake.
“Combining such disparate influences as rock, hard rock, metal, and heavy metal, New York City’s Diamondsnake was borne out of a shared love for entering a small, dark, and musty room, plugging into a few amps, and playing as loud as possible for a seriously long time.”
And with song titles like “Rock and Raw,” “What the World Needs Now is Rock” and “Storm the Fucking Kastle” they aren’t kidding. Explaining via a “journal” post on his website, Moby revealed that the band hatched from a conversation that he had with Costello in January. Later the duo enlisted Hill and Tomato, and presto: a band was born. “Love, lust, good women, bad women, the power of rock, and predatory sea creatures- they are all here, celebrated in words and music by Diamondsnake.”
This month the group took to the studio and recorded a total of 15 songs, seven of which can be streamed on the band’s Facebook and MySpace pages. DiamondSnake will make its live debut when Moby, Costello, Hill and Tomato hit New York’s Highline Ballroom June 17.
Yeah! Oh fucking this is rock and roll. Welcome back sweetie!
It’s final. Moby can’t do anything good. This may be the worst band I’ve ever heard in my life. How the fuck is this even called Metal? Lady GaGa has more balls to it than this trifling puke piss bucket of shit
Oh no, it’s official, man. These guys rock! Haven’t heard the whole disc yet, but from what I haven’t been able to take my eyes off on you tube, it’s brilliant! Never thought Moby would put together a band like this, but damn if it doesn’t rock! I may have to do a nice blog post tribute to them, Tomato knows why.
