About a year ago we invited Diamond Rings to stop by and perform some of his songs for our freshly minted session series. And so, the man himself soon visited Feliz hts. during a brief west coast stint with Twin Shadow for a close and personal look at the songwriting behind the artist. Armed with just his 6-string, John O shared “It’s Not My Party” and a rad rendition of “Wait and See,” performed on the fire escape right outside of our window. Camera acrobatics and all, we captured the moment!
Check out this exclusive and previously unreleased performance footage from Diamond Rings below, and be sure to mark you calendars for his new full length Free Dimensional dropping this October.
