BIOGRAPHY

We are a Leeds based band called Black Diamond Bay. There are seven of us. We play electro-folk. We regard ourselves as the first band to do this properly. Some of us are from Lithuania. Most of us are not. We have just released an EP called Ten Thousand Hours which you can buy on iTunes. Ten thousand hours is apparently the requisite practice time to achieve genius according to some university in Michigan. They studied The Beatles and Bill Gates and other famous people. They all spent ten thousand hours getting great. We're not saying we're great, we're just buying into the theory. It appeals to us. We have had tracks played on Kiss FM, Xfm, BBC6 and BBC Radio Leeds as well as various internet radio stations, including Adam and Joe Coke Music Podcast. The DJs all seemed to like them. They said nice things. John Kennedy used the word 'Beautiful'?. I think he's heavy into electro-folk now. We made the cover of Sandman magazine under our old name ('Tarentum', don't ask). They said nice stuff too. They said we were as good as any in our field. That seemed to involve Massive Attack and Portishead but they don't play electro-folk. They wouldn't even dare. They also used the word 'astonishing'. Metro said we were 'spine-tingling' and we're 'a modern Classic' according to Who's Jack, and 'F**king Amazing' according to No Title. Traffic said we were 'Poised and delicate'. They booked us to play at Kendal Calling last summer. It was one hundred dollars! Anyhow, please take a few minutes to have a listen to us. We all really hope you like the songs. If you like them enough maybe you'll even come and see us play. Electro-folk is always better in the flesh. That is a known fact.
