DIEMONDS TOUR POSTER

Mumbai, Maharashtra, December 8, 2009 /India PRwire/ -- Toronto, Canada's premier rock n' roll band Diemonds is coming to tour India December 11-23, 2009, where they will bring their fun party music to a brand new country! The tour will celebrate the Indian release of their debut CD/Album "In the Rough" on Percept Networks, as well as a released their video "Highway." They will be in Shillong at Polo Ground December 12, with Dimapur, New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune & Goa dates awaiting confirmation. They will be representing Canada on the Bombay Rock Association's City Rocks festival in Shillong. To see Diemonds live in an absolute MUST!

The band features sassy, young, Indo-Canadian singer Priya Panda, whose parents immigrated to Toronto from Mumbai in the 1970's. Born in Canada, yet fluent in Marathi, a great Indian cook and a true rock star, Priya is the perfect blend of East meets West. Diemonds playing in India will be a life-changing experience. Diemonds is following in the footsteps of other rock acts, like The Scorpions, Mr. Big, and Iron Maiden who have played at Polo Ground in the past. "It'll be a spiritual journey for me. I've wanted to come to India with a band since I read about the Beatles coming here when I was a small child. This will be my first time out with Diemonds and I know it won't be the last. Get ready India!," says Priya Panda.

2010 will see Diemonds continue to establish themselves as an international touring band, sponsored by Jagermeister. Diemonds is proud to see their video "Highway" in rotation on MuchMusic in Canada. Their album SOLD OUT in Canada as soon as it was released.

"Residing in the nether-region between '70s glam-punk and '80s hair metal" Diemonds has taken cues from veterans like Guns n' Roses, Aerosmith, and KISS and created their own loud rock n' roll.

Powerhouse and Indian beauty Priya Panda takes centre stage on vocals, C.C. Diemond is lead guitar slayer and a thunderous rhythm section is rounded out by Cuzo on bass guitar and Al Biddle (ex-Toxic Holocaust/Rammer) on drums. They've been called "Young, Tough, & Canadian" and this band of party animals prove that there's no such thing as too loud. Long Live Party Rock & ROLL!
