Moby has announced he has formed a heavy metal inspired rock band called Diamondsnake, alongside “world class entertainer” Dave Hill, Phil Costello (Satancide, Valley Lodge) and a guy named Tomato (The Sound of Urchin).
Diamondsnake entered the studio last month where they managed to record 15 songs, nearly half of which can be found streaming on the band’s myspace.
Meanwhile Moby’s latest single Wait For Me was released this week, and the artist is set to release a remix album on 17th May.
This weekend’s Camden Crawl was a great success at the Barfly and left us with some serious hangovers to deal with! The bands set the venue on fire one by one as crowds poured in and out of the venues listed as part of the weekends events. We met so many amazing people, loads who had discovered Crossfire for the first time and decided to stay longer than they expected, some who got naked, others who were so wasted that they were couldn’t leave the venue anyway.
All in all it was a total blast. Here’s a few snaps courtesy of Tom Halliday, expect a full video edit of the day, video interviews from the bands and a gallery as soon as we regroup this week. Thanks so much if you came down to support our first Crawl!
SWEET DREAMS (Gash/Vice) got the dance floor pumping!
CHICKENHAWK and ROLO TOMASSI brought the rock and took the roof off!
STEREO:TYPE remixed us into submission!
GOLD PANDA brought eclectic perfection!
THE TREETOP FLYERS got twang brothers!
ROLLING DEEP!
Full gallery and video dropping soon…

With their debut full length just around the corner, Tweak Bird will arrive on our shores next month to play a handful of UK dates. Having wowed audiences back in 2008 with their performance at ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas event, these promise to be some incredible shows.
While only a two-piece (consisting of brothers Caleb and Ashton Bird plus additional touring member John McCowen) Tweak Bird still manage to make an almighty racket. Although at the band’s core are Sabbath inspired riffs and pounding drums, they also bring a huge range of unusual instruments to the table – from Theremin to flute, saxophone and gong.
Needless to say, their live show is not to be missed, and their tour stops in the following cities;
12th – London The Gaff
13th – Brighton The Great Escape
21st – London Stag & Dagger
22nd – Birmingham Capsule
23rd – London Brixton Windmill
