Often some things have to end in order to start something new. That's about how the Black Diamonds started few years after the break-up of 'Traffic Jam'.
Mix up a good evening, some beers and a couple of guys and you got the ingredients to form a new band. And that's basicly how the guitar players found their drummer. Soon after the last place of the bass player was also filled...you know, a friend of a friend of a friend got a friend....something like that. The band was complete in December 2004.
Anyway, all the the band lacked of then was the name. But also that problem was solved by Fate and the Diamonds started rehearsing and played a few Coversongs in their first year.
For 2006 the guys started doing their own songs, of which more and more should be presented during the live shows - of course combined with some rock cover songs.
