About Me

Jason, Kip and Jay have played together as Dianogah (pronounced Dye-ah-NO-gah) since January 1995. This is a very long time...and the band is fully aware of this.
Dianogah's core instrumentation is as a trio of two bass guitarists and one drummer. They have toured the US extensively, traveled throughout Europe and played in South America. In their twelve years as a band, Dianogah has toured with Man or Astro Man?, Blonde Redhead, Shellac, Silkworm, June of 44 and Don Caballero, and shared the stage with Sebadoh, Hum, The For Carnation, Ui, Rachels, Shipping News, Seam and Andrew Bird.
When not touring in their critically acclaimed van, Jason, Jay and Kip enjoy talking about the price of real estate. They also really enjoy sushi, Hot Dougs, books by Neal Stephenson or Haruki Murakami, clean socks, 'Krispy Kreme' donuts and the country of Italy. Sometimes, two or more members of the band accidentally wear the same t-shirt or the same type of shoes.
Jay also makes posters.Jason also designs books.
