Armed with keyboards and a large backing band, she creates sounds that have been honed from a range of influences to create ballads and new wave classics, resulting in a large fan base and a bright future. So when she tours once again, you can ensure you are witness to the show by purchasing Marina and the Diamonds tickets as soon as possible.
Contrary to popular belief, the ‘Diamonds’ part of her name does not refer to her backing band and is actually a reference to her full name Marina Lambrini Diamandis. That said, when she takes to the stage she is backed up by a team of talented musicians, with Paul Carr and Jonathan Shone both on electronic keyboards and Dan Gulino on the bass. The result is a sound that has been given significant critical attention and even allowed her to get to number two on the BBC Sound of 2010 poll.
Her debut full-length album took the form of “The Family Jewels”, which was released in 2010. She has also released three EPs, including her very first release “Mermaid vs. Sailor EP” in 2007 and two follow-ups which took the forms of “The Crown Jewels EP” in 2009 and “The American Jewels EP” in 2010. These releases featured some stand-out songs and singles that include “I Am Not a Robot”, “Obsessions”, “Mowgli’s Road” and “Hollywood”. With influences ranging from Blondie and PJ Harvey to The Distillers and Nirvana, she has made a mark of her own on the music industry and is set for great things down the line.
So if you want to witness a stand out artist, who has been recognised by the industry as a talented musician and someone to keep an eye on, then get hold of Marina and the Diamond tickets and enjoy one of her upcoming shows. It will be chance to experience songs that have earned her BRIT Award nominations and a place on BBC’s Sound of 2010 list and will provide a memorable experience.
