Diamond Rugs

With New Madrid, The Sapwoods

Doors 8:00 PM

Founded in 2011 as a side project for John McCauley (Deer Tick), Diamond Rugs is a supergroup collaboration by members of Deer Tick, Black Lips, Dead Confederate, Six Finger Satellite and Los Lobos. Their critically acclaimed, self-titled first album was released in 2012. Hit songs like “Gimme a Beer” and “Call Girl Blues” introduced their signature vibe as rowdy, energetic, and full of cheeky lyrics.

Diamond Rugs guitarist Ian St. Pé (Black Lips) has summed up their attitude towards their live shows by saying, “If you wanna be smart, read a book. If you wanna have a good time, come see the Diamond Rugs.” Their second album “Cosmetics” has a release date of February 24, and has been described by the band as “a swinging, swaying set of impromptu party rockers that betray a hint of tomorrow morning’s hangover and the introspective clarity one can find in the come down.”
