| Symon’s New Blue Diamonds |
When listening to Symon’s New Blue Diamonds you may get the urge to watch Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. Using songs that were originally composed by Symon Michael, they combine carnival style music with a little rock and roll flair. The 6-piece rock band is comprised of the standard power trio (bass, guitar, drums) and a revolving horn section that includes a clarinet, flute, trumpet, tenor baritone sax. The band does not try to resist the carnival moniker, but embraces it by dressing the part in clown style makeup and oversize suits. On songs like “Good Stuff,” they sound like they could be playing “When The Saints Go Marching In,” but with a rock drummer. “Freewheeling Sex Carnival” shows off the talents of the horn section. The beginning of “I Was a Teenager Teenager” could be a Rolling Stones song until the horns come in and become something completely different. Sometimes they will throw in an electric guitar, other times some noodling flutes, but it’s all just the type of stuff you’d expect from a bunch of carnies. http://www.myspace.com/symonsnewbluediamonds by Shannon Carlin
