Diff'rent strokes. All I know is that I saw them after three boring
sets by three terrible acts who clearly would have performed exactly
the same songs exactly the same way if there had been no one in the
room at all, and then Lavender Diamond came on and all four of them
made a sincere effort to actually connect with the audience as
performers in a way that never would have even occurred to any of the
other bands. The fact that they actually seemed to give a crap about
the audience made an impression. Sorry that it didn't happen for you
the night you saw them, but what I saw was a band that seemed sincere
in their attempt to entertain us after nearly two hours' worth of
smirky hipster dinks.
Although if Becky's voice annoys you, I am warning you right now:
don't ever, ever, EVER go see Clare and the Reasons. Your head will
explode.
