Next up were Brooklyn-based indie charmers, DIIV (pronounced “dive”). The name might not ring a bell as they’ve just recently changed it (like, today).…

Don’t let the cold weather keep you from checking out stellar live music! Allow the languid sounds of Brooklyn’s DIIV to warm your heart and ease your holiday-rattled mind. The band will be making a stop in Minneapolis on December 15th (their third this year alone!) They impressed Amy when she saw them open up for Frankie Rose back in April and in September they were at the Triple Rock Social Club supporting fellow shoegaze champions, Wild Nothing. They’re back at the Triple Rock again this time with spastic garage-rockers Japandroids.
Zachary Cole Smith (who has played with friends Beach Fossils as a touring guitarist) put together DIIV last year, recruiting guitarist Andrew Bailey, bassist Devin Ruben Perez, and drummer Colby Hewitt. After putting out a handful of singles, DIIV released Oshin in June of this year. The well-received album has garnered the band much interest from the indie music press and fans alike, but it’s their energetic execution of the gorgeous, reverb-y tunes at their live shows that really have people talking. D’ya notice the water themes here? Apparently, all the band members are water signs. As a Pisces, I should be in good company.
