Really glad to see the Diggs on their home ground in Brooklyn. The band rocked out the intimate space at Magnetic Fields (which has a nice whiskey/bourbon selection). The band somehow always gets their guitar songs to build with such a steady momentum until it explodes. For some reason many bands can’t replicate this sound live as they do on their studio album (like Mazarin). They played a great set and did a new song I didn’t know starting with the lyric “I just got out of the shower, My apartment is on fire” which for some reason brings up some interesting visual connotations.
Next up were The Mugs, another Brooklyn band that I’ve been meaning to see for quite some time now. The four piece do guitar rock with good melodies blending different sounds and genres of music. Although there’s nothing that ground breaking here, the lead singer does have a great voice and when he’s on the keys, that’s where the band shines.
