Nato Coles & the Blue Diamond Band (Minneapolis, MN) are a mainstay of the Twin Cities punk
rock/rock’n’roll music scene, dangerously on the verge of achieving veteran status at this point!
Formed in 2010 by Nato (Used Kids, Modern Machines) and drummer Mike Cranberry (The
Manix), the band has released several EPs and two full-length albums: Promises To Delivery
(2013) and Live At Grumpy's (2016). Playing a high-energy blend of punk rock/power pop mixed
with a roots-of-rock’n’roll drive and influence, they’ve toured nationally a few times, and are
always running around the Upper Midwest, stomping all over the clubs and bar scenes and
making sure everyone involved has a cool and raucous time! Their new album Flyover is out
November 15 2019 on Don Giovanni Records (Screaming Females, Sheer Mag, Lee Bains III &
the Glory Fires, Ergs!). Nato Coles & the Blue Diamond Band adhere to a two part code – 1. Be
excellent to each other, and 2. Play loud!
