Diana Lara

So this is a post about my band. Here is the story I used to jam with Antonio and Orlando back in the fall 2010 when we were in a band called The be happy kids. We would play at my old college until they had to close down the whole doing shows at a campus. Since then we all parted ways and would talk at some occasions of catching up with life. Antonio went on to play for Horror movies while Orlando went on to drum for I drive. As for myself I slowoy began working on a few bands myself. About a few weeks ago I guess we all agreed for a jam session. We ended up getting Jeff who was also on I drive. We began playing at my garage and well Diana Lara began. We were going for a less agressive Braid-esque/100 words for snow-esque twinkle form. Past friday we recorded our first 3 songs. We did make more but didnt had much opportunity to record them yet. We took 6 hours for these 3 songs. Saturday morning I spent mixing them. Yesterday we did our first show at my house playing all of the 5 songs we have so far. 2 of them will be recorded for summer. And well now we are a band. Diana Lara was a old friend of mine which has the same similar story as How I met your mother only as a high school version. As for the ending, it didnt end quiet happy. So I guess that little influence influenced me to call it this name. Don't know. Anyway, we do have about 3 more shows before summer. One is taking place down San Pedro at a garage, along with another set at my house and we are possibly opening up for a new diy in house venue in Torrance. If you like The kossabone red/Braid/100 words for snow you might like us. We also planned on a EP for next year since it may take time to do the whole writing songs process. For now we have a 3 song demo up. Physical copies will be made soon that will include the 2 other songs.
