After a sold out show at Montreal’s Sala Rosa in November, Black Diamond Bay returns to play a series of intimate shows in a smaller more intimate environment. The band will be performing a set of new and older material at L’esco on St Denis.
“We wanted to trail off our album cycle the way it started.. in small bars.”
This is a rare chance to see Black Diamond Bay in an intimate setting, and for only 5 bucks!
Black Diamond Bay has invited The Heavy hands to open the set... “great band, and great drinkers to set the tone properly” http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Heavy-Hands/208487745890?ref=ts
April 29th @ L'esco 4467a Rue St-Denis, montreal - (514) 842-7244

Alexandre Lapointe:
Some of you may have noticed a new guy on stage with us on the last tour. Alex Lapointe is the newest addition to Black Diamond Bay. He’s replacing our friend (and my cousin) Andre Bendahan. There’s no bad blood or drama in this departure. He cut off his hair, and well... we just couldn’t have any of that so…
In all seriousness, Andre has moved on to focus on his film career (director/writer/cameraman/editor) as well as his other band Final Flash. We wish him luck in all his endeavors.
Alex is truly a phenomenal musician and a great person. We’re honored and very excited to have him.
Thanks for your time with us Andre (CF) it was absolutely beautiful, we love you and will miss you.
Now moving forward... welcome Alex!! The future is wide open ;)
Much love and see you on the road soon... loads of touring in the near and distant future.
