Coles, Nato -and The Blue Diamond Band-
Flyover
Nato Coles & the Blue Diamond Band (Minneapolis, MN) are a mainstay of the Twin Cities rock n roll music scene and are, at this point, dangerously close to achieving "veteran" status. Formed in 2010 by Nato (Used Kids, Modern Machines) and drummer Mike Cranberry (The Manix), the band has released a number of EPs and two full-length albums: Promises To Deliver (2013 & 3025 deluxe edition) and Live At Grumpy's (2016). They perform a style of high-energy punk rock shot through with a roots-of-rock 'n roll drive. They've toured nationally a few times, but are constantly gigging around the Upper Midwest.
