Gothamist Band of the Week: The Diggs
The Diggs are: Timothy Lannen, Robert Haussmann, Charlie Schmid
We've had The Diggs on our radar for a little over a year now, and it's always refreshing to put the album back on and remember exactly how on point these guys are. After seeing them for the first time in a long time at our Co-Sponsored CBGB's party last week, we realized they were long overdue for a BOTW mention. Their emotional vocals over the layered guitars get us in the gut every time.
The next chance to see them live is this Saturday at one of our favorite new Brooklyn spots, Union Hall. They'll be there with the curiously named Gritty Midi Gang. Here are some MP3s, more on Myspace.
The Diggs - Trouble Everyday (Live) (mp3)
The Diggs - Stagg (mp3)

I thought the Gin Blossoms were the band of the week. Do these guys sound like the Gin Blossoms?
and, like most local bands, they are here depicted in their natural habitat - a rooftop.
hooray, another band on a rooftop! Ugh.
wow. that photo's got some serious distortion going on....
I like how the guy in the middle expresses his individuality by wearing another shirt over his dark t-shirt.
Much better recommendation than last week.. these guys are very listenable
this photo also doesn't show how hot rob is.
