DIET CIG IN CONCERT:
Garage rockers Diet Cig marry fuzzy guitars with cheerful melodies to create songs that provide plenty of bouncy fun for fans. The band switches from darling to snarling in the blink of an eye, and each compact musical outburst adds fuel to their blazing punk rock party. Frontwoman Alex Luciano twists and shouts through each anthemic melody, kicks her guitarís amplifier into overdrive, and bounds around the stage to the cathartic beat. Meanwhile drummer Noah Bowmanís surf-inspired rhythms help audiences ride the groove of standouts like ìScene Sickî, ìDinner Dateî, and ìPool Boyzî. The fun starts the second Diet Cig pick up their instruments, and ticket buyers will find themselves instantly swept up in the infectious beat of their playful rock.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Singer/guitarist Alex Luciano and drummer Noah Bowman met at a 2014 house party when Luciano interrupted Bowmanís bandís set to ask for a lighter. Even though Bowman didnít have a light, the two SUNY New Platz students formed an instant friendship. Under the name Diet Cig, they put their own fun-loving spin on the punk and surf rock they loved. Their ten-minute-long debut EP Over Easy wowed editors at leading music publications like Pitchfork, Stereogum, Rolling Stone, and Spin. The critical praise caught the attention of Father/Daughter Records, who added the group to their roster, partially funded a national tour, and released their 7î follow-up single Sleep Walk/ Dinner Date. Diet Cigís riveting, enthusiastic live performances have left fans hungry for the groupís inevitable full-length debut.
