Arcata Skate Park Benefit
What:
Arcata Skate Park Benefit Phase II featuring Thrasher skate videos and alternative rock band Diamonds Under Fire Friday, February 5, at Arcata Theatre Lounge, 1036 G St in Arcata. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Show is at 7 pm. Cost is $6, and is all ages.
Rock outfit Diamonds Under Fire is the musical heart of singer/songwriter Vanessa Silberman. Taking major influences from 90’s alternative groups, Diamonds Under Fire leads the way from where the few female fronted rock groups left off. Her surefire performance is akin to the confidence & spirit of Chrissie Hynde, the rawness of PJ Harvey, the bare bones rock ‘n roll of Nirvana and the pop production sensibilities of Pink. Her band’s namesake says it all. The fact that diamonds are made from coal under great pressure & heat deep in the heart of the earth is an apt analogy for Diamonds Under Fire’s Vanessa finding her footing as an artist. For the last three years, Diamonds Under Fire’s songs have been featured on the Vans Off the Wall compilation CD. 100,000 copies are distributed at the Vans Warped Tour each summer. She’s not old enough to rent a car in the U.S., but Vanessa has toured the country & overseas, performing shows (sponsored by Vans and Gibson) at such venues as the Double Door in Chicago, the Troubadour in Los Angeles, Sin-é in New York & the Spice Of Life in London. Wherever she plays, Vanessa is heating up the stage and proving to be more than a diamond-in-the-rough.
