moo goo gai pan..

john mccauley and robbie crowell (deer tick), ian saint pé (black lips), hardy morris (dead confederate), bryan dufresne (six finger satelitte), AND steve berlin (los lobos) have teamed up to form the DIAMOND RUGS!

it's no secret that i love everything and anything deer tick.. but this band is making some pretty awesome music. check out john singing diamond rugs' song "christmas in a chinese restaurant" and then be sure to pick up their self-titled debut album in the spring.
