Very excited for this show, it’s free and should be a lot of fun, we’ll be doing “What a Nice Time We Had Here” and the other performers sound great. diamondmouthsurprise: A change, friends. In the past year, Diamond Mouth Surprise has grown so much. Our events are getting bigger and so are the crowds. We are so honored that you have shared your time with us. You have helped this series evolve into something very different, and larger, than we ever imagined. Thank you all for being a part of our community—as participants, performers, friends. It has been nothing but a pleasure. We are sad to say that with this growth, we must bid farewell to the loft space that has hosted us for so long, the same loft where Diamond Mouth Surprise was dreamed up years ago. It has been exciting to see DMS flourish and to feel like we are all part of something together, all in a place that is very much a home. Now we invite all of you to join us at a new space. The visuals will be bigger and brighter, the audio more encompassing, but the love will continue to be the love, the feeling will still be Diamond Mouth Surprise, and the cost will forever be nothing.  Come celebrate the next step in our evolution at LA SALA, where we will all be treated to an evening of the rarest sounds and images and company.
