It&#8217;s a mind boggling blend of jazz, folk, psychedelia and prog (please note: prog is not a dirty word) and it sounds so authentically retro it&#8217;s like it&#8217;s been transported straight here from the 1970&#8217;s. There&#8217;s also quite a bit of mystery surrounding them but I&#8217;ll tell you what I know so far&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I know that they&#8217;re based in Brighton and that they&#8217;ve now sadly parted company with two of their original members, one of them the vocalist. In true Diagonal style though this will merely result in more lengthy instrumental saxophone\/flute\/clarinet led action. I also know that they don&#8217;t play gigs north of the border often enough (like ever?) but with a new album imminent, I&#8217;m hoping that will change.<\/p>\n<p>So if you like your musical soup a little from the leftfield then Diagonal just might be your favourite new band.<\/p>\n<p>Take a left at \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/diagonalband\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/diagonalband<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At one point there were seven members in Diagonal and, as demonstrated on their self-titled 2008 debut, they each brought their own influence to the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3031,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
