The Dig is a band with enormous potential. They write good, catchy indie-pop songs with Beatles references (but punchier). They are excellent young performers and (as far as an Italian dude like me can tell) pretty cute guys – bah, let’s just say that some girls will find them attractive… The band will open for The Editors on 02.19 at Terminal 5 and tour the US with the same British band and then with Portugal The Man in the following weeks. They were The Deli’s Artist of the Month some time in 2008, they played one of our showcases just about one year ago, AND they also placed 14th in our Best of NYC 2009 Poll for emerging bands – which triggers a well deserved "WE TOLD YOU THEY’RE GOOD, WHY DIDN’T YOU BELIEVE US?!?". So… we really hope that the release of their new CD "Electric Toys" on April 27 will mark the beginning of this band’s rise to stardom.
