Madi Diaz has been playing a series of intimate gigs around the States of late. Among them have been the Rough Trade store in Brooklyn with British baroque pop dandies, Wolf Gang, and the Bootleg Theatre in Los Angeles with elegant indie-rockers, Social Studies and fuzzy upstarts Aan.
She’s been produced by John Aglia, who’s worked with the likes of Ben Folds Five, Paul Simon, John Mayer and Jason Mraz.
Her live show at the Bing Lounge in Portland is stripped back. She’s only got space onstage for a drum set (this actually only comprises two drums) and keyboard, so it’s a three man band tonight.
She rallies out a few songs for her latest album, Phantom, which came out this year, including ‘Tomorrow’, ‘Stay Together’, the blissed-out ‘The Other Side’. They are received well. Her songs are full and rich, laden with sentiment. Diaz has been a musician since childhood, having taken up the piano at five years old. There’s not that much space to do anything but toe tap, but toes were consistently tapping along.
