MUSIC | Diamond Rings
Local synthpop electronic artist Diamond Rings caught international attention a few weeks ago with back-to-back appearances on late night television with both Letterman and Leno, and now, fresh off his U.S. tour supporting Stars, he's playing a string of Canadian dates. Headlining his own show tonight at the Mod Club, the 27-year-old Oshawa native will play music from his recently-released sophomore album Free Dimensional. Joined by Gold & Youth and Light Fires, the show is part of the Edgefest Jingle Bell Concert Series, which sees $1 from every ticket sold going to The Daily Bread Food Bank. Enjoy some evocative pop music for charity and pleasure.

Prizes for all types of mo's--best, worst, finger, lipstick--will be given out. Open up your wallets and clean your upper lips to help fight prostrate cancer.
