Dian is a groovy rock band hailing from the city of Oulu, Northern Finland. Dian was established in 2002, and has since released four demo cd's and one promo single. The musical essence of Dian can be labeled as "groovy grungefunk", which consists of rock, grunge, pop and mischeviously funky rhythms. The ambitious aim is to bring a new twist to the basic melancholic rock genre, which is overwhelmingly present in Europe, especially in Scandinavia.
The previous demo cds have reached good reviews in several internet zines and music magazines. The second demo won a demo competition at the finnish radio station "YleX", and the fourth demo-ep "Hypofunktion" was chosen as the demo of the month 10/06 in Finnish Inferno magazine. So far Dian has rocked out without the tow from record labels, dwelling in the Finnish rockmusic's modern and underground world, flagging for more organic sounds and wider emotional scales. In the future Dian plans to do more touring and refine the sweaty sounds and funky grooves.
Dian published this brand new promo single during spring 2008. The single, titled "Here & Now", was recorded with the aid of Jonas Olsson. The a-side, 'Here & Now', is a feel good summerhit with genuinely positive atmosphere, and the b-side 'Zero Am' cherishes the heritage of 90's grunge, with a modern bluesy touch.
Don't hesitate to contact us for a chat, a beer, a gig, anything.. Cheers!
