The Resume

    (October 10, 1985- )
    Born in Abergavenny, Wales, United Kingdom
    Real name: Marina Lambrini Diamandis
    Extended Play sets include ‘Mermaid vs Sailor (2007, self-release)’ and ‘The Crown Jewels (2009)’
    Debut CD is ‘The Family Jewels (2010)’

Why she might be annoying:

    She pronounces her name dee-am-MAHN-dee.
    Her moniker refers to her fan base rather than her backing band.
    She regards Britney Spears as an influence.
    She can play the glockenspiel.

Why she might not be annoying:

    On her MySpace page, she defines her name as, ‘I’m Marina, you are the Diamonds.’
    She regards Blondie and Nirvana as influences.
    Inspired by Gwen Stefani, she describes her fashion sense as ‘vintage, cheerleader, and cartoon’ (sure you didn’t mean her instead?).
    Her backing band has worked with and without a guitarist (but never without a bassist).
    While she makes her own clothing from vintage shops, she has no interest in developing a ‘skanky celebrity line.’
