The Diamond Dogs was a Swedish rock band founded in Katrineholm during the early 1990s, by vocalist Sören 'Sulo' Karlsson and guitarist Anders 'Boba' Lindström.
History The line-up has changed several times throughout the band's career and has included members from bands such as The Hellacopters, Stefan Sundströms back-up band, Wilmer X, Snatch, Dogs D'Amour, Nymphet Noodlers, Hederos & Hellberg and The Soundtrack Of Our Lives; however, the band's music has always been rooted in 1970's rock. The band has also toured extensively with bands such as Hanoi Rocks, The Damned, Nazareth, Georgia Satellites, Ian Hunter and The Cult. The band has been especially successful in Italy with crowds of up to ten thousand attending some of their concerts. In 2002, the band teamed up with the Swedish musician, Lennart Eriksson, to record a track for a tribute album to Nationalteatern along with The Latin Kings frontman Dogge Doggelito. The band recorded all of their live shows throughout Spain. The band announced their split after 25 years, on their Facebook page on September 29, 2015.
