Like Diamonds was formed by songwriter Luka Tacon, multi-instrumentalist David Kiss and drummer Justin Hofmann. The trio began to experiment with arrangements and the instrumentation of songs written by Tacon while they searched for new members, which led them to producer Dub Sonata and percussionist Brenden Tacon, both of whom eventually joined the band.
The indie-rock sound the band had originally sought after was cast aside as they pursued a direction that melded a variety of genres including rock, electro, pop and disco. After months of rehearsing and crafting their sound, and with the addition of bassist Gil Dekel, they were content. Their first few shows included a slot at the electronic music festival Camp Bisco 9, followed by a short tour through the eastern US. The band's fresh approach to pop music coupled with their live show leaves audiences captured by the passion and groove with which they play.
