The Diamonds formed in the second half of the sixties are considered by some as the first band to start Western Rock in Darjeeling.The band line up had Pemba Lepcha,Bikram Subba,Suren Rai,Pravin Gazmer and Subarna Limbu. They started off playing instrumentals by Ventura and Shadows and went on to play the covers of The Beatles ,Santana and the like.The band broke up in the early seventies,members dispersing to form other bands.
Among the band members ,Pemba later formed Prism in Kathmandu.Subarna joined him later.They are still playing in the band.Suren Rai holds a government job and Bikram runs a studio in Darjeeling called Ears Studio.
