The International Male
Eurobeast
Commander Diggie Diamond and Captain Roman Pietrs are the self-proclaimed “original electro booty retard rockers.” Their humorous appearance is a juxtaposition of egotistical male modeling and the Las Vegas flair of Siegfried & Roy. Brandishing identical keytars to lay down the booty groove, this duo has unleashed the innate desire for stripping naked and partying to the most uproarious dance music to come out of Brooklyn in recent years. No one puts a spin on the hilariously conceited lifestyles of international male models and sexual icon status like these guys! This is an absolutely fantastic concept and surprisingly innovative, considering their quirky low-fidelity retro '80s electro sound. Hell, they even choreograph their own dance moves!
Quotable lyrics abound as well, with such unforgettable lines as “I like the way you work it/I like the way you shake it/I imagine what your sweet cheeks look like when you’re naked” on “Sugar Cube.” Or how about the rousing feel-good acronym shout out, “‘P’ is for the panties/They’re flyin’ through the air/‘A’ is for the air/There’s a lot of panties there,” on “P.A.R.T.Y.”? Shoot, they even cover Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.” Siegfried & Roy had better hide when Diamond & Pieters hit the Las Vegas Strip!
Take your pick of any song, and you’re guaranteed to find something fun to latch on to! I never thought drawing inspiration from the likes of Julio Iglesias, David Hasselhoff, Eric Estrada, Scott Baio, William Shatner and every other unlikely male pop culture icon imaginable would translate into some serious “International Cool!” The International Male’s debut, Eurobeast, screams for attention and makes living out of hotels seem hip again!
