Diplo began playing together in 1980. The lead singer used to annoy his grandfather by playing his favorite tape incessantly. The guitarist wanted to start a band since he was in high school. Diplo began performing at the college bar City. Music of the 1970s heavily influenced the early work of the band.

Diplo were sure they were not going to be a one hit wonder after their single became popular. Diplo was offered a record contract after their single was heard on X94.5.

Diplo accepted they had finally made it in 1980, when Mandy Cotroneo started the group’s first fan club. After playing from California to New York, the band’s fan club exploded from the handful of fans around Washington, D.C. to thousands in every city throughout the country.

The band is in the midst of the accompanying tour for their latest album. Diplo's new record has taken the band in a surprisingly new direction, using more instruments than ever before.

The band has never played a bad concert in San Diego, so they make sure to schedule a stop there whenever they tour. The band has all their tour information, from the tour schedule to the latest Diplo tickets released, on TheSeats.com.
