This March 2007, Phoenix singing group RUNAWAY DIAMONDS releases their first full length, "GODS MOM AND HER TURQUOISE CHOW CHOW". This song collection of existential prayers set to compton style gangsta beats establishes Runaway Diamonds as a the new breed of blue collar gospel.

Runaway Diamonds singular structure often takes listeners and audiences by surprise, as it employs a total of zero bassists, guitarists, or drummers. Instead, the songs are crafted and presented by:

Mr. Hernandez - Piano + Drum Machine
Mr. Pomerenke - Lyrics

and four singers known as The Spirit Squad:

Mr. Lockwood, Ms. Marmur, Ms. Bejarano, and Ms. Riggs

Styling songs about the twists and turns of kinky drugs, god, sex with strangers and the importance of family, Runaway Diamonds is a party you can think and feel with. Percussive and triumphant piano melodies, harmonies that propel soaring vocals and super catchy every-man rants that honestly face the fear, magic and mysterious mechanisms behind the human condition, fill this offering. Metaphysical and sexy? Pop culture references combined with ancient logic? 50's Doo Wop and hip hop dance beats? "What The Bleep Do We Know" and "Deep Throat". A live show that includes; cross dressing, group hugs, and pistol waving? Runaway Diamonds isn't a band. They're a group, a click, a crew, a set, an act.

GOD'S MOM AND HER TURQUOISE CHOW-CHOW, produced by the venerable Bob Hoag (The Format) at Mesa's Flying Blanket Studios, appears on Phoenix-based "boutique" label, Dreamy Draw Music. Created by filmmaker Ryan Page (Moog, What Is It?).
