Marina, aka Marina Lambrini Diamandis, and the Diamonds (her fans are the diamonds, not the backing band), played a show that sold out in 90 seconds Thursday night at the Bowery Ballroom. The predominantly young crowd was anxious with anticipation for the show to start. There was no opening act, and a preteen boy at the front of the stage was actually counting down the seconds for the 9pm start. When the Welsh singer-songwriter came out the place went crazy. Her dance heavy pop songs had the whole place dancing and singing along to every song. She played hits from all three of her albums, The Family Jewels, Electra Heart and the just released Froot.
