Diving for Pearls was an American rock band that released their first album in 1989. They were founded in 1988 in New York City by Danny Malone and named from a line in an Elvis Costello song. Diving for Pearls began generating a significant amount of major label interest once Yul Vazquez (guitar) and Peter Clemente (drums) joined Danny (lead vocals, guitar) and Jack Moran (keyboards), who were members of The Trademarks, a local band out of Boston prior to moving to New York. Shortly thereafter, the band signed to Epic Records and had two hit songs with "Gimme Your Good Lovin'" (see video link) and the album oriented radio station favorite "I Don't Want To Cry". Their album was named as one of KERRANG
's Top 20 for 1989. The band consisted of Danny Malone (vocals, guitar), Yul Vazquez (Guitar, vocals), Jack Moran (keyboards), David Weeks (bass) and Peter Clemente (drums).
