Rock Asylum Comeback

Diablo Royale — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 19:20:26 +0000

January 19th, 2011 marked the return of ZO2′s Rock Asylum and we were honored to break the silence as the first band on. The night started off with red carpet appearances by Marky Ramone, Dee Snider and Eddie Ojeda of Twisted Sister, and Jerry Gaskill of King’s X among others. We took the stage to a packed house and did what we do best; we rocked our balls off. One of the better performances of our career (if we don’t say so ourselves), the place exploded and there was no mistaking the power and energy that went back and forth between the band and the crowd. Many special thanks to Paulie Z and ZO2 for putting the whole night together. A night worth remembering and revisiting, we had the cameras rolling, so check back soon for the video!

Hey,

We’re getting amped for our show on Wed night at Canal Room and you should be too. Here’s why:

These celebs will be walking the red carpet at the show:

And, the kid’s benefit we announced in our last email is in full effect and going very well. Here’s a reminder of what’s going on: if you purchase an advance ticket to the show directly from us, in addition to our show, you’ll also be sponsoring one kindergarten student from PS 52 in Brooklyn to attend a concert put on by the children’s music group the Z Brothers (Paulie & David from the band ZO2 and hit comedy show ZRock). Also, you’ll get a personal “Thank You” card from the student you sponsored when you pick up your ticket at will-call the day of our show.

Of course, we will be sharing the stage with ZO2 and Sweet Cyanide for this awesome comeback of the Rock Asylum festival. It’s where we cut our teeth when we first started and we’re stoked for it to be back and helping us again.

Here are the details of the show:

Wed, Jan 19, 2011
7:30 PM Canal Room
285 West Broadway at Canal Street
New York, NY 10013

Alright, that’s enough talking for now, see you on Wed night!

Rock Asylum with ZO2 & Sweet Cyanide Plus Kids’ Benefit

Diablo Royale — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 12:32:54 +0000

We’ll be at Canal Room (285 West Broadway) on Wed, 1/19 @ 7:30 PM. The show is ages 18+. But we’re doing something special for this show to kick off the new year. We figure what better way to give back than by raising money to support music and arts for local kids!

That’s right if you purchase an advance ticket to the show directly from us, in addition to our show, you’ll also be sponsoring one kindergarten student from PS 52 in Brooklyn to attend a concert put on by the children’s music group the Z Brothers (Paulie & David from the band ZO2 and hit comedy show ZRock). Also, you’ll get a personal “Thank You” card from the student you sponsored when you pick up your ticket at will-call the day of our show. There are 100 kindergarteners in PS 52 and once 100 presale tix are sold, the concert will be opened up to the first graders.

So get to it! The goal is to sell at least 100 tickets so please help by purchasing your advance ticket now and sponsor a student!

Even if you can’t make the show and you want to help out you can still buy a ticket and let us know that you wish to contribute but can’t attend.

Get your advance tix here for $10 (they’ll be $15 the day of).

Along with being a good cause this will be a fun night as we will be sharing the stage with ZO2 and Sweet Cyanide…
plus a rock fashion show,
plus a red carpet that will feature:
Dee Snider – Twisted Sister
Marky Ramone – Ramones
Steve Augeri – Journey, Tall Stories

Gig With Jesse Blaze Snider in Philly

Diablo Royale — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 23:27:06 +0000

We were invited back to Sweeny’s to play with Jesse “Blaze” Snyder, but unfortunately Jesse was forced to cancel his appearance due to unforeseen circumstances. No matter, the rest of the bands played on, and we’ve never seen Sweeny’s so packed before. All in all, this was our most successful showing at Sweeny’s and we’re hoping it continues.

Lulu’s was packed, the stage, sound, and lights were all spot-on, and all the bands played very well. Looks like Lulu’s will be a new regular stop for Diablo Royale in Long Island.
