This was our first show at the Dirty Bomb festival which takes place once a month at The Delancey. We got on stage to do our set and everything was running great. That is until our second to last song when Gerard’s amp started smoking. We finished out the song, and Gman wisely unplugged everything and stepped off stage. That is definitely one for the history books.

This is the third Gotham Rocks showcase and it was a huge success. We played in front of a crowd of 300 people won a placement in Revolver Magazine and an enodorsement from Spector. Most importantly, we played with some serious bands including, Domi, Killcode, The Speaks, Maddam Ink, Shadows Lie and Black Water Rising, giving the fans a night they will not soon forget.

Crash Mansion: This was for Rock In The Box; a 2 day event which featured all of the best Phil-Am bands around. What can we say? Crash Mansion is like our home away from home and as always we blew the doors off the place. Mike was out of town and we just couldn’t pass up an opportunity to play such a big event, so we had our good friend Dom sit in on drums. A little nervous at first, but by ...[Read More]

DJ Alex at L’amours, who has been known to spin DR from time to time, organized the whole night. We shared the stage with ZO2, Hybrid Dawn and Black Water Rising. To thank him for booking such a great night, we invited Alex to play drums on “Don’t Mind Me.”

We’ve had a very good relationship with Arlene’s since the get go, so we decided to do a weekly residency. Each week had a bigger crowd than the last and we took the opportunity to play some brand new songs including “NYC” and a cover of “Outshined” by Soundgarden.

This was the second Gotham Rocks show and Diablo Royale’s first outdoor show. We delivered a strong show fresh off the heels of the night before and received a great reception by the crowd. We definitely took the opportunity to hit a few rides. Kingda Ka wasn’t working, so we hit Nitro just before closing. Guess which one of us hasn’t been on a roller coaster in over 10 years.

We’re no stranger to Crash Mansion. This time we were on stage with New York hard rockers Killcode and Black Water Rising. It was a great night with a big showing from our fans.

This past weekend was a big one for us. On Fri night, We played in Lancaster for the first time at Chameleon Club which the likes of System of a Down have played, making it the best venue in the area. Then on Sun, we won the New York fliptup.com Rock Slam Contest. During our set, 500 fans from the crowd in New York and fans watching live in the Philippines voted for us, and we were named the winne...[Read More]

This was the perfect show to wrap up a good round of gigs. We hit the stage with our friends from NJ, Hostel Inc at Trash Bar in Brooklyn. As you can see below, the audience took the name of the bar quite literally. We’ll be back on stage in August at Great Adventure and Crash Mansion.

This was our second trip to Connecticut, and keeping with the birthday theme of the weekend, we were celebrating Jason’s with our good friends, INK. It was a great show at Cook’s Cafe despite almost getting lost. You see, the main entrance to Cook’s is behind a fire house and the back is on the main street. So when we pulled up and saw an empty storefront with a locked door, we t...[Read More]
