Hey Diablo Royale Fan! This is Sweetleaf, bass player extraordinaire from Diablo Royale again – here with more updates about my fantabulous band! You got our email last week about our band’s plans to record a new album by holding a fundraiser to raise the cash. Rather than pinching pennies in advance and then selling the albums later to make our cash back, the plan is to raise the cash...[Read More]
April Fools Rules
Dear DIABLO ROYALE FAN! Happy day-after-April-Fools-Day! To keep things interesting, Adrian, our singer, decided to stage a hoax that he quit the band! There was a big hullabaloo from gullible fans and friends who freaked out. The only band member who got fooled was Mike (of course). I was out all day and not in contact with anyone so I figured I’d pretend I’d gotten busted buying pot ...[Read More]
Revolver Magazine, March & April 2009
“…a sonic punch in the face.”
SUPERNOVA BATTLE OF THE BANDS WIN
This was kind of a last minute show. Adrian and Mike were both out of the country until that day, but we figured, why not? So we showed up, did our set, and the judges loved us and named us best band of the night.
Diablo Royale, National Act?
The showcase last night ROCKED. We had a strong turnout, thanks to you! Plus, we shook hands with the powers that be (literally, one of the people asked Jason and Mike if we were a Christian band). But in all serousness, we met some of the heavy-hitters and we’ll see where it goes in the coming weeks. We have a big event on Monday, March 23rd, actually, the BIGGEST one we’ve had yet. We̵...[Read More]
INDUSTRY SHOWCASE
The showcase ROCKED. We had a strong turnout, thanks to you! Plus, we shook hands with the powers that be (literally, one of the people asked Jason and Mike if we were a Christian band). But in all serousness, we met some of the heavy-hitters and we’ll see where it goes in the coming weeks. Thanks for the support on a Tues night.
UNPLUGGED SHOW AT CRASH MANSION
Our plans for taking time off from gigging are quickly coming to an end. We were offered the chance to play unplugged, so we dusted off our acoustics and got to it.
GOTHAM ROCKS
Alright, back on stage after quite a long break. What a great time that was. We had a crowd of 75 of just our own not to mention all the people there to check out the other bands. We also won an endorsement from DR Strings. This showcase continues to impress.

HALLOWEEN AT CRASH MANSION
We were back at our old stomping ground for a great show. The costumes were awesome and the set went very well. It was the perfect send-off for our last big show of the year. I could talk more about it, or let the pictures do the talking…
FRIGHT FEST AT GREAT ADVENTURE
We played Great Adventure for the first time in August and headed back for their Halloween festival. It was a great time, the stage was an awesome castle and the fans ate it up. We played with Hybrid Dawn, World’s End and Evelyn’s Ashes. Can’t wait to do it again next year.
DIABLO ROYALE NAMED BAND OF THE YEAR
This was the fliptup.com finals. We competed against two other bands for audience/online votes and the judges blessing. With over 1,000 online votes and winning with the judges we won some cash, media promotion in the Philippines and a free music video. Thanks to everyone for voting and thanks to Erica for this pic.
