Doin It Up On Long Island

Anytime you put 4 Gotham Rocks bands in the same room, it’s bound to be a party. Anytime there’s a party, Adrian is bound to get drunk. We'll have a video on that shortly. The night was hosted by 13th Floor and featured Charetta, Eve To Adam, and yours truly. Special thanks to Sirius XM’s Octane DJ Kayla and to J from http://www.radiojshow.com for rockin out with us.

Rockin Out in PA with Panacea

This was our first trip out to Edwardsville, PA and we could see why Nightcaps is the best venue around for live music. We shared a great stage with local rockers Lemon Gelli and Pan.a.ce.a, who headlined the night. Special thanks to Paulie for putting it all together. A long night for sure, we finally got back to the city at 7AM for a few hours rest before the next show.

Summer Is Fine A Fine Time To Rock

Hey,

It's been an exciting few weeks for us. The touring has started with trips to Allentown, Kingston and some more in store for August. And let's not forget what kicked it off, our show at Blender Theater a few weeks ago. It was a great experience that none of us will forget. Thanks for making it that way. You can read about these and our other shows on our blog(there is a priceless video of us getting locked out of our van on the blog).

Speaking of shows, we have more coming, here is a quick list, you can get all the details on the website:

Sat 8/1 @ The Tourist Inn in Hallam, Pa with Evelyn's Ashes
Sun 8/2 Unplugged show @ Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ
Sat 8/8 Gotham Rocks @ Crash Mansion in New York City

The CDs have been ordered. Anyone that donated in the Spring should have received the mp3s of all of the song. If you haven't, hit reply and let us know. Also, new T-shirt designs are in the works. You can hear "Resistance" and "Greedy Dogs" and see the awesome artwork on our music page.

Last but not least, we are working on an appearance on Fox with Fearless TV which will be our first national TV spot. It is scheduled to be taped in the fall.

That's it for now. We'll be back in touch soon.

We could talk about it, but the video is just so much funnier:

Diablo Royale's First Trip To Allentown

This was our first trip into Allentown PA; a sleepy little town about 2 1/2 hours from Manhattan, and we did our best to wake it up! Thanks t The Sterling Hotel for hosting us and thanks to all of the bands for making this trip a fun one. We're looking forward to coming back! Incidentally, we learned that Perkins is not open 24 hours, Labatt Blue tastes just as bad as it always did, Photohunt is easier outside of NYC, and that falling asleep while driving a 15 passenger van full of people and gear is not always the best idea. Rock n' Roll.

Blender Theater, Alright Alright Alright

When you're playing ball with Live Nation you gotta bring your A-Game, and that's exactly what we did at Blender Theater. Stepping out in front over 400 fans, we took the stage and did what we do best - we fucking rocked! From the opening cymbal crashes of Dead @ 21 straight through to Remedy, we cranked the amps up louder and louder and did our best to blow the roof off the place (no need to worry folks, we're insured for that kind of stuff....). This was our best gig to date, and we're looking forward to coming back to Blender for many more. As if that's not enough, we also won some awesome prizes courtesy of Gotham Rocks. Namely, an appearance on Fearless TV and radio promotion from Sold Out Tour.

Time Out Presents Make Music New York

When we were given the opportunity to blast our amps outside our home turf The Sweatshop for Make Music New York, we just couldn't resist. The rain held off just long enough for us to finish our set (coincidence? I think not!) and as always we had a blast. We also taped the first video of the series "Ask Choy Anything", where....well...just check out the video when we post it.
