RINGTONES FOR ROCKERS
Check out the new Flash banner on the left hand side of this site. If you click on it, you will be taken to a page with various shapes and sizes of Flash banners that you can spread around. The album is out everywhere on July 3rd and the wonderful peeps over at Koch (our record label) have set up these banners to be splattered anywhere and everywhere. So grab whatever ones you like, pull them on to your desktop, and then post them everywhere. Your MySpace page, your own site, even Granny's email in box. Let the march begin!! Also, if you click on the main Circus Diablo pic above, you will be taken to a great Flash page with our E Card and the Loaded single playing. Spread the URL amongst your friends, co-workers, family ..... whoever you think needs a good healthy dose of Diablo!
As usual its been a little busy around here but things are simmering away nicely. Loaded has been doing really well at Rock Radio, and we are now moving into getting our tour bus sorted out, rehearsals for the tour booked, and we even have two tracks from the album, Loaded and So Fine being made available as ringtones!! I dont think it works right now, but it will be in effect soon, so let me give you the details. Text DIABLO1 for Loaded and DIABLO2 for So Fine to 66555 on your cellphone - I think it costs $2.99 that gets charged to your cellphone bill. Let me know when it works if someone does it!!
Today is the free Hilfiger Sessions show at The Avalon in Hollywood. If you are in the area tonight, come on by - it should be fun. They brought in a whole "In The Round" sound system so that the bands will actually be playing in the center of the dancefloor! Whitestarr, Fiction Plane and Emma Burgess will all be playing and DJ Adam 12 will be spinning the tunes. The actual stage will be the VIP lounge, and at some point, Donovan and I are going to do a couple of acoustic songs with a String Quartet!! Pics and a full report very soon!! Hope to see some of you down there.
One more show has been added on July 31st in Abilene, Texas at the Midnight 3, which brings us to a total of 40 shows in two months. Thats a pretty decent schedule by anyones standard. We are covering as much ground as we can this first time out. And it wont be the only go-around for Circus Diablo. We are up to our necks in logistics right now, but once we get it all straight, we will start to think about September and October and through 'til the end of the year.
I'm off to hit the gym before heading over to the Avalon and spending the day there. Somehow I ended up deeply involved in the production of todays show (which I actually quite like really!) so that means I'll have a room to myself, and I'll sit there all today avoiding lots of questions like "how does the lighting truss get lowered?" and "do we have crew parking arranged yet?"!! Ha ha - I'm just messing around - I'll be there with Donovan so make sure you come over if you are anywhere near Hollywood and Vine. We'll be the hippy looking ones with the acoustic guitars!!
See ya - and check out the Podcasts page that is now up to date, thanks to Mr Paul.
Peace
Billy

I for one have been waiting for the Loaded ringtone to be available. I guess it is about time I give up the Sopranos one I have had for the past 2 years! No joke. Will let you know when it works! Niki

I was just wondering if the July 13 show will be re-scheduled or moved to another venue, since the venue you were supposed to play at has closed (http://weeklyvolcano.typepad.com/spew/2007/06/the_garage_clos.html ).

I emailed a Diablo request to 3 different FM stations.
Then I sold 2 guitars&a keyboard. Jamming is a hobby. I have a dayjob.
I missed you Billy Bob.

Jesse Cook added a screwball liked me to his list. I named a guitar after him--that I no longer own. I guess I better get practising. I want Jesse, Rik Emmett, Bryan Adams & S.R. to be proud of me! Hee

Robin,
That is an awesome line up. So far I am going to skip Ozzfest & only hit the club date. I was hoping to see Banyan that weekend as well but, they are just too far apart. Everyone take care, Niki.
