Howling Diablos

Formed in the mid-90s, the DIABLOS honed their chops backing up blues and R&B stars like EARL KING, JOHNNY ADAMS, ALBERT COLLINS, and JOHNNIE JOHNSON, before devising their own brand of funk jam blues, and becoming one of the most popular live bands in the Detroit area.
Over the years they have released a couple of self-produced CDs, toured with GEORGE CLINTON and PARLIAMENT/FUNKADELIC, opened for HANK WILLIAMS JR. and countless other blues and rock greats, and collaborated with many of the current crop of Detroit stars. Two years ago they recorded the old-school blues classic, "Wine Spo Dee O Dee", for the AHMET ERTEGEN produced Sun records tribute album, "Good Rockin' Tonight" and can also be seen in the PBS American Masters documentary of the same name.
In 2004 lead singer TINO GROSS produced "A Bothered Mind" for Mississippi legend RL BURNSIDE.
The DIABLOS most recent release, "Car Wash" (Alive Records), is an album of dirty funk blues, American street music for the soul. receiving a Detroit Music Award for best National Independent Album of '06. Watch for a new Diablos Xmas EP in 2008 and a brand new full length LP featuring the Sacred Steel heavyweight, Calvin Cooke in '09.
