BLANCO DIABLO is everything the band's name suggests and even some things it doesn't. This is a band on a mission and not one of those panty-waist, boy band evil missions either - this is dangerous rock & roll that engages the brain as well as the bones. The band's timeless rock songs have an edge all their own, honed with a relentlessly intense musical middle finger thrust at double-talking politicos that will define a genre, not mimic one.
Tearing it up with such national acts as Tantric, Drivin n Cryin, Brides of
Destruction, Rose Hill Drive, Firehouse, Jackyl, and Gary Hoey, BLANCO DIABLO
continues to establish themselves as a band with a distinct style and abiding
love for music. Be it with full-blown electric intensity or soulful bluesy jams,
BLANCO DIABLO often perform in the Southeast, New York City, and the U.K. Their
debut CD Paper Poison Revolution was released on Rock Ridge Music on April 25th,
2006. An exclusive single from the CD, titled "Fix Me Again", resulted
in 6000 downloads in the first week of release on WindowsMedia.com. On their
2006 U.K. tour the band performed at the acclaimed Oswestry Music Live Festival
in Shropshire County England with over 12,000 in attendance. 2007 saw the band
return to an even larger reception at the Oswestry Music Live festival and subsequent
successful tour of the UK. In 2008, the band returned to the UK for 2 more successful
headline tours, radio interviews and appearances, and festival performances.
The summer 2008 UK tour concluded with the band recording their sophomore disc
with Grammy-nominated producer Chris Tsangarides at the Ecology Rooms Studio
in Kent, England.
Blanco Diablo has gained solid local, regional, and national press including
a highlight in the November 2006 issue of Modern Drummer magazine recognizing
the band's relentless touring schedule.
The band gained regular radio play in the the Southeastern US on stations such
as WEND, WRXR, WOBX, WXQR, WRCQ, WYBB, WTPT, and WBZT for their debut single
"Fix Me Again". In the UK, the band has 3 different singles in rotation
on Bruce Dickinson's Rock Show on BBC 6 Music, Radio Maldwyn in Shropshire County,
CRMK 89.8 in Milton Keynes, England, Sunshine Radio 106.2 FM in Herefordshire,
England, and Rock247 Radio in Staffordshire, England. From December 2006 through
January 2007, the Speed Channel on Cable and Satellite Television featured the
band's single on the Speed Report show.
Fall 2008 had the band featured on various NFL games on the FOX Network with
their song "Fix Me Again" being broadcast nationwide!
