...An update on how incredible things are going!

First of all, to be back at Zakk's Coffeehouse was just killer on Nov. 30th - the "house of Royce" made us all feel at home and these guys just ate it up...Great turnout for us and everyone rocked really hard with us - I also want to thank Standing Ground (http://www.myspace.com/standingground) for supporting us - really cool rockin' fellas!

The next night was so cool up in Va. Beach...Martha's Dumptruck (http://www.myspace.com/marthadumptruk) dipped in the gritty and brought some killer QOFTSA meets Clutch tunes that just grooved!

We all wanted to share this from our friend Travis from the band Dreadline (http://www.myspace.com/dreadline) who were there kicking ass with all of their past and present members - go check them out for some kick ass rock! Here's what followed after Sat.'s event:

"You guys brought a great vibe and we had one of the best crowds in the White Horse in over a month.

There's not a lot of music out there running around that I feel quite as passionately about. We've got some great mates here in the area, but I guess Blanco Diablo just "speaks" to me on a different level.

That was one of the best shows I've ever played, and I can't wait to do it again."

Thanks Travis! You fucking ROCK!

In a nutshell - when 3 friends bring a POSITIVE vibe to the shows, those things are felt in people's heart soul and bones...To see you guys singing the words and rocking with us is an incredible experience and we want to thank each and everyone of you who support Blanco Diablo...We love ya! Thanks so much and see you on the road!!!

STAY TUNED FOR HUGE NEWS COMING SOON!

Jamie, Patrick, and Brad
