Http //www.Myspace.Com/eldiablorocks EL DIABLO IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN FERNANDO BENITEZ Drums VIC SANTILLAN Bass And IVAN NIEBLAS Guitar And Ocassional Vocals . /// * * * ** We Are EL DIABLO And That Should Be Enough Saying!. But Before You Think We're A Satanic Cult A Black Metal Band The Resurrection Of Anton La Vey A Bad B-Movie Or Any Other Nonsense You Think Of Well You're Wong. Broes And Sistas ¡¡EL DIABLO IS A ROCK BAND!!!!!!! We Came Up From The Ashes Of 34-D A Pretty Forgettable Hardcore Band By The Way. Iván Guitar Ex/Obliteration Trauma Una Realidad Aparte Bloodsoaked Fernando Drums Ex/Raxas Death Arise Acrostic The Sweet Leaf And Gerardo Vocals Ex/Suicidio Juvenil Left The Warpig Bass And Fascism Ex/Atoxxxico Suicidio Juvenil And Wondered What To Do. EL DIABLO Started Playing A Psychedelic Riff- Rock Induced By Loads Of Pot And Mushrooms After Realizing That Hardcore Was No Longer Fun "you Know You Grow Older And The Body No Longer Works As It Should Aside Doing Illegal Subtances MAKES YOU Have To Play Slow Like Hell!! . Get Rid Of That Stupid Moniker 34-D "well What With It Dammit?!. At That Time We Thought It Was A Cool Name Give Us A Break!!. Hey Are We Talking To Ourselves Here?!" Was The First Step. Then Our Lord EL DIABLO Did The Rest Sent Us After Millions Of Failures And Countless Losers The Right Bass Player El Shaggy Bass Ex/Semefo Esperpento "¡at Least A Fucker On The Same Trip Like Us!" . We Started Jamming Some Songs Played Live A Few Times Then Entered Estudios Tequila In México "Oh Yeah That's Where We're From!" . And Recorded A Couple Of Songs. The Tunes Included On That Now Classic First Recording Were Piss And Love Mirror Love Price To Pay Dragonfly Space Butterfly Blues Dance With The Devil Grand Finale And Our "piece D' Resistance" Hats Off To Edgar Broughton. With A Little Help From Our Friends Added Cowbell Congas Sitar Maracas And Flute Getting A Wider Spectrum To Our Riff-Rock Trio Line Up. The Lyrics Were About Iván 's Problems With His Then Girlfriend " You Really Don't Want To Know About It Do Ya?. OK Good Iván Soon Will Open 'Sgt. Nieblas Lonely Heart´s Club Site' On The Net" And The Rest Were About Fernando And Gerardo's Drug Bad Tripping. So The Record Was On And We Just Needed Someone To Release It. We Tried Some Of The Local Record Labels But They Told Us "I'ts Too Slow" "Sounds So Old" "Bring Us Some Ska Or Hip Hop And We Sign Right Now" "We'll Call You". Then All Hell's Broke Loose Shaggy Got Married And Left The Band Gerardo's Interest On The Band Decreased Due To His Lack Of Good Singing Among Many Other Reasons. So We Stayed Bassless Until Jesús Bass Ex/QV7 Showed Up "not The Uncomprehended Hippie Commy You Fools!" And Played A While With Us. Shaggy Got Back So Jesús "who By The Way Resembles More To Glenn Danzig Than To That Guy On The Cross" Took On Second Guitar But That Didn'd Last Long Thanks To Shaggy Who Went Off Again To Take Care Of A Little Child Coming From París. And Jesús Took Off Trying To Get Together His Van Halen-Marilyn Manson Project "you Really Don't Wanna Hear It Trust Us You Really Don't!. OK The Guy Is Still Looking For A Drummer But Be Forwarned Your Hair's Gotta Look Like ¡ Stryper!. Hell No!" . We Played A Last Gig With Shaggy And There We Met Vic Bass Ex/The Crush Our Actual Bass Player. He Came To Our Rehearsal Space Jammed A Little Didn't Talk At All He Didn't Even Drank Water And Well He Was In The Band!!. Later Gerardo Left To Get Married Too "what The Hell Is Wrong With This People Anyway?!" . Iván Took On The Vocal Duties "and Play Guitar At The Same Time Wich Is A Pain In The Ass! Iván's Note" . New And Better Songs Were Created And Rehearsed. The Trio Line Up Was The Better Way To Work. Now We Had Bigger Amplifiers Better Drums Set And A Shitload Of Weird Effect Pedals!. So We Combined Our Twisted Mental Trips Ala Pink Floyd Tangerine Dream Guru Guru Amon Dull Blind Faith Jimi Hendrix The Beatles Miles Davis Can Bloodrock Decibel Magma Humus Alexandro Jodorowsky King Crimson Cream Plastic People Of The Universe Iron Butterfly Santana Embryo Captain Beyond The Corporation Mahavishnu Orchestra Gong Gravy Train With The Groovy Bearded Thick And Heavy Rock Of Black Sabbath COC Nebula Monster Magnet Fu Manchu Spiritual Beggars Budgie Ace Frehley Kyuss QOTSA Down Firebird Atomic Bitchwax. All Of A Sudden We Had A Bunch Of New Songs Almost 20 And Still Counting To Record. We Decided Doing It Again At Estudios Tequila And Record Only "not For Lacking Of Will But Of Money" The Longest Songs We Had Wich Were Almost Absolutely Instrumental More Psychedelic And Less Heavier As A Result Of Tripped Out Exahusting Jams. Those Songs Are Huautla A Mind Bender Liquid Skies II Purusha Captain Obeatleration Womoon The Only One With Vocals Equus Rumanian Blues And Samelbaheson. It Was 1999 And We Launched Our First Web Site Shared With The Sweet Leaf And At The Same Time We Contacted Jose Luis Garnica From The Locally Legendary Label Smogless Records. We Gave Him A Demo With The New Songs And After We Brainwash Him With The Millionaire Sales He Would Get He Naively Accepted To Release Our Debut CD Entitled Just "El Diablo" Je Je Je. At That Time We Released On Our Own "The Devil Made Me Do It" A Vinyl Picture-Disc Recorded Completely At Fixion Club In Front Of Our 8 Fans Our Girlfriends A Few Friends And The Place's Waiters. It Has Live Versions Of See Men Fall Mastertrip Mirror Love Love Trust Kill Love And Liquid Skies And Includes Grand Finale And Hats Off To Edgar Broughton From That First And Still Unreleased Recording. It Was A 300 Copies Only Edition And Incredibly Went Sold Out!. Not Bad For Begginers Huh?. Later On 2001 We Recorded Two New Records Provisionally Entitled "Mastertrip" And "Paradise Mescaline" This Time At Estudios Scooby Under The Wing Of Uncle Scooby Himself "pederastrian Junkie And Sax Extraordinaire" Wich We Hope Someone Wants To Launch Or Lend Us The Money To Do It. "Mastertrip" Has Our Heavier Songs Like See Men Fall Mastertrip Mirror Love Liquid Skies Love Trust Bad Rash Star And Kill Love. And "Paradise Mescaline" Is A Combination Of Both Styles Psychedelia And Riff-Rock On Songs Like Voodoo Child Slight Return /Electric Sex Messiah Paradise Mescaline The Power Of Denial Y Hollow. Wich Include New Sounds Like Didgeridoo And Sax Among Other Mind Benders. In The Meantime Our Friends From Argentina Sin Ilusiones Re Edited Our Debut Cd On Their Label Progreso Records. Also We Sent Tracks To Appear On Compilations. We Have Huautla From The Debut CD On The Luna Negra/Smogless Records Sampler. And Star From "Mastertrip" On "New Rays From A Rising Black Sun" The Dirt Cult Magazine Double CD Compilation. It's 2003 And As Our Creativity Is Unstoppable We Kept Rehearsing And Ended Recording Again.We Asked Our Friend Francisco Gatica Keyboards Ex-Ramses To Take The Dust Off His Old Moog And Jam With Us. This Time It Was Just One Song. A 37 Minute Song!. It Was Intended To Record A 7 Minutes One For A Soon To Appear New Smogless Records Compilation. But You Know Music Possessed Us And We Jammed And Jammed And Couldn't Stop But 30 Minutes Before! This New Record Is Intended To Be Called "The Secrets Of The Planet Soul". We Want To Gather Again With Smogless Records Staff And Put Something On Their Drinks To Get This One Released This Year. Also We're Preparing Our World Dominaton Plan Including Subliminal Messages On Our Records "the Traditional El Diablo's Way To Work With The Restless Youth" Wich Will Lead You To Demand Legalization And Consumption Of The Proper Power Plants To Open Your Minds To The Separate Reality Located Here In Mexico's Huautla De Jiménez Oaxaca From Where We'll Have Our Operational Headquarter So We Can Live Toghether In Harmony With The Music Of EL DIABLO As The Soundtrack Of Our New Life. So Say A Prayer For Saint Jimi Hendrix And Pray Damn You! Pray! Because WHEN YOU DANCE WITH EL DIABLO DON'T EXPECT THE SONG TO BE OVER. read less
