Los Diablos

About Me

Los Diablos was officially formed in Auckland in April 2006. They perform 3hrs of material offering blues classics and bluesy numbers by artistes as varied as Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, Bessie Smith, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Santana.
Since the project's inception the band has experienced more than its usual share of rock n roll ups and downs with resignations, firings, hirings and serious injury along the way. During this turbulent period a rumour spread that the band were cursed with bad luck for taking the name Los Diablos (which means The Devils in Spanish)
The current line-up have been performing together since March 07 and this rumour is now all but buried. Their new 7 track E.P. (now available) aptly titled the "Not Cursed" E.P. features 3 Los Diablos original songs and 4 of the most popular live tracks. The E.P. is currently getting extensive airplay and support from Nate at the Blues Room, (www.communityradio.co.nz) and the fellas at the Crossroads blues show on KfM 106.9
