The Trials of Rehearsal: Battery Woes & Show Prep
Rehearsals for Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band are always an adventure, but this time, we learned a valuable lesson—not all batteries are created equal!
To save costs, we use cheaper batteries for wireless microphones during practice, reserving the higher-quality ones for live performances. This time, we grabbed a couple of packs from Dollar Tree, hoping they’d last at least one full rehearsal. Well… they didn’t. These bargain batteries barely lasted 30 minutes to an hour before dying on us. Lesson learned! We’ll finish using the ones we bought, but next time, we’ll invest in better budget-friendly alternatives.
For comparison, our good batteries last about five hours, so in perspective, an hour from the cheap ones isn’t the worst—but still not ideal for uninterrupted rehearsals.
Despite the minor hiccups, we’re gearing up for an exciting live show on Clapper (depending on internet and signal strength). Catch Advocatus Diaboli, Shamshini, and the animatronic trio—Spliff, Roach, and Blunt—bringing their supernatural sound to life!
📍 Mini Red Velvet Underground, Albuquerque
📅 Sunday’s Show – March 16th
Stay tuned and join us for a hauntingly unforgettable night of music!

Birthday Karaoke, Craft Beer, and a Night of Fun in Albuquerque!
A Week of Fun, Friends, and Music
This past week has been a whirlwind of activity! Brent’s birthday was on Wednesday, and we decided to celebrate with friends by heading into Albuquerque for some Karaoke fun. It was a casual, lighthearted evening filled with laughter, good music, and a great way to unwind.
While planning the outing, our friends mentioned needing help transporting a BBQ grill and a bike back home. Initially, we considered handling it during our trip on Saturday for the **Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band** show at Black Wall Arts and Production Black Wall Arts & Productions (doors at 6 PM, $10 tickets!). But since we were already in that part of town on Wednesday, we made it part of the evening plans.
Our stop for the night ended up being ** Bossfight Brewing Company **. It was our first time there, and we loved the small, friendly atmosphere. Brent and I aren’t big drinkers, and we always prioritize safety, so I told Brent I’d drive so he could enjoy himself. However, our friends offered to be the designated drivers, and after trying the **Watermelon Cider**, I happily took them up on their offer.
Let me just say, that Watermelon Cider was a game-changer for me. I typically don’t like the taste of alcohol, but this drink was a pleasant surprise. I ended up enjoying three of them! Brent found a favorite of his own with the **Black Magic Lager** and is already planning a return trip to grab a growler.
The night was made even more memorable thanks to DJ Tobbyriffic , who went above and beyond. When he learned it was Brent’s birthday, he got the entire crowd to join in singing “Happy Birthday.” Watching Brent enjoy himself, singing, and soaking in the moment was the highlight of the night. Even though he wasn’t performing as **Advocatus Diaboli**, it was clear he was in his element.
Overall, it was a fantastic evening with friends, music, and good vibes. If you’re ever in Albuquerque, we highly recommend checking out Bossfight Brewing—and don’t forget to mark your calendars for our show this Saturday at Black Wall!

From Amigo the Devil to Advocatus Diaboli: Unforgettable Music & Passion You Don’t Want to Miss!
The Passion of Performance: Celebrating Music and Memories
Brent’s birthday is just around the corner, and this year, Anne surprised us with tickets to see Amigo the Devil—a show we always enjoy. Watching Amigo’s passion on stage reminded me so much of Brent’s (aka Advocatus Diaboli) energy when he’s performing. Brent thrives on the joy of connecting with his audience, hearing them sing along, laugh, and share in the love of music.
I’ll admit, I’m not the biggest music person (which might sound odd given that I live in a house filled with it). For me, the magic is in watching the performers and the crowd—their reactions, their passion, the shared moments. Performers who truly love what they do bring an unmatched energy to the stage, and it’s a joy to witness.
Over the years, I’ve had the chance to see some iconic bands live: Rob Zombie, KISS, Judas Priest, Metallica, to name a few. While some of these performances were filled with raw passion, others felt more like just another show. The big-name draw might make the experience worthwhile, but without that spark of genuine love for the craft, it can leave something to be desired.
That’s why I’m always excited about performers like Amigo the Devil—and, of course, Brent and the Grim Leafer Band. Their dedication to their art and their audience is evident in every note, every lyric, and every laugh they share on stage.
If you love music, laughter, and the thrill of a live performance, don’t miss **Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band** on **December 21 at Black Wall Arts and Productions**. Come out and support not only the band but also the venues that make these incredible shows possible.
Let’s make it a night to remember, filled with music, joy, and the kind of passion that makes live performances unforgettable!

New Date for Music in the Desert Saturday: Supporting Metal Mayhem and More!
At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, our focus is on supporting the community rather than competing. With that in mind, we’re rescheduling our Music in the Desert Saturday Talent Show and Karaoke to the following Saturday, August 17th. This new date coincides with our Anime, Cosplay Contest, and Talent Show.
This change allows us to support Stage Luchetti and Red Gorilla Studios LLC , who are hosting a night of Metal Mayhem in Albuquerque. We’re excited to see everyone at these fantastic events and look forward to welcoming you to our own event on August 17th right here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center!
Community Rally: From Pickup Truck Troubles to Rocking Red Gorilla Studios!
**Today’s the Day: Heading to Red Gorilla Studios!**
Today, the team from Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, along with a few campers, is excited to head to Red Gorilla Studios in Albuquerque for the Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band show!
We had a bit of a hiccup as our pickup truck broke down at the post office in town yesterday. Fortunately, our amazing community of neighbors stepped up and towed it home. After some investigation, we discovered that the starter solenoid had gone out. We’ve ordered a new one, but in the meantime, our generous neighbors are towing our trailer for us.
Living out here, our community has evolved from a group of strangers into a close-knit family. Despite occasional disagreements, it’s heartwarming to know we can rely on each other. We’re grateful to be part of this supportive community and look forward to the show!

Unforgettable Night at Stage Luchetti: Advocatus Diaboli & Grim Leafer Band Live!
Exciting Times Ahead at Stage Luchetti!
Next Saturday, Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band will be playing at Stage Luchetti in Albuquerque, and we couldn’t be more excited! We decided to check out the venue beforehand to see what it’s like, and we have to say, we were thoroughly impressed.
The atmosphere at Stage Luchetti is wonderful. The owner, Rick, and his family are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a vibe that’s not much different from what we strive for here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center. Although we didn’t get a chance to meet the first band, MUerTAPHORIA, we did get to meet Falling Fire. All I have to say is: great people, great band!
Advocatus Diaboli is thrilled to be playing at Stage Luchetti next weekend. We fully support what Rick and his family are doing for the local music scene. If you’re in the area, we highly recommend checking it out and giving your support to Rick, his family, and the local bands.
On a related note, we’ve recently encountered some criticism from a local promoter who sees us as competition. We want to make it clear that it’s not about competition—it’s about supporting each other. The success of one venue helps lift the entire community. So let’s come together, enjoy some fantastic music, and support the local arts scene!
See you next Saturday at Stage Luchetti!
