Live Studio Sessions: Advocatus Diaboli Brings Animatronic Magic to TikTok & YouTube!

**Studio Sessions with Advocatus Diaboli: Live on TikTok and YouTube** 

We’ve finally been able to get back into the studio! The cold weather and the need to conserve propane made it challenging, but last night we powered up the generator and spent an amazing evening in the studio. Advocatus Diaboli performed live on TikTok and YouTube, bringing their unique energy to the virtual stage. 

We’re excited to do this more often, weather permitting! You’ll be able to catch Advocatus Diaboli—and occasionally Shamshini—performing live on TikTok through Ka-Hoon Campground. While we haven’t set a regular schedule yet, we’re working around weather, solar power, and the occasional use of the generator. 

Last night, we attempted to record the show, but unfortunately, there was an issue with the mic settings, resulting in an echo. We’ll make sure to capture better recordings during the next live performance!

From Car Troubles to Show Time: How We Prepped for Tonight’s Performance Against All Odds!

**Dealing with Challenges While Preparing for Tonight’s Show** 

Life has a way of throwing curveballs, and this weekend proved it. Despite unexpected car troubles, we’re determined to make tonight’s Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band show at Juno Brewery unforgettable! 

Normally, the day of a show is reserved for relaxation and preparation. But on Friday night, while Brent picked up Anne from work, the car quit, leaving them stranded in town at midnight. I stayed home to keep the heat going, with only our 1984 diesel pickup available. Unfortunately, starting it on a cold night proved challenging, as we avoid plugging it in to save solar power. 

Brent tried guiding me through starting it over the phone, but no luck. Thankfully, two kind neighbors came to the rescue, helping Brent and Anne get home around 3 a.m. The issue? A missing belt. 

The next morning, a wonderful neighbor helped Brent fix the car while Anne and I performed surgery on Spliff (our Grim Leafer guitarist). During the last show, Spliff rocked out so hard he broke his back! After diligent repairs, both Spliff and the car were ready for action. 

A successful test drive gave us confidence, but it left no time to load equipment. Instead of stressing, we decided to handle loading today, even if it’s a bit rushed. With early departure times, late-night shows, and our loyal dogs joining the trip, we’ve had our hands full. Luckily, someone will be staying back at the campground to assist campers while we’re away. 

We’re incredibly grateful for our supportive neighbors and their willingness to lend a hand. Challenges like these remind us how important it is to have a strong community. 

Despite the hurdles, we’re ready to hit the road and make tonight’s performance unforgettable. If you’re in Albuquerque, join us at Juno Brewery for an evening of music, humor, and animatronic magic! 

**See you there!**

Off-Grid Challenges, Campground Life, and a Unique Animatronic Band You Don’t Want to Miss!

**Balancing Off-Grid Living, Campground Life, and the Band** 

As winter lingers, each day brings a touch more daylight, but our lives remain packed with activity. Between managing the campground, handling the weather’s unpredictable nature, and juggling personal commitments, things have been anything but quiet. 

Our campground has been bustling with campers, weather preparations, and engaging with our growing membership community. The off-grid lifestyle demands constant attention to ensure everything runs smoothly, from solar maintenance to accommodating guests in changing conditions. 

Meanwhile, the spotlight is on **Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band**, as we gear up for an exciting performance this Sunday at **Juno Brewery in Albuquerque**. With the band’s unique blend of music, humor, and animatronic theatrics, this show promises to be unforgettable. Preparing for a performance like this involves countless hours of rehearsals, refining timing, and ensuring every detail aligns for an exceptional experience. 

As we juggle these aspects of life, we are reminded of why we chose this path—living authentically, embracing challenges, and sharing creativity with our community. If you’re in Albuquerque this weekend, come out and join us for an evening of boundary-pushing entertainment! 

**Stay tuned for updates and insights from our off-grid adventures and band performances.**

Advocatus Diaboli & the Grim Leafer Band: New Songs & Rehearsals | Upcoming Show Previews

** Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band  : Show Update and Rehearsal Reflections**

Good Wednesday morning! The temperatures here have been quite pleasant, which makes it easier to focus on rehearsals. Yesterday, we spent most of the day in the studio, working on some new material and fine-tuning the animatronics. Of course, life brought its usual interruptions, making it a longer-than-expected session—over 4 hours of rehearsing!

I’ve always enjoyed rehearsals, even when they run long. We’re constantly pushing the show to the next level, not just musically but in terms of performance, timing, and the overall atmosphere. Each rehearsal brings us closer to enhancing every aspect of the show, from our song list to how the animatronics interact. We’re particularly excited to introduce a couple of new songs to our set in the upcoming performances, blending parody, original pieces, and our unique band dynamic.

**Upcoming Shows:**
– Oct 12: * October Music in the Desert  * at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center 
– Oct 18: * Halloween Hootenanny  * at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center 
– Oct 19: * Advocatus Diaboli & The Grim Leafer Band * at Tractor Brewing Company – Westside
– Oct 32 “Nov 1”: * Halloween Dance of the Dead at Red Gorilla Studios   *  at Red Gorilla Studios LLC

Halloween Hootenanny & Dance of the Dead: Live Performances by Advocatus Diaboli & Grim Leafer Band!

Yesterday, we took the day off and relaxed by watching football with our neighbors. After dropping Anne off at work, we enjoyed some downtime, caught a few games, and did a few small tasks around the house. It was a nice break, especially after the excitement of Saturday’s Music in the Desert Talent Show and Karaoke.

This week is going to be busy with appointments and Anne’s work schedule. We also have to take care of a few things, like putting new brakes on the car. Most importantly, we’ll be spending a lot of time rehearsing, as ** Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band  ** has some upcoming shows! We’ve got a few new songs to introduce, and we’re fine-tuning all the new conversions we’ve made. During Saturday’s show, we found an error in one of the songs, but it ended up being a funny moment. We’ll definitely be fixing that one—but we might just keep the mixed-up version for laughs!

**Upcoming Performances for Advocatus Diaboli **:
– **Saturday**: Halloween Hootenanny at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center
– **November 1st**: Halloween Dance of the Dead at Red Gorilla Studios

Day 3 in the Studio: Progress on Advocatus Diaboli & The Grim Leafer Band Show Notes

After a long day in the studio working on music and show notes for the Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band show, we’re finally making progress. It’s day 3, and even though it’s been the longest day so far, we’re about halfway through. Luckily, we’ve found some faster methods to streamline things. The heat wasn’t extreme today, but it was enough to make my phone overheat multiple times. Now, after all the hard work, we’re winding down, watching some football with a few neighbors and taking it easy.
