Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band: A Night at Mini Red Velvet Underground
A Memorable Performance
Yesterday, **Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band** had the pleasure of performing at the **Mini Red Velvet Underground**. This cozy, intimate venue provided the perfect atmosphere for our unique blend of animatronic-driven performances, parodies, and original music.
We debuted our new song, **”Setting the Scene,”** and implemented some changes to the animatronic setup. While there were a few glitches, that’s part of the charm and creativity that makes our shows special. The audience’s energy and the venue’s vibe made for an unforgettable night.
The Post-Show Pitstop Gone Wrong
After our shows, we typically stop for a bite to eat and unwind before the long trek through the desert roads. This time, we chose ** Arby’s at Love’s in Belen, New Mexico**. However, we encountered an unexpected situation.
At **10:15-10:20 PM**, we lined up to order, only to be informed that **no orders could be taken during a shift change until 11 PM**. We’ve never experienced this before and weren’t willing to wait 45 minutes just to place an order. With a group of five, that was a decent chunk of revenue lost for the establishment.
This stop is usually where we **critique the show**, discuss what worked, and identify areas for improvement—especially when testing new songs and techniques. Unfortunately, this experience disrupted our routine.

**Advocatus Diaboli & The Grim Leafer Band – Live This Sunday!**

**A Community That Cares at Ka-Hoon Campground**
At **Ka-Hoon Campground**, we’ve been fortunate to host some incredible campers who appreciate the **privacy, security, and sense of community** we offer.
One camper recently shared their experience, suggesting we tell their story:
– They had trouble unhooking their camper, and we were able to provide a jack and assistance.
– Later, their vehicle’s battery died, and thanks to our jumper box (which also tests battery health), we discovered it needed replacing. After a quick jump, they made it to town to purchase a new one.
– They felt **safe and supported**, something we provide naturally but don’t always highlight.
These moments remind us why we created a **membership-based campground**—a place where you can be yourself, have your own space, and rely on a community when needed.
**Booking Reminder – Don’t Just Show Up!**
While we love meeting new people, we ask that all visitors **book in advance** through our website or contact us first. We welcome campers, members, and venue users, but as a **private property** in the middle of the desert, security is a priority—for us, our guests, and our neighbors.
**Members and campers are welcome to have guests**, but please give us a heads-up so we aren’t caught off guard. **We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to hosting you!**

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

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.

Behind the Scenes: Preparing for the Epic Advocatus Diaboli Performance!
**Embracing the Heat and the Challenge**
The days have been scorching, and we’ve been hard at work in the studio preparing for Saturday’s performance by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band at Red Gorilla Studios in Albuquerque. We’re implementing many exciting changes, which has been a considerable amount of work. As someone who isn’t naturally musically inclined, learning to operate three animatronics and synchronizing parts within a song has been quite a challenge.
Despite the difficulties, I’m pleasantly surprised at how I’m picking it up. With support from those around me and a lot of practice, I’m starting to see how everything is coming together. I’ve found myself enjoying the process more than I expected.
Having never grown up around music, I never imagined myself in this role. However, I’m embracing the challenge and am committed to succeeding where I once thought I couldn’t. The effort is well worth it, and I’m excited about the progress we’re making.
