On Saturday, February 15, 2025, we took the night off and headed to Tractor Brewing Company Wells Park in Albuquerque for an evening of live band karaoke with Albukaraoque . This unique experience allows participants to sing their favorite songs backed by a talented five-piece band, offering an interactive and memorable show.
The event was a fantastic opportunity for both Shamshini and Advocatus Diaboli to rehearse in a lively setting. Shamshini, who has been working to overcome stage fright, found that participating in these live performances has significantly boosted her confidence. Since the inception of Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band project, her progress has been remarkable.
One aspect I personally love about live music is the authenticity—the occasional mistakes, voice cracks, and technical malfunctions. These imperfections make each performance unique and genuine. If I wanted perfection, I’d opt for studio-recorded music and never attend a concert.
For those interested in experiencing this for themselves, Albukaraoque hosts live band karaoke at Tractor Brewing – Wells Park every third Saturday of the month. It’s an excellent way to enjoy live music and perhaps even take the stage yourself. citeturn0search16
Tractor Brewing – Wells Park is located at 1800 4th St NW, Albuquerque, NM 87102. Their hours vary throughout the week, so be sure to check their official website for the most up-to-date information. citeturn0search6
Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just looking to have some fun, live band karaoke with Albukaraoque at Tractor Brewing offers a welcoming and entertaining environment for all.

Advocatus Diaboli & The Grim Leafer Band: Live at Tractor Brewing Company!
**Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band: Behind the Scenes of a Rainy, Hectic Day**
As many of you know, we have a unique band: **Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band**. This one-of-a-kind group features Advocatus Diaboli, Shamshini, and the animatronic Grim Leafers—Blunt, Roach, and Spliff. Our performances are a blend of parodies, original songs, and covers, with a motto that captures our essence: *”Advocatus Diaboli: Touring from venue to venue, gathering the souls of musicians and music lovers alike!”*
This past Saturday, we had the pleasure of playing at **Tractor Brewing Company Westside** in Albuquerque. The venue may have been small, but the energy was big! The crowd was welcoming, and although we didn’t have the chance to taste the local food, it certainly looked and smelled delicious.
However, the day leading up to the show was anything but smooth. The heavy rain made it hectic from the start. Our sound guy’s car needed a jump-start in the downpour, and later someone asked if we could haul their belongings into town. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the space, and since we were already battling flooded roads, I wasn’t about to let Brent load things in the rain, especially right before our show!
Determined not to cancel, we decided to leave early and book a hotel room in Albuquerque. The 11-mile drive through the desert’s dirt roads, now transformed into flooded paths, took over an hour. At one point, the water was as high as the trailer doors! Thankfully, we’d wrapped all of our PA equipment and animatronics in tarps, which kept everything dry and protected.
Once we arrived in Albuquerque, we barely had time to check into the hotel before heading over to Tractor Brewing to set up. We brought more PA gear than necessary, but it’s always better to have too much than too little. We quickly realized that using the subs would have rattled the windows, so we made adjustments. After the setup, we dashed back to the hotel for quick showers and returned just in time for the performance.
Despite the whirlwind of challenges, the show went off without a hitch! If you missed it, don’t worry—**Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band** will be back in action on **Nov 1 at Red Gorilla Studios** for the **October 32nd Dance of the Dead**!
Stay tuned for more, and follow our journey to venue to venue, gathering Rock-n-Roll souls wherever we go!

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!
