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.

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!

Plateau Hame De Colquhoun store front


The tiny store front is almost finished! Just need to get the building in place, and paint it before we can start getting the inside setup!
To stay with our Modern Pioneerism this building was originally a shipping box, that we have fixed up, reinforced it with osb, and redoing a few of the frame pieces.
Now we have to wait out today’s winds before we can do more. Until then it’s laying on the ground to help protect it from the winds until we can move it and get it staked.
I still need a name for this little store front. Post your suggestions in the comments!

Snow Capped Mountain views
View of the Snow top mountains from Plateau Hame De Colquhoun . This morning the 6th of January most of that snow is gone. But still very beautiful views. When we looked at the property before purchasing the views were the selling point. 75% of the views are mountains, we can see Mount Taylor by Grant, Sandia by Albuquerque. We do get military aircraft traffic, a lot of refueling practices, maybe even a few UFOs.

We have a 2023 Haunted Hay ride and after-party in the works, along with some concerts, possibly open mics. And a few other events.
