Rocktoberfest 2008

Hey!  Yeah, you!  Guess what?

DeVille is headlining this year's Rocktoberfest!

It's going to be at The Barking Dog, on Elm Street (just off Wisconsin, 2 blocks from the Bethesda metro station) in Bethesda, MD.  The doors will open at 8 p.m., tickets are $8 apiece.

Also performing are Alexis George, Temporary Basement and Manises.  It's sure to be a ass-kicking, rocking and rolling good time for all!

There's much more information here.

We're wicked stoked!

The Red and The Black part 2

More photos from the Red and the Black! Thanks Eleena!

The blurry sticks means he's putting extra rock'n'roll juice into it.

I want Noah at every single show I ever play. That's a dude that get's pumped!

Acoustic rock? Little switcheroo for you.

A big happy family. Feel the love.

Rocking amongst the crowd.

Go James and Noah! Get down with your bad selves! (I can't believe I just said that.)

Trevor beats the living shit out of his drums.

So emotional.

The Red and The Black! part one

We survived our official D.C. debut performance, and came out with some pretty sweet shots. Thanks a ton to our band photographer, Eleena Fikhman. So without further ado, here's some pictures:

You can't get much more rock'n'roll than tight jeans and Wayfarers.

That's how Ian felt, and probably still feels.

As all performers know, a connection with the audience is key.

Like I said, audience connection is key. So is dancing.

News, 8-12-08

All righty!

It's been a while, so here's what's new from everybody's favorite new DC rock'n'rollers, DeVille!

- Trevor's new nickname is Peter Pan (see the hands on the hips?). Ian is a Lost Boy with a nosy, Gossip Girl-esque camera phone. Peter's Wendy will remain anonymous for her protection.

- The Dark Knight is awesome, say we three.

- We have quite a few songs in the works, so when you see us at the Red and the Black in a few weeks, you'll be like, "Whoa, where did all of this new stuff come from?"

- Oh, did we mention? We'll be playing a show on August 27 with The Blue Line at the Red and the Black in downtown DC! Email us for more info.

Thanks for checking in! We'll keep you posted!

Love,

DeVille

Behind the Scenes - Alvin Ailey Showcase

After a long drive and a late night at Gabby's house, we literally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. On the other side? Manhattan!







Gabby's sister Jenel picked out her outfit, so when Gabby tried it on ... let's just say there was a wardrobe malfunction or two that led to us spending the day at the mall.










But by showtime, all was right! Gabby doesn't really wear dresses... everyone at the show was trying to figure out why.

Trevor got used to the idea of wearing stage makeup real quick when the models started talking to him.

New York, New York

So, a quick update, the show in New York went really well. I think it'll open a lot of doors for the band.
In case you missed last weekend's show, we'll be playing in New York again this weekend at a pool party in Amityville with Red Ink. You can get more info by emailing us, devilleinfo [at] gmail [dot] com.
We're looking forward to it -- it should be a good time, lots of fun to be had.
Pictures from the weekend coming soon!

Love,
The Guitar Guy

P.S. Did I mention we have tracks up on our MySpace? Comment away!

Hot Traxxx

Whoa!  It's been a whirlwind week in the studio getting demos together, but after a few marathon nights recording and a sprint across the mixing board, we have samples you can listen to!  

Our first releases are "Big Mistake" and "Same Sad Love Song."  The tracks show some of the different sides of our style -- "Big Mistake" is punk-inspired and energetic, "Same Sad Love Song" is our version of hard rock heartache.

Check them out on MySpace for now, Facebook is coming soon!

Love,

The Band

P.S. First show tomorrow night in New York!  Get stoked!  We'll have pictures from the trip up next week.  We're going to have a rockin' weekend, hope you do too!
