11.17.2006 -- Road Tips with Suplecs
by Alex Rawls. Original article in offbeat magazine.
Recently, Austin’s Reckless Kelly released Reckless Kelly Was Here, a live album that comes with a DVD that features band members explaining how they use rubber bands to tell their clean clothes from their dirty clothes, and how to keep from getting ripped off by hotel cleaning crews. New Orleans’ road warriors Suplecs have spent much of the last year trying to keep Powtin’ on the Inside, Pawty on the Outside from getting lost after Hurricane Katrina. Not surprisingly, they have a few tips for how to, ummm, have a good time while on tour.
“Since we’re a ‘stoner rock’ band we come across some killer herb,” guitarist Durel Yates says. “It’s a waste to smoke that good stuff with a paper so we make a tin foil disposable pipe. Tin foil can be obtained at any restaurant on the road. By simply rolling it around an ink pin and curling the end of it, it makes a good smoking pipe. When we’re done smoking, we simply crumple it up and throw it out the window. Then if we get pulled over by the police, our only problem is eating the weed, and that’s not really a problem.”
According to bassist Danny Nicks, “To save money on buying ‘real’ drinks, not the whale piss they give us backstage, we alternate everyone’s birthday on stage. We make the birthday announcement every night so every third night, one of us gets really loaded. People usually will buy us good drinks and shots for the whole band while we’re playing if it’s one of our birthdays. We’ll even give our merch person a birthday night, too.”
11.16.2006 -- TERRA DIABLO CLIMBS THE CHARTS AT FMQB!
The FMQB charts are out and Terra Diablo climbed from 21 to 16 on specialty albums topping the likes of the Silversun Pickups and BECK at specialty! Overall, the lads have landed in 46th in the FMQB top 100! Congratulations boys!
The fun does not stop there: thetripwire has given Terra Diablo's first record a rave review (http://www.thetripwire.com/reviews/2006/11/15/terra-diablo).
They had this to say:
"Their thick guitars take us back to the mid to late '90s alternative rock scene, and I totally dig it. ...Terra Diablo is a band to keep on your radar, especially if you were a fan of music during the heyday of alternative rock radio ten years ago. As bands such as the Silversun Pickups have proved, American audiences are ready to bring that sound back... and this Scottish quartet may be the next."
Cheers!

In the mid '90s, Gene Joanen set out to change the world through music. He, along with Dave Fortman, created Balance Recording Studio. Not content to sit back and let others decide which music to release, Joanen decided he needed to start a label. From this, Nocturnal Records was born.
Nocturnal Records has worked with Dave Fortman (Evanescence, Mudvayne, Superjoint Ritual), Daniel Rey (the Ramones, Misfits, Murphey’s Law), J. Yuenger (White Zombie, Fu Manchu), and Pepper Keenan (Corrosion of Conformity, Down) to produce some amazing music from bands like Suplecs and Fall From Eden.
Having weathered all that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita could muster, Nocturnal has come out swinging with its latest band, Terra Diablo.
