Trucker Diablo

Black Freeway

Trucker Diablo

Born from the embers of Tilted and Joyrider, Trucker Diablo ooze classic rock and metal stylings with a fresh cohesive sonic assault that will make you want to sing along with every musical shift.  Their unique brand of southern-inspired blues rock fills the gaps left by the likes of Rory G and Thin Lizzy on the Irish music scene, this is a party band who know how to PARTY and are guaranteed to get every foot tapping and head banging in whatever venue they play.

Black Freeway

North Belfast quartet  Black Freeway are old school with a capital O and a capital S, and classic with a capital C.  Founded by two brothers - Matt Fitzsimons on lead vocals / guitar and Chris Fitzsimons on bass guitar / vocals - the band recently made a comeback with a new line-up, featuring Ciaran Lyttle on lead guitar / vocals, and have cemented their growing reputation with virtual non-stop gigging all over Northern Ireland.

Circadian

Formed in 2007, Circadian are a progressive power rock trio based around brothers Alex (drums/vocals) and Eoghan (guitar), whose influences range from Rory Gallagher and Led Zeppelin to Porcupine Tree and Scorched Earth.  Although still in their teens, the band quickly are establishing themselves as firm favourites on the local live rock scene and have been favourably compared to the likes of The Answer.

Paradise City

Launched in January 2010, Paradise City is Belfast’s new classic rock club, fronted by the enigmatic Monk, who delivers three hours of blistering old school rock and metal on the last Thursday of every month at Madison’s Basement.  For more information, visit www.paradisecitybelfast.blogspot.com or join the Paradise City group on Facebook.
