Ruby Tuesday | THE DEVILS

In the organizer's words:

The Devils from Napoli / Southern Italy embody the ultimate sound of chaos. Their style is primitive, full of sex, sin and rock'n'roll. But their fans all over Europe know that it's more than just playing with clichés. For their first two releases on Voodoo Rhythm Records, "Sin, you sinners!" (2016) and "Iron Butt" (2017), they worked with producer Jim Diamond from The Gories (White Stripes, The Sonics).

Their third album "Beast Must Regret Nothing" (2021) was produced by Alain Johannes (QOTSA) and includes a song with Mark Lanegan of the Screaming Trees.

The album "Let The World Burn Down", released in February 2024 on Go Down Records, was produced by Alain Johannes (Queens Of The Stoneage, Them Crooked Vultures, Chris Cornell, PJ Harvey). This album has rightly been celebrated by the press and fans throughout Europe

The Devils are Gianni Blacula (guitar) and Switchblade Erika (drums/vocals). Founded in 2015, they named themselves after Ken Russell's legendary film "The Devils" (1971). The energy that this duo radiates is enough for a four-piece band. Musically, they are clearly in the same league as acts such as The Cramps, Hound Dog Taylor, The Gories, Jon Spencer, Hasil Adkins and The Oblivians.

On the release of the live album "Live at Maximum Festival" in 2023, themidlandrocks.com wrote: "Live At Maximum Festival is the ultimate distillation of The Devils' experience. Raw and rumbustious, this recording is a musical sacrifice to the deity rock n' roll, and Live At Maximum Festival is your invite."
