“It’s an exciting time to be in entertainment”
– Billy Morrison

Billy Morrison has always wanted to be part of a rock & roll circus. He may have forgone the greasy handlebar moustache, top hat and striped pantaloons, but with his new band Circus Diablo – quite literally “the devil’s circus” – Morrison seems to have found himself a group of misfit musicians that share his taste for all things sweaty, dirty and flashy…or in other words, all things rock & roll. “This band thrives when placed on a very thin tightrope,” Morrison says. “Fuck the safety nets.”

With a collective resume that includes bands The Cult, Fuel, the Almighty and Camp Freddy, the members of Circus Diablo know all about getting down and dirty with their music. Completed by Billy Duffy (guitar), Ricky Warwick (guitar), Brett Scallions (bass), and Charles Ruggiero (drums), the band released its self-titled debut on July 3rd and have kept busy touring the country and recruiting fans for what they’ve dubbed the “Church of Diablo.”
