5th Oct 2019 - Ross "Blommer" Blomfield will
make his debut performance with Devil's Dice in December in
Nottingham. (check out the gigs page for full details and
location info).
Asked about securing the position in Devil's Dice
Blommer said - "Well I'm Blommer the newest member to join Devil's Dice,
it's a pleasure to sit behind the kit with this awesome bunch of
musicians! I've been drumming ever since my
parents thought it would be a great idea to
wind up the neighbours on my 13th birthday
and get me a drum kit. I'm now 26 and
haven't stopped! I've been brought up on
80's style rock with bands like Magnum,
Thunder, Def Leppard and Whitesnake, so this
style of music is right up my street! When
seeing the advert for the guys needing a new
drummer I couldnt wait to get behind the kit
and start learning the tracks, went to the
audition at Uprawr Studio's in Birmingham
and was welcomed with open eyes, as soon as
we started playing 'I Walk Alone' everything
just seemed to click as a unit, and I knew
instantly that I wanted to be a part of this
band! Anyways I hope to see you fine lot on
the 14th of December at Albert's in
Nottingham for what I hope is the first of
many fine gigs with these lads! Bring on the
good times, its gonna rock!" Blomster 20th Sept 2019 - Please join us in welcoming
Ross "Blommer" Blomfield into the heart of Devil's Dice ! 10th June 2019 - Matt "Paz" Parrish has decided
that he will depart from Devil's Dice in July this year to fulfill
his personal recording ambitions and satisfy his stylistic desires,
a talented drummer and genuine guy - It's been an honour to have shared
many great gigs with Paz and we thank him for fulfilling his comittment
to the remaining scheduled gigs and would like to wish him every success
with his future chosen ventures. You Rock Pazza ! Of course the journey for
us continues as resolute as ever and updates will be posted later this week.
