Sometimes this whole band and music thing is draining and just when you’re getting discouraged something amazing happens!
December 10th – Five-Sixty Nightclub
December 14 – The Comodoore ballroom
December 20th – Gossip Nightclub opening for LMFAO
All these shows are 1000+ person venues. Big stages, Big sound, Loud guitar…. Lovin it!
September has been really busy so far! – We played the Merritt Mountain Festival on Labour day weekend, and the big back to school UBC party at Vancouvers hottest new venue – Five-Sixty this last Wednesday! There was about 1000 people at this one and was a lot of fun! Then the weekend came and we were shooting all day Saturday and Sunday for our single – ROBOT RADIO.
I will be busy recording guitars in my home studio for the next couple of weeks for this track! AND of course teaching my awesome guitar students!
Check out some wicked pics from our Five-Sixty show on Facebook. They were taken by my brother Colter from VideoinVancouver.com!

This is seriously what I wrote in my High School Graduation yearbook writeup:
“In a few years you will either see me playing guitar on the sidewalk for pocket change or you’ll see me on MTV!”
Well, what can I say!! 2009 was great getting radio airplay from the Fox and having 2 bands in the Top 10 Seeds contest – But 2010 tops all that! I am determined to keep this momentum going!

YOUTH ELECTRIC is a reality TV show about 3 up and coming musicians hustling to make it big in Vancouver, B.C. One of the main 3 is the singer/rapper in my band – Tito Deville! Needless to say, his portion of the show is about the TITO DEVILLE BAND. This is just the pilot and we hope to do more filming and episodes with MTV. Stay tuned!
