theDiligents began their relentless pursuit of the rock and roll dream by pounding down virtually every club door in the Delaware Valley in the early 90's. After continued local success, the band relocated to central Florida where they would perform over 600 times in the area, at venues such as the House of Blues, Hard Rock Live, Universal Studios and local beach clubs. "We have also established healthy followings in, GA, MN, RI, TX and the Caribbean due to the help of some very special fans." They have recorded in some of the top studios in the Orlando Market (Phat Planet, Full Sail, Greg Rike) and received substantial airplay on Clear Channel's major Rock Stations 104.1fm and 101.1fm, having hits with several of their songs. "Soleil" spent 16 weeks on the charts and was one of the most requested songs of the summer of 2002. "Spin theBottle also received substantial attention from Oasis CD, Oklahoma Radio KRSC, Orlando Radio WTKS, WJRR. M4Radio and Delaware Radio 93.7 WSTW. Big thanks to DJ's John Doe, Trippy, Jim Phillips, DJ (the DJ), Gloria, Mark Rogers, JerryLuv, Ron Betts, for all the spins over all these years, Dana McDonald (for DJing our Wedding!), Kathy Briggs and Peter Palma from Burlington County College for an awesome first interview, live concert and warm welcome home to the NorthEast.
So hop in the Van Man, and you never know what town you might wake up in. Thanks to the Internet and Cell Phones, we've been happily touring the East, West Coast, and the Caribbean for over 10 years now. Check out any of our albums, by begging a band member for their prized last copy!
Due to an increased number of available agents we are giving a special deal right now to a limited number of bands who want booking agents. To meet the criteria you need to be a band that is looking to become full time and play a minimum of 5 shows a week. We will continue to work with bands who are looking to book less shows but unfortunately they won't qualify for this special limited time offer. If your interested in this deal give us a call.
Make sure you come see us on Saturday the 28th @ The Haven. 2 of Orlando's best bands (The Watchmen and Buried Past Recall) are competing to win a free recording contract for their next album.
We're raffling off a brand new guitar from Guitar Center and The Dungeon is giving away some free tatoos and merchandise all night!
