Circus Diablo started as a no-agenda project band for former
Cult member Billy Morrison (also of
Camp Freddy) and current
Cult member
Billy Duffy, along with
Ricky Warwick (formerly of
the Almighty),
Brett Scallions (formerly of
Fuel), and, originally, drummer
Jeremy Colson (formerly with
Steve Vai's band). The bandmembers found that their chemistry was good enough to take the project to the next level, and in early 2006 they brought
Cult,
Guns N' Roses, and
Velvet Revolver drummer
Matt Sorum on board for some studio dates. Within three weeks, the band had amassed a good pile of songs and, on April 29, 2007,
Circus Diablo signed a deal with Koch Records to release their debut album. By that summer the song "Loaded" shot up the radio charts and peaked in the Top 20. A slot on the 2007 Ozzfest tour topped off the year for the group. ~ J. Scott McClintock
