Oh hi there!
We can now confirm that our second EP has been fully recorded. It has taken about three years to do so, but it's finally in the can. All that remains to be done is mix the beast...
Tracks on the EP include 'Javert', 'Go To Bed With Terrorism', 'Bow Down To The King', 'Pissing In The Tiger's Mouth' and 'Heave'. Lots of feelings to share, lots of motions to be passed. We will be revealing the EP title and running order in due course.
In the meantime, we have been working on new shizzle and have a handful of n00bs being put through their paces. Prepare yourselves for some tropicalia and some UK garage beats over the next few months.
Hooray!

Well hello there.

It has been a pleasant year, and one in which we have played with smaller line-ups than ever before, stripping things back to five, four, and even three people at times. Hopefully this ready approach to performing will stand is in good stead for 2016.

2016 is set to be a big year for RDDC. It will see the release of our second EP, nearly three years in the making. From this launch pad, we will blast away into the Sussex stratosphere, intent in achieving our destiny of becoming the most dashing band in all of Brighton. We've seen what our peers have to offer, and now it time for us to show them what we have in our collective locker.

Thanks to everyone who has come to see us play in 2015, listened to our tracks and given our current EP a spin. It is very humbling and lovely to have you chaps about.

Hi there.

Just a wee update. We are currently in the midst of a major drive for gigs.

At present, we should have a gig on 21st April at the Prince Albert in Brighton. Hopefully more dates will follow. We will keep you informed as and when more information becomes available.

We will also have one or two videos for perusal in the next couple of weeks.

STAY TUNED.

First and foremost: HAPPY NEW YEAR! At RDDC Towers, we hope you have all had a pleasant start to January.
Somehow, we successfully managed to complete our advent calendar, uploading the following home videos:

Day 15: Tired From The Week
Day 16: Be Prepared
Day 17: Lousy Shepherd
Day 18: Hold Fast (For Christmas)
Day 19: My Fat Life
Day 20: A Spaceman Came Travelling

Day 23: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Day 24: The Fairytale Of New York

Thanks to everyone that helped out with the making of these, and to those of you who watched them.

2015 could be a landmark year. As these words are typed, young dragon Olli could well be enjoying his first breakfast as a Brighton resident. These are exciting times. Join us as we journey onwards through time, to more gigs, to a second EP, and to a bright new day.

Alright! We're two weeks into our advent calendar. Christmas is coming and we're preparing to get fat. This week we uploaded the following:

Day 9: Lakeside World Darts Championship
Day 10: Bow Down To The King
Day 11: Javert
Day 12: Heave
Day 13: The Sun Always Shine On T.V.
Day 14: Away In A Manger

More songs, dances and poems to come as we close in on the big day. Keep it festive, peeps. x

Alrighty! We're one week into our advent calendar. He's a wee round-up of what we've had thus far:

Day 1: Teaser Trailer

Day 3: The Fall Of Gil-galad
Day 4: DeutschMarc
Day 5: We Wish You A Merry Christmas

As we've now maxed out our Vimeo account, the videos will be exclusive to our Facebook page for the time being. Be prepared for more kings, deep cuts and festivity next week! x

December has begun!

Autumn's clammy grip has loosened and winter's icy clutch is upon us. Although getting out of bed in the morning is more difficult, this does mean that the festive/chocolate season is here.

RDDC will be endeavouring to make the most of this exciting time of year by bringing you an Ambitious Advent Calendar. For those first 24 days of December, counting down towards a day you may or may not celebrate, we will be attempting to post up something for your attention, be it a song clip, video or inspiring photograph.

The first of these tantalizing curios will be stomping about the internet later on this very evening. What will it be? Something old? Something new? Something covered? Something blue? Keep your eyes glued to all of our channels to find out!

Ho ho ho and jingle all the way into 2015, the Home of EP #2 - the spiritual brother to Chinese Democracy.

Giggsy wiggsy.

The sun is out and so are the Red Diamond Dragon Club. Unlike last year, we're hoping to keep on playing and playing throughout the most wonderful time of the year, and will be following up our gig this past Saturday at the Horse and Groom with an appearance at the Hope on Thursday 24th July.

The night is being orchestrated by the very nice Never Been Kissed Promotions, and will feature The Dead Reds, whom we played with at the Latest Music Bar not so long ago. Wunderbar!

The gig will no doubt be dedicated to Mats Hummels, so you'd best make sure you're there. Toll!

Well now.

In light of current events, we've decided it is important that we tell you about our next gig.

We will be playing a stripped back gig at the Horse & Groom pub on Saturday 12th July. This gig will be free to attend and it will be on a Saturday. It will also feature our good friends (who are coincidentally organising it), The Knights Project.

Why though? Why must we tell you about this gig when we forgot to tell you about the gig we played this Monday at Above Audio with Aniseed Treats? Which also happened to be free to attend?

Well now, we've had a look at the future. The fact is that in ten years time, we're going to be headlining the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. That's it, we said it. There's going to be a whole lot of controversy. People like Alex Turner, Lars Ulrich, Jo Wiley and Emma Bunton will be asking how the hell could Emily Eavis book a band to headline that are big on light-hearted whimsy and having fun. It's not fitting in with the whole metalhead hip-hop-hippy vibe.

Despite the protests, it's going to happen, and hopefully we'll be able to deliver. By that time though, we'll be superstars, and the chances of us playing a stripped back gig at the Horse & Groom pub will be next to nil. This is your chance.

We know how it all works. We know what you need to get onto the main stage at Glastonbury. You need Facebook likes, Twitter followers, Radio 1 airplay and a similar cool look to Kasabian. It's as easy as that. It won't be long before our 'Linkin Park Hybrid Theory 1,000 Facebook Likes' gig will be consigned to happy memory.

Saturday 12th July. The Horse & Groom. 8pm. Become a part of history.

Well now, we have a new gig to announce!

We return to the Latest Music Bar to play at another lovely Hush Hush event, also featuring our pals Fire At Night! Superlative portion of cooliflower! It'll be on Wednesday 14th May, a little way off, so there's plenty of time to book annual leave, find a room at a Travelodge and then prepare yourself for a night of awesome followed with a Buddies chaser. We should also have one or two new things to show you.

Hopefully further new live music gig concert events will be announced. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears to the ground.
