It follows a short period of practicing, and the guys decided to self produce a CD with the songs they wrote, just for fun. The band sent the CD to the German label Crazy Love Records, probably the most important in the psycho scene. Only two days later the label replied back that they wanted to produce the band. This because the CD had an interesting mix of old and new Psychobilly school sound and it was something new for the scene in that moment. In the meantime, a new member Teo (ex guitar player with the StompinMad Bats) joined the band as guitarist to have a more powerful sound on live shows, so Evil Devil began to organize the Evil Scream Tour 2002 that drove these mad Italians playing in Italy, Spain (Calella Psycho Meeting) and also several times in Germany (Satanic Stomp, Kings of Psychobilly and a lot of other shows).
After that, it followed a long period of practice to write the new songs, there was a very exciting atmosphere among the members, and in a very short time they wrote and recorded their second CD: Breakfast at the Psychohouse.
The band, despite to the short time that it took to recorded it, have dedicated more attention on the new CD. Any particular have been considered especially in terms of sound quality, backing vocals and cover art, only to mention some of the details. This because Evil Devil members knew that the new CD would meant the opportunity to have a big chance to let their songs spread all around the world Psycho scene. In fact, the Blood for Breakfast tour 2003 allowed the band to bring their madness all over the world with an amazing tour (about 30 concerts), started from Austria, passed several times in Germany (Lipsia, Frankfurt, Freiburg, Cologne, Berlin), Belgium, Italy (of course) and finally USA at Zombilly Weekender, with 3 concerts in NYC (the last one at the famous C.B.G.B.).
The third CD of the band, named "Drink to Kill My Pain" released in April 2005 had a good success and have been followed by a long tour, the "Drink to Kill Tour" that drove the band all around Europe during spring and summer 2005 and also in California, Los Angeles, at the Key Club in Hollywood, in November 2005.
Due to the big amount of shows requests, "Die in Style" Promotion Agency, organized the "Drink To Kill European Tour Part 2" that took part in April/May 2006 hitting Croatia, Austria, Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and ending up in Italy. After more than 3 years pratically always on the road, and with the entry in the band of Danilo as rhythm guitar, the band decided to take a small break to concentrate on the writing and recording of their 4th album, called "Rocker's Life", released in October 2008.
La Isla Bonita
Evil Devil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Tropical the island breeze
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
Te dijo te amo
I prayed that the days would last
They went so fast
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
La la la la la la la
Te dijo te amo
La la la la la la la
El dijo que te ama

The lyrical content of the song paints a picture of a perfect paradise where nature is wild and free, and the sun sets high above the samba music that fills the air. The song captures the romantic image of a girl loving a boy and a boy loving a girl, and the singer's desire to be in this idyllic place where he can escape the burdens of the world.

Como puede ser verdad
How could this be true?
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
I had a dream about San Pedro last night
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
Even though I've never been there before, I already knew the music
A young girl with eyes like the desert
I saw a young girl with eyes that reminded me of the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
It feels like everything happened just yesterday, it's so vivid
Tropical the island breeze
The breeze on this tropical island is so refreshing
All of nature wild and free
The nature here is so untamed and uncontrolled
This is where I long to be
I want to stay here forever
La isla bonita
This beautiful island
And when the samba played
Whenever the samba music started to play
The sun would set so high
The sun sets in such a stunning way
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
The beauty of it all is overwhelming
Your Spanish lullaby
Your lovely song in Spanish
I fell in love with San Pedro
I fell in love with this place called San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
The warm wind brought to me a message from someone on the sea
Te dijo te amo
He said 'I love you' to me
I prayed that the days would last
I wished for the days here to never end
They went so fast
But unfortunately, they went by quickly
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
I want to be in a place where the sun shines beautifully
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
During siesta time, you can watch the people pass by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Everybody here is beautiful and carefree
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl
A place where love is simple and pure
La la la la la la la
Just some singing sounds with no real meaning
El dijo que te ama
He said 'I love you' to you

I like it, but it would make a better surf instrumental.
