Howling Diablos Clean Up at Detroit Music Awards

It was a big night for a veteran band at the Detroit Music Awards.

Funk-rock stalwarts the Howling Diablos and front man Tino Gross snared eight trophies to dominate the proceedings at the 21st annual DMAs, staged Friday night at the Fillmore Detroit.

Gross took outstanding record producer honors, while the Diablos scored trophies across a variety of categories, including R&B group, urban-funk group and rock-pop recording for the album "Ultra Sonic Gas Can."

Winners in 72 categories were recognized Friday. Last year's six-time winner, Ty Stone, swept his three nominations, including outstanding country artist and songwriter.
