The Expendables Winter Blackout Tour 2012 with special guests MTHDS, Through The Roots, and Fortunate Youth |
LAKE TAHOE, NV – The Expendables Winter Blackout Tour 2012 is coming to the MontBleu Theatre, Saturday, February 11, 2012. Special guests include MTHDS, Through The Roots, and Fortunate Youth.
Tickets are just $18 in advance, or $20 the day of show, and available at all Ticketmaster outlets, and at the MontBleu Box Office, or online at www.ticketmaster.com You can also purchase by phone by calling MontBleu Resort, 775-588-3515.
The Expendables enjoyed a laid-‐back lifestyle growing up in Santa Cruz, CA; surfing, skating, partying, and playing music were commonplace. Since 1997, The Expendables have staked their claim in the California surf/rock genre by headlining venues from coast to coast. Blending Reggae, Punk Rock, and 80s style dueling guitar solos, The Expendables have made heads turn and floors shake for years.
The band consists of four longtime friends: Geoff Weers (Guitar and Vocals), Adam Patterson (Drums and Vocals), Raul Bianchi (Lead Guitar) and Ryan DeMars (Bass). The first seven years of their career was fueled with three full-‐length, completely independent releases. No Time To Worry (2000), Open Container (2001), and Gettin’ Filthy (2004), would bring in a combined total of over 40,000 units sold with no physical distribution and no record label.
While touring and supporting their album, Gettin’ Filthy, The Expendables would share the stage with Slightly Stoopid and catch the attention of founders and front men Kyle McDonald and Miles Doughty. In 2007 Slightly Stoopid formed their own independent label, Stoopid Records, and signed The Expendables for the label’s first non-‐Stoopid release, which was The Expendables self-‐titled. Released in September 2007, the album would be accepted as an instant classic by fans and received rave reviews from critics.
The band continued supporting the album with hundreds of shows over the next two years, gaining fans around the world, and respect from the bands that influenced them. The band would share the stage with bands like Slightly Stoopid, NoFX, Less Than Jake, Pennywise and Pepper to name a few. At the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010 the band would work on their next album Prove It produced by Paul Leary (producer of Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, Pepper, Supersuckers, as well as the guitar player for Butthole Surfers) and El Hefe (guitar player for NoFX).
Prove It was released May 11th 2010 debuting at #158 on the Billboard Top 200,
#30 on Billboard’s Independent charts, and #4 on Billboard’s Heatseekers!
The album also pushed to #15 on iTunes Top 200 and #5 on iTunes Alternative Charts, jumping The Expendables to a new level in their career. The band’s new release would include guest performances by C-‐Money, OG, and Dela of Slightly Stoopid throughout the album. Jumping into the mix as well would be long time friend G. Love on the ballad “Wells”.
The Expendables have continued their tenacious touring schedule in 2011 and was a featured band on all dates of the massive yearly festival favorite, Warped Tour. Moving into 2012, The Expendables will be ringing in the New Year with Slightly Stoopid at Hard Rock Live in Orlando, followed by their annual Winter Black Out Tour, traveling through the West and mid-‐West on a 14 date run.
Thirteen years later, five albums down and countless miles covered, The Expendables show no signs of slowing down.
Joining The Expendables will be special guests MTHDS, Through The Roots, and Fortunate Youth.

In 2012, Groundation is Building An Ark..... |
The long-awaited new studio album, from the internationally acclaimed Jazz/Reggae/ Fusion group Groundation, will be released world-wide in March 2012. Cover art has just been released and is attached. Album Artwork Video
February tour details below....
((( GROUNDATION )))
Proudly Presents Their 12th Annual Bob Marley Tribute Tour
There are few today who are not familiar with the ubiquitous music of Robert Nesta Marley. So who better to help celebrate and share his revolutionary work with new generations of fans than the biggest, most respected American Reggae band touring the world today? And with all that is happening in these times–from the uprisings in the Middle East, Africa and Europe, on over to the Occupy Protest Movements dotting the map across numerous cities here at home––what better time than now...
In just the last few years, Groundation's following and influence has begun to spread significantly, now reaching to all corners of the globe. Truly leading a movement of music, centered on the tenets of social justice and equality for all that are the hallmarks of Roots Reggae, the band in the last 12 months alone have played to tens of thousands of fans everywhere from Auckland, New Zealand to Casablanca, Morocco; from Athens, Greece to New York City, and all points in between.
It is no wonder then that Groundation's singular blend of Improvisation-based Jazz/Fusion, live transcendental Dub and thunderous one-drop Reggae has become the soundtrack of a generation of people across the world who are committed to living their lives in a better way––a more conscious and balanced lifestyle, with music as the chosen weapon of social change. In 2011, Groundation took their annual Bob Marley Tribute Tour to Europe for the first time, where their unique take on the King of Reggae's timeless songs was received with overwhelmingly positive reviews. To put it simply––no one plays Reggae music the way Groundation plays Reggae music and the same can be said for their singular take on Marley's distinctive melodies.
To be sure, this is not mere mimicry built for frat-boy-style sing-alongs. Groundation plumbs the depths of Marley's deep, under-utilized catalog to present a collection of songs and an overall concert experience that will challenge and enthral everyone from the most hardened Reggae aficionado to the first-time initiate. Once again, the realities described in such Marley songs as "Burnin' & Lootin,'" "Guiltiness," "Rat Race" and "Ambush in the Night" are splashed across front pages everywhere. You've heard Bob Marley before, but never like this. This show is simply not to be missed.

Weapons of Mass Connection in a City with a New Direction |

One Love Nutrifest | New Beginnings: Feed your Heart, Body & Spirit a Wholistic approach to wellness through workshops, demonstrations and World Beat Music
February 18, 2012 at Grand Central Park in Downtown Miami
Miami, FL (January 27, 2012) Grand Central Park, the newly landscaped grounds of the old Miami Arena comes alive with the One Love Nutrifest, a celebration of our collective souls and the magnetic energy that unites us all as a planet. This collective soul is very much alive in Miami’s ever-changing melting pot of rhythms colors and flavors. This beautiful city is the perfect metropolis to host a festival, created to highlight and promote the qualities that make us similar instead of the differences that divide us apart. The main denominators that fraction off this city’s diverse population are cultural ignorance and economic status. Therefore all of us here at Rockaz MVMT (pronounced Rockers Movement) have set out to utilize weapons of mass connection such as music and art to battle hunger, poverty, and injustice with love, rhythm, and good vibration.
It is exactly that vibration that is the main ingredient of the Reggae Sound Systems, which has broken through every possible cultural barrier to conquer the hearts of so many human beings throughout the world. It has broken chains in the name of righteous emancipation, mutated into Hip-Hop in the Bronx, Jungle in the UK, New School Dub Europe, and multiple fusion derivatives in Latin America. Reggae music has done all of the above while continuing to spread its natural mystic to every remote corner of the planet promoting a natural lifestyle along with its message of One Love.
Consequently that message along with sonic diversity are the reasons why a glowing constellation of musical stars was chosen to provide the soundtrack for the inauguration of Grand Central Park in Downtown Miami on February 18th 2012 a President’s weekend that will be remembered for years to come. The carefully hand picked line-up represents the new generation of roots and culture. This is a generation that carries on the essence of the Afro-Caribbean sonic tradition while displaying its evolutionary movements and hybridized blends. These lively recipes illustrate not only where it all comes from but also where the genetic future of this cultural treasure is headed.
It will be a unique experience whether we’re jammin’ to the rub-a-dub style revisits of The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Radiohead by the Easy Star All-Stars.
Swaying to the jazz infused roots cocktail with lyrics that center mostly on socio-political and ecological issues of Puerto Rican legends Cultura Profetica. Whether we’re vibing to the revolutionary love anthems of Chilean group Gondwana standing tall and strong in a peace-loving position of musical and lyrical creation, or the soulful energetic punch of Jahfe. Whether we are holding hands to the melodic one drop beauty of Midnite, the legendary St. Croix roots reggae group who tells us to "keep good relations" with one another, despite the corporate greed and political discord around the globe, or getting our brain twisted by the raw metaphor lyrical sculptures of Ephniko. Delivering a message of hope and patience will come from TheMessenger himself Luciano with his long awaited arrival back to the United States after many legal battles and canceled performances RockazMVMT have successfully secured his entry to perform at OneLoveNutrifest. Whatever you listen to, feel, or experience on this very special day in Miami’s history will show that all the artists chosen to represent One Love Nutrifest presentedby Rockaz MVMT are parts of this iconic bridge to unite this city’s diverse population.
 Get ready to rock on to the tunes to which our rapidly growing city is dancing to. The sweet and spicy grooves oozing out of speakers in a city that has blended tropical weather and art deco. Welcome to the eruption of new high rises and a downtown steaming with interesting people walking in and out of galleries, world class murals, international cuisine centers, and a pulsating art scene. What city can really serve as a better backdrop for such an extremely rich musical movement. Now add all these ingredients together the sum equals what many people are calling “The City of The New Millennium.”
The Budweiser One Love Nutrifest is scheduled for Saturday February 18, 2012 at the brand new Grand Central Park 721 NW 1st Ave in Downtown Miami. Gates open at noon till midnight. General admission $30. Free admission between noon and 2pm.

Do You Love Reggae Music? The 19 Annual 9 Mile Music Festival is Confirmed for March 3, 2012 |
 Miami, FL. The New Year has brought about a new venue for the annual Miami based Reggae music festival. This year (2012) the following artists are scheduled to perform; Stephen Marley, Damian Marley, Julian Marley, Reggae Living Legend Burning Spear, Wale, Capleton, Cocoa Tea, Tarrus Riley, Collie Buddz and New Kingston, Kevens, Djakout #1, Nu-Look, Kehv and a Special Guest Appearance by Melanie Fiona. Tickets for the event are available at www.9MileMusicFestival.com.
About The 9 Mile Music Festival: The 9 Mile Music Festival began as a labor of love, Pioneered by, Cedella Marley Booker. Over the years the festival has had other names including "The Caribbean Music Festival" finally evolving into what is known as the 9 Mile Music Festival today. This reggae music event is more than just your average "concert", it has a commitment to doing good and spreading love. The 9 Mile Music Festival is responsible for collecting over two (2) million canned goods over its 18 year span, in an effort to continuously give back to its community. Four canned goods are required for entry, along with a purchased admission; the canned goods collected are then distributed to shelters in Miami & Jamaica.
 About Historic Virginia Key Beach Park:Virginia Key Beach, once accessible only by boat, was established in 1945. In 1982 the City of Miami closed the park and it remained shuttered until the Grand Re-Opening in 2008 when local citizens formed the Virginia Key Beach Park Task Force in response to plans for private development of the property. In 2002, Historic Virginia Key Beach Park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Come visit our beautifully renovated venues which celebrate the distinct cultural, recreational and ecological past of this tropical paradise.
The 9 Mile Music Festival has chosen this Historic location as the venue for 19th Annual 9 Mile Music Festival. This decision was made largely because this venue offers what the fans want; a bigger venue, easier parking and longer hours to enjoy the reggae music.

If you wish, and we really wish you wouldn't, like to be removed from this list, please reply with REMOVE in subject line.
It will make us very sad if you do, and perhaps your removal will be the one the makes us decide this no longer worth doing at all, and all the information we provide will go away forever and musicians will sit home alone at night and cry because they have no one to play for because no one knows about their shows. Your call?.. |
