INFORMATION: www.lastdaysaloon.com, 707-545-5876, 707-884-4703 BIOS: EEK-A-MOUSE, born Ripton Joseph Hylton on November 19, 1957 in Kingston, Jamaica is a true original. It's not only his 6' 6" height that makes him one of Jamaica's most individual talents. He has created a style all his own, and has gone on to become an international phenomenon quite apart from the rest of the world of Reggae. EEK-A-MOUSE has gained worldwide fame for his "Singjay" style -- a combination of singing and deejaying styles. With generous use of abstract utterances and outlandish costumes, his fans have learned that there's a thinking, conscious artist within this rodent. When his signature "Biddy biddy beng beng" rolls out across the crowd, the audience shouts it back as one. An EEK-A-MOUSE show is truly an "Eeksperience" that you won't forget. He is loved globally for his ludicrous, bizarre and uniquely original lyrics and style; he's a cultural toaster with an amazing sense of humor and irony. He is touring in support of his new album, "Mouse Gone Wild", recently released on RAS Records. He'll be performing many songs from this new CD and his older nuggets too. I-WORLD INTERNATIONAL ROCKERS plays dance music with African/Creole/Caribbean rhythms and sounds. Their musical infusion is a repertoire of original, hot compostions. Their enchanting flute, dancehall keyboards, jazzy, driving drums, stimulating guitar, and hynonotic bass, shake your soul, while their lyrics and vocals touch your heart. Hailing from Sonoma County, CA, I WORLD will get you on the dancefloor and keep you there! DJ SISTER YASMIN and her CRUCIAL DANCE RIDDIMS will elevate, entertain and inspire. A long-time Mendocino County radio personality (15 years this October), The Sister loves to see you dance and prance to her Reggae and World Music beats and grooves. So, get there early and support your favorite Woman Selector! *********************************************************************** In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty Forward the Reggae Vibe...Every Time !
