(They¹re now in their entirety at www.skankproductions.com/thirdearlinernotes.htm ) ...In 1999, Maimon met Ronnie ³Stepper² McQueen, the original bass player for Steel Pulse, who was also living in Southern Cali- fornia. They connected immediately and Stepper soon joined Mongoose as an integral part of the sound and vibe. A year later, they recorded and released a 5-song demo EP produced by Stepper, called Special Edition. Consisting of Clear Night, All Yours, Soul People, Puff And Relax and Police Terror, it showcased the band¹s tight sound and the maturing of Maimon¹s song- writing. But it was void of lead guitars and harmony vocals and was never considered a finished product. They toured in support of it, though, as they were selected for the NACA convention [National Association for Campus Activities] which resulted in the band doing college tours and ultimately playing throughout the U.S. Since 2001, they¹ve been playing steady gigs on the West Coast (with appearances at the Montreal Jazz and other festivals) and evolving musically; honing their sound and getting tighter as an ensemble. In 2005, they were preparing to press new copies of their EP when Skank Records stepped in with a bigger idea. This disc was originally going to be a compilation of different tracks from [their debut] Soul Deliverance and Special Edition (with added overdubs) plus two new songs. After hearing the subtle changes to the EP tracks, as well as the brilliance of the two new tunes, it was decided to scrap the older material (except for Slumber City) and go with even more new songs. Believe me when I say the results are stronger than strong. Puff And Relax was kept the same but all the other EP tunes were altered. Brand new harmonies, guitars and even some new vocals from Maimon add a whole new feel to the tracks. And the other new songs are fantastic, from the opening scorcher, Come To Pray, through the updated version of Soul People. There¹s even an absolute crucial tune, Uman, which is sung in French over a hard-core roots vibe. The music on Third Ear is dramatically smooth - totally fresh, yet familiar - with just over one hour of urban, rootsy tunes. And once again I felt it was imperative to have a booklet with info and lyrics, to totally absorb Maimon¹s consciousness and message. Maimon and the Mongoose Band, as they are now officially known, have come up with a classic and I¹m truly proud to present it to the world. Turn it up, skank it hard and enjoy. - Professor Skank (#994) For more info, and to listen to song samples and purchase this cd, check out: www.skankproductions.com/skankrecords.htm [8] *=*=*=*=*=*=*= *=*=*=*=*=*=*= *=*=*=*=*=*=*= >From: Roots-ee [Reggae Ambassadors Worldwide #1414] Subject: the ark band : april 2007 Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2007 07:51:53 -0400 APRIL 2007 Thu 5 Scarlet And Grey - Columbus, Ohio 2203 N.

Reggae and hip-hop fans will love this show on Friday, April 14 at The Tahoe Biltmore in Crystal Bay, NV (north Tahoe).Doors are at 8:30pm and music starts at 9pm. Tickets are $20. Eek-A-Mouse, known as ³the tallest mouse in the world² stands at 6 feet 6 inches and is loved for his bubbling lunacy and original style of ³sing-jaying², an early form of toasting Œpon the mic. His hardcore fans love his half-baked humor, pointed social commentary and unique take on current events. His long career, which began in the mid-70s and his many albums, have garnered him accolades worldwide as an international phenomenon quite apart from the rest of the Reggae world. His sound so unlike any other, is equal parts singing, DJing and disconcerting Oriental-esque weirdness which keeps Reggae lovers raving about this rodent. The Mouse¹s band, B-Foundation will open the show with some of their own songs. The underground scene of reggae-influenced rock bands continues to grow and at the top of the list is The B Foundation. Shows are packed, girls are dancing, party busses are getting filled, and the scene is evolving. There have always been stand-out bands of this genre throughout the years. Most people just relate this sound to the band Sublime. But others, like The Police and The Clash, also had phenomenal success and are a huge influence on the music scene today. This rock/reggae scene started growing and growing, and now is undeniably one of the biggest live draws on the West coast and around the nation. Many bands are having success and having a great time doing it. The B Foundation was formed in 2001 in Arcadia, CA with one thing in mind: taking over the world! With a few small changes over the last four years, the B Foundation has found an awesome lineup and a distinguished sound and have played on many stages since 2001, from your backyard to sold-out venues across the country. From city to city the shows are filled with good people who know how to have a good time. Lead guitarist Gyl Bonus (formerly of The Family Dog) has one the most unique guitar styles in the music business. His fast fingers set the tone and energy for every live performance and his riffs are unmatched. Singer/guitarist Patrick Stevenson is one of the most charismatic people in Los Angeles. His vocal range is amazing and his guitar playing is the foundation of The Foundation. Patrick has developed into an excellent songwriter and his personal take on the world vibe can be heard in THE B FOUNDATION songs. The rhythm section is solidified with Bassist Jason Moorehead and Drummer Ian McGrath. Together the two are seamless on stage and in the studio. The B Foundation released their first full length in March of 2004, entitled The Deep End. It's available at www.thebfoundation.com and at certain Los Angeles record stores as enjoys international distribution including Japan. They have also licensed their music to many different companies over the years and have an extensive film-credit history. The B Foundation has been a part of many successful compilation CDs, including The One Big Family album. The band has been touring in support of many national acts (Slightly Stoopid, Pepper, Common Sense, Long Beach Shortbus (Members of Sublime and LBDA), Kottonmouth Kings, OPM, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Fishbone, ZebraHead, English Beat, Authority Zero, The Skeletones, Dubcat, Half Pint, Bargain Music and many more) and has been the headliner at The Bank of the West Beach Games Featuring the U.S. Open of Surfing the last two years.

Since forming in 97', Mystafya has shared the stage with reggae greats such as Bunny Wailer, Steel Pulse, Third World and "the Teacher" Toots and the Maytals (7 times) to name a few! Mystafya has also had the pleasure of performing at Reggae on the Lake, Renegade Festivals, Music that Matters headliner, and the Monterey Bay Reggae Fest, as well as other Northern Cali hot spots. Mystafya achieved mp3.com's #3 reggae download and rated #21 out of the top 30 reggae albums of 2004 (bahilman/sky.fm). Still one of the internet's top reggae/dub bands for the past seven years, Mystafya is carving their own niche in reggae history. Members of the group take pride in their own roots: Born in St. Thomas, in the Virgin Islands, Franklin "Big Frank" Williams' lyrics speak of his experiences growing up in and experiencing, first-hand, the ghettos and shanty towns of the third world, and his growth and vision as he became "Rasta conscious." Jamal Walker, a native of Northern California, speaks of Godliness and equality through his lyrics. Growing up, Jamal became heavily involved in Gospel music and spirituality, while staying tuned in to the hip-hop and reggae worlds. Joe Thayer, a modern rootsman and long-time reggae musician, Joe delivers the heavy- steady bass lines expected in reggae music. Through his roots bass style, he successfully brings the music a real "reggae vibe". Scott "DrummieX" Wilson has been marked as the number one roots-rock drummer in California. His knowledge and skill shows as he captures the original rockers sound. Scott's beats keep audiences on their feet for hours. Kimbuck Williams, a true rocker, comes from a diverse background of music. His leads and rhythms add soul and fire to the music, allowing Mystafya a unique opportunity in today's reggae market. Original member, Saxaphonist Doug Davies has reunited with the band to add his accomplished horn lines and melody that first put Mystafya on the worldwide musical map! Coming from the soundlabs of Lucusfilms, Frank Maranzino, has filled our long needed quest for a reggae keybordist. An incredible musician in his own right, Frank brings great musical understanding as well as a great riddem! Finally, our secret weapon!! Mixologist Mike, the envy of soundmen who hear his mixes. When not on tour, Mixologist Mike can be seen ( heard) at Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, Earthdance Festival, Renegade Festivals, and with many other professional shows coming through Northern California.
