Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2007 11:03:46 -0700 Good Vibez proudly presents: Two Nights of CD Release Concerts for NATURAL VIBRATIONS Celebrating their latest release, ³From the Heart² With special guests, Native Elements Plus Iration & Massive Sound International Wednesday, May 2 Avalon Night Club ­ 777 Lawrence Expressway Santa Clara, CA $13 advance / $15 door Doors 8pm, 21+ Tickets available at: Avalon Night Club, www.inticketing.com & Sun Jose Hawaii Thursday, May 3 The Independent ­ San Francisco, CA $13 advance / $15 door Doors 8:30pm, 21+ Tickets available at: The Independent Box Office & www.ticketweb.com More info at: www.naturalvibrations.com and www.myspace.com/goodvibezent Maybe it¹s because both Jamaica and HawaiŒi lie close to 20 degrees latitude north. Maybe it¹s just the island thing. Whatever...reggae, the native music of Jamaica, has always reverberated in the 50th State, influencing a number of artists and bands. None have achieved the level of popularity and acclaim of Natural Vibrations, who incorporate this sound along with the pop, rock, and rap music of today to create their own unique sound. Formed in 1993 as a group of friends getting together at backyard parties in KahaluŒu on OŒahu¹s Windward side, before they knew it they were performing locally, recording, and touring on a regular basis. Today, they are one of the most popular bands in HawaiŒi, with a growing fan base on the Mainland and beyond. Natural Vibrations, also known as Natural Vibes, Natty Vibes or simply Da Vibes by their countless fans, describe themselves as a ³wild, sexually explicit, three-ring circus-like, hard-partying, fun-loving, pop/rock/reggae band.² Critics have praised their straight-ahead, no-holds-barred pop/rock/reggae style, blended with their sweet treatment of classic, timeless love and relationship themes. So it¹s no wonder that when you ask music fans in HawaiŒi, from their teens on up, who their favorite band is, the answer is invariably ³Natural Vibrations!² Indeed, their live shows are social/cultural must-see events unto themselves. Although Natural Vibrations is comprised of six very different personalities, the synergy between them is extraordinary and comes together on stage, creating a dynamic visual/musical experience. Their fans pack the front of the stage, dancing and singing along with every song. Their musical backgrounds are varied...citing influences from Prince and Michael McDonald to ³old school² Bob Marley and UB 40. Each member of the Vibes plays multiple musical instruments as well as contributes to the band¹s songwriting, and five of the guys trade off on lead vocals, adding to the strength and diversification of the show. When you see them in concert, you¹ll become an instant fan! That¹s why some refer to them as ³the Grateful Dead² of HawaiŒi. Their show is the place to go! Natural Vibrations have recorded five albums in the last 11 years: Balls Rolling ­ 1996; All Natural ­ 1998; Getting High ­ 2000; The Circle ­ 2003; From the Heart ­ 2007. They have won multiple awards for Best Reggae Album and hit the Billboard Reggae Chart in 2002. Their latest release [hitting the streets in April-Œ07], ³From the Heart,² is their first release since 2003. Vibe fanatics have been anxiously awaiting this new CD, and they will not be disappointed. ³From the Heart² features 13 new songs, and like all other Natural Vibe¹s CDs, they are all originals ‹ in fact, the band has never performed or recorded a ³cover² tune. Natural Vibrations¹ homegrown songs are described as ³rootsy, funky, rock steady and romantic, with a touch of dub,² and shows the growth and progress of The Vibes as a band that is ready to break out and become the next major international artist from Hawaii. The group has performed in Saipan, Guam, Alaska, California, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Washington, and has shared the stage with impressive list of artists: Steel Pulse, 311, Maxi Priest, UB40, Israel Vibration, Jimmy Cliff, Santana, The Wailers, Ziggy Marley, Bunny Wailer, Neil McCoy, Faith Hill, Blu Cantell, Chaka Demus, Tanya Stephens, O-Maya, Aswad, Yellowman, Pepper, Slightly Stoopid, Eek-A Mouse, Don Carlos, Lucky Dube, Big Mountain, Japan super-band ³Tube² and many more. And then there was the night on Maui when Prince couldn¹t contain himself and jumped on stage to jam with the boys. The band is looking forward to their upcoming Spring Tour (17 cities in 25 days), followed by a three-island mini CD release tour. They go to Alaska in late-summer, and are hoping to tour Japan after that. These international ambassadors of pop/rock/reggae consciously take time during each show to promote brotherhood and respect. Their mission is to promote harmony and fun through their music and lifestyle, as they share their music and positive energy with thousands of old and new fans around the world. The Vibrations are indeed Natural ‹ and they¹re good Vibrations too!

UB1 "TO THE FOUNDATION" ALBUM REVIEW Artist: Christafari Album: To the Foundation Label: Lion of Zion Entertainment It's been a while since Mark Mohr and his merry band of sanctified roots riddims ambassadors troubled us with an album. But it's finally here - and well worth the wait. As the name suggests, musically this album does have a very "old school" feel, but not so much that it sounds ancient. There's quite a lot of Trinidadian input - hardly surprising, given that Mark's in-laws (the Blackman family) are kinda like Trini music royalty. Sure enough, bro-in-law Sheldon makes a guest appearance, as do Sherwin Gardner, Mr Lynx, Ace Winn and Koen Duncan. Ragga fans who want a good jump around can go for "Rooftop". In a more thoughtful mood? Then there's the title track, or "My Defender". If you're a Ska fan, you can bounce to "The Prodigal" - real Big People Music! Either way, whatever your preference in reggae, "To the Foundation" has something to please. Nice. Review by George Luke http://www.unitedbyone.co.uk 4>. CHRISTAFARI NOW BOOKING WORLD TOUR-HELP US!

MATTHEW, "TRILOGY MIXTAPE" Artist: St. Matthew Album: Trilogy Mixtape Genre: Roots/Dancehall/Ragga Hip-Hop/Culture Label: Readyback Records Only $13.97 ALBUM DESCRIPTION: 2006 was a huge year for St. Matthew: he was featured on countless compilation CDs, contributed to albums from Gospel Reggae heavy weights such as Troy Anthony, Monty G, and Mr. Lynx, and releas ed two of his own Mixtapes. Now, with the "Trilogy Mixtape," St. Matthew is blazing more fire in 2007 with his hottest mixtape yet. This time around, St. Matthew still executes his hardcore mix of hip-hop beats and thick patois dancehall flow, but also makes room for a whole heap of roots reggae tracks. Kicking off this 22 track mixtape is "Jah Blessed Me" feat. Troy Anthony. Over a smooth hip-hop/R&B riddim Troy Anthony croons about God's blessing of the gift of life while St. Matthew utilizes a gruff delivery to sing verses of gratefulness to God. Monty G helps light up "Christian Soldiers" as he exchanges energetic verses with St. Matthew. With Garnet Silk's voice gracing the chorus, this song simply couldn't be better. With so many songs on this mixtape, it's easy to get lost, but make no mistake- this mixtape has absolutely no filler songs. Instead, St. Matthew gives strictly his best with hip-hop/dancehall tracks such as "Read It Up," "Dem Don't Know," "Love Is Great," "Hour Glass," and "When I Was Down." Roots fans are sure to love hearing St. Matthew's flow on songs such as "Wise Up," "Dry Your Eyes feat. Reena Myers," "Down In Your Heart," "Gospel Defenda," and "When I Was Down." With his "Trilogy Mixtape," St. Matthew has done it again, delivering a hot new mixtape featuring some of the best names in Gospel Reggae. This mixtape will certainly satisfy more roots fans than his last two and is a great addition to his catalog. SHOP NOW --> http://www.gospelreggae.com 5>. CHRISTAFARI NOW BOOKING WORLD TOUR-HELP US!

In fact, the opposite would be more accurate with the arrival of his twenty-second, official 'Dread at the Controls' release -" Life is a Stage'. Recorded at Anchor Studio, the "Rolls Royce of Studios" in Jamaica and mixed at Bob Marley's famous Tuff Gong studio, 'Life is a Stage' absorbs all ofthe musicianship and energy from those arenas and moulds them into what can be best described as a connoisseur's release. Each of the fifteen tracks on 'Life is a Stage' have been created by names that are pillars in the foundation of reggae music and ones most likely to be inducted in a reggae 'Hall of Fame'. Musicians like Sly Dunbar, Fully Fullwood, Dalton Browne, Larry Professor "Bassie," Flabba Holt, Lincoln "Style" Scott, Glen Browne, 'Sticky' Thompson, Deadley Headley, Bongo Herman and Robbie Lynn are all featured, keeping in mind that some of these same artists combined their talents on Mikey's world renown 1980 classic album 'World War III'. With this fresh release, Mikey has come full circle, assembling those same "founding father's of reggae" once again to provide us with another, authentic reggae gem. Mikey incorporates a multitude of themes on 'Life is a Stage' from rasta love on "Dread next Door", black consciousness on "Point of View" to the social ill's of human "Barcoding" and "Stem Cells". The addition of back up vocalists 'Brady' Ellendre Walters, 'Grace' Sonia Spence and Chantelle Ernandez provide perfect harmony alongside Mikey's natural unique voice and are effective throughout. Fans of vintage Mikey will love the rock and swing of "Soundbwoy Special", complete with trademark sound effects and will no doubt be familiar with his now crowd pleasing teaser "Pound a Weed" sung to rhythm of Dennis Brown's "Have You Ever" classic hit. As always, Mikey's earnest approach and devotion to deliver his reggae music directly to his fans will keep him on the road promoting this album during 2007. Mikey is planning to tour the U.S. and Europe again this year with the 'Dread at the Controls' band and has launched his first 'Dread at the Controls' podcast in February 2007; details of which can be found at www.mikeydread.com 'Life is a Stage' is a must have Mikey Dread recording.

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. With 2007 in full swing and a new full-length album entitled "Trouble Standing," The B Foundation is one surf-rock-reggae band you won¹t want to miss Tickets are available at Tahoe Biltmore Gift Shop, Jobys, New Moon Natural Foods, Tahoe Hemp and Recycled Records; online at www.renegadeshows.com , tickets.com and jambasetickets.com.

Incorporating a unique blend of reggae, jazz, and dub Groundation has created a global community of fans that continues to grow. Their live shows are bursting with energy and improvisation. Check this out for yourself by coming to the Tahoe Biltmore on Wednesday, April 11 at 9:30pm. In the past two years, Groundation has played shows in fourteen countries spanning four continents. Highlights include playing for over 45,000 fans in Morocco, 10,000 people in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and 15,000 during a headlining spot at SummerJam in Germany. Also, on their most recent tour of Europe they sold out 19 shows including the historic Paris Olympia Theater, which they were the first reggae band to ever play. Groundation has also played both USA premier reggae festivals including a headlining spot at Sierra Nevada World Music Fest and an inspired set at Reggae on the River. In addition they have shared the stage with many of reggae¹s all time greats. Groundation has released five studio albums that are each complex and textured works revealing the full extent of the Groundation sound. With the 2006 release of their newest studio album, Upon the Bridge, they are showing the world where they¹ve been and where they¹re heading. The album marks the group¹s first world-wide release to every continent and has been meet to top reviews in major publications around the world. Earlier in 2006 Groundation released their first ever dub album, Dub Wars. It was met with impressive reviews including 3 -1/2 stars from Rolling Stone Magazine who said, ³This collection gives the dub treatment to tracks from the group¹s stellar albums Hebron¹s Gate and We Free Again, adding a hypnotic resonance to their groove-based songs.² The name 'Groundation' came from trying to get everyone on the same level so people can talk and feel free to educate each other and learn from each other, and not come from a hierarchy or some type of leveled class situation. Groundation was founded in the fall of 1998 when three long time musicians Marcus Urani, Ryan Newman, and Harrison Stafford came together to form the core of the pioneering sound. They were later joined in 2000 by San Francisco based Jazz trumpeter David Chachere and the North Bay¹s Kelsey Howard on trombone. Drummer Paul Spina (Les Claypool, Will Bernard¹s Mother Bug) has been with the group since 2001. Harrison Stafford taught one of the only University courses on the History of Reggae Music at Sonoma State University from 1999 to 2001 Each of Groundation¹s albums tells part of the story of humanity and the individual's journey through life. Just as this story continues to grow and evolve so too does Groundation. Moving forward on a mission to bring great music and energy to the people of the world.
