Details About the Pleasant Revolution Bicycle Music Tour

On Thursday, November 1st, two bands, The Ginger Ninjas and  SHAKE YOUR PEACE!, will launch the epic
"Pleasant Revolution Bicycle Music Tour" from N.San Juan, California, heading 5000 miles all the way down
to the Mexican Yucatan. There will be no sag-wagons, and no buses hauling our gear. Everything, including
the 800 Watt human- and solar-powered PA System, will be hauled entirely on bicycle! The tour comes in the
wake of SHAKE YOUR PEACE!'s 600-mile bicycle-music tour of Utah (April-May '07), and the excitement at
San Francisco's Bicycle Music Festival, Aug. 11, 2007, which announced the emerging bicycle-music movement
to the world like a piano dropped from a 24-story window in downtown San Francisco:  with life-altering
momentum, filled with music, and destroying the oft-trod paths of old. 
 

A project of Worldbike, a 501c3 organization, the tour will be the subject of a film, a blog, and a regular podcast.
Traditional and online tour publicity has been arranged with the help of a generous grant from the Clif Bar
Family Foundation.

 Since all we need is a few pairs of feisty legs to peddle our amp system, we can make a show anywhere. 
We will be arriving in Monterey on the Friday the 16th of November. 

Recent show at the top of Bernal Heights: Pictures from 9.15.07 - Bernal Heights, San Francisco.

Peace, Shannon
