Bicycle Music Festival European Tour: May-October 2010

February 16, 2010, by amanda

The Pleasant Revolution Bicycle Music Festival Tour: Europe 2010

A new kind of happening for an evolving culture, the bicycle music festival (BMF) merges a 1200 Watt pedal-powered P/A system, zero use of cars and trucks, and an eclectic crew of world class musicians and volunteers. The entire experience is all human powered by setting up our bikes on stage, connecting them to generators, and having audience members pedal to power the system.

Our tour will pass through Denmark, Germany, Czech Republic, Holland, Belgium, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Spain, and Portugal with a degree of flexibility to accommodate for invitations from interested events, community groups and educational centers.Quantcast

Panajachel and the future of the tour

March 7, 2009, by Josh

The group has made it to Panajachel Guadalajara where we have set up gigs everynight. We rode here from Chichicastanango, which was a cool little town. We have been playing a show every night so far and will continue to play shows here until Monday. On Monday night or Tuesday morning I am not positive bu I think we are gong to head towards Antigua and then Guatemala City and take a bus to El Salvador for the elections.From San Salvador,El Salvador we will take another bus to Costa Rica and then potenntially ride into Panama. Then afer Panama we will take a bus back up to Mexico!   I am excited to get back on the road and continue our way down south towards Panama. I am also excited to go back to Mexico where I met a lot of cool people and made some new friends.

Riding through the Jungles of Chiapas, Mexico

February 26, 2009, by Josh

On our second or third day of non stop bicycle riding from Comitan, Chiapas, en route to the Guatemalan border we came across a construction site shortly after the sun went down on our hopes of finding a campsite before dark. At first I thought there were some minor road repairs taking place, but I was totally wrong. Read the rest of this entry »

Josh with the Ninjas

January 31, 2009, by Josh

Hi everyone, My name is Josh. I am an bicycle mechanic,volunteer, bicycle advocacy supporter, as well as musician. I found the ginger ninjas while they were on their east coast tour last fall. They were looking for a show to play in Worcester. I emailed them immediately when I first read about them and listened to their music. I tried getting them a show to play but I got them a place to stay for the night instead. They play at Worcester Polytechnic Institute the day after. They invited me to go to Boston with them the day after, which was actually my birthday. I couldn’t pass it up so my natural response was YES. So we hit it off and I told the whole band and crew that I would like to join them. Well after a couple of months… Read the rest of this entry »

Bici 10

Arriving at night in Guadalajara we packed up and met our good friend Chava and started our first ride in Mexico for the 2009 tour. Since then we’ve been busy! The Ginger Ninjas first had an interview with the University of Guadalajara radio station. Next, there was a gig at a Hurana, a traditional party, where the men play and sing while the women dance. For many on the trip this was a new and really special experience with great people, music, and furious dancing. The Ninjas played at the Plaza Revolucion on Sunday, when the city of Guadalajara closes Read the rest of this entry »
