On October 31, 2007, our band, The Ginger Ninjas (www.myspace.com/gingermyninja.com), and SHAKE YOUR PEACE! (www.ShakeYourPeace.com), launch the "Pleasant Revolution Tour," a rock & roll bicycle tour spanning over 5000 miles and playing over 90 shows from the Sierras in N. California, to the pyramids of Chiapas, Mexico. No sag-wagons, and no buses hauling gear: everything, including the 800 Watt human-powered PA System, will be hauled entirely on bicycle! A 14-person entourage makes the core, joined by bicycle and music enthusiasts all along the route. The tour is expected to last about 4 months.

The goal of The Pleasant Revolution Tour is to share the joys of sustainable and creative living through the spectacle of the bicycle rock & roll road show; to show America that a different way of living is not only possible, but more rewarding; to bring something positive from the U.S. to Mexico. We also hope to promote our music and of course, rock.


We're looking for a professional drummer who also loves biking and adventure to accompany us. YOU NEED TO BE EASY TO GET ALONG WITH AND A STOKED TRAVELER.

Since we're primarily a music tour, and secondly a bike tour, we're not going to be covering 100 miles a day or anything crazy like that. We'll average 20-30 miles a day, but you'll need to be in hearty condition. WE HAVE NO SUPPORT VAN! So all of the drums will be distributed and hauled by members of The Caravan on bicycle.

Compensation: All your food will be provided by the tour. Additionally all your bicycle gear needs will be totally taken care of including your Xtracycle Freeradical (www.Xtracycle.com). You will also share in gig revenues and merchandise/cd revenues.

Due to the extreme adventure nature of this expedition, it's CRUCIAL that you can imagine seeing it through to the end ~ we need someone who's going to roll as strong and long as the tour will.


Organized by the minds behind The Bicycle Music Festival (www.BicycleMusicFestival.com), and the Xtracycle sport utility bike (www.Xtracycle.com).

Yes, we're crazy. Are you?
