GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO SKATE!

About Me

Check it out – the Midtones open for Ky-Mani Marley at the Catalyst – Saturday, December 15th…About the Midtones Bridging the gap between Santa Cruz and Salinas, the Midtones redefine California Reggae with a heavy dose of positive roots. Founded by Mike Marquez, Mony Lujan, and Andrew Nack, the Midtones came together as a Livocation to friend and drummer Eric “Stello” Costello who passed away in a tragic skateboarding accident. The trio called upon Skinner Dread on keys and Jahremy on drums. Stay tuned for future shows and works from the Midtones. www.myspace.com/themidtones..
