An alternative, original rock band, based in Reno, Nevada, ran a land-use and music booth at a nationally-acclaimed motocross event at Mammoth Lakes, California, in the month of June. The Peace Mafia Band teamed up with the BlueRibbon Coalition, a national trail-based recreation group, to let riders and attendees at the 2009 Mammoth Motocross know that they need to become involved in land access issues.
According to Joey Vegas, the band's lead singer, "The band and its writing style are focused on bringing people together and respecting our earth. It's a life's mission for us. We are currently working on a national radio promotion with our singles 'RIDE' and 'OFF THE GRID,' and licensing for TV and film including: MTV, Warner Bros, Fuel, Snowboard and Mike Alessi Motocross DVD."
Vegas states, "The whole Peace Mafia Band rides off-road and motocross, and we realize our land is being taken away by the day. We feel so strongly about it that we decided to team up with the BlueRibbon Coalition."
"We make music with a cause! People need to be aware of the fact that we will lose our riding areas if we don't fight for them. A lot of riders and racers stopped by the booth. It was also cool to visit with the crew from Zero Motorcycles who had the slot next to ours," Vegas concludes.
Don Amador, Western Representative for the BlueRibbon Coalition, states, "It was a pleasure working with Joey and the band regarding their support for land access at the Mammoth Motocross event. I really think this shows that BRC is trying to expand our network by getting rockers and other artists who ride involved in the battle for responsible off-road access to public lands. Getting youth on board will be a key factor in the land-use equation."
