Reptets at Divided Sky in Meyers.

Fresh off the road from a triumphant summer tour of Canada, Seattle’s Reptet (Monktail Records) will be touring the US West Coast to promote their new, 7 vinyl release entitled, Agendacide. This will be their fifth West Coast tour in the past three years and their first new recording since 2008.

Winners of two 2007 Earshot Golden Ear Awards, this genre-bending band is comprised of six multi-instrumentalists who have an expansive approach to music, performing original compositions that incorporate jazz, rock, ska, punk, modern classical, avant garde, eastern European folk and more. Their latest recording is being released as a digital download as well as on 7 red vinyl, accompanied by stunning cover art by the late great illustrator, Jim Flora. It also features a guest appearance by the world-renowned keyboardist Wayne Horvitz on Hammond organ.

Their critically acclaimed 2006 CD release, “Do This!,” won numerous accolades, appeared on the year-end top-10 lists of many jazz critics and was chosen the top Record of the Year by Jazziz Magazine’s Alex Gelfand. Their 2008 CD, Chicken or Beef? was chosen finalist for Jazz Record of the Year by the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards and has been lauded by luminary Simpsons creator, Matt Groening.

With one year in the new building under our belt, we once again would like to take the opportunity to gather members and supporters for the 2nd Annual Tahoe Maritime Museum Member Meeting. The goal of the meeting is to share information on the state of the museum, our 2009 successes and plans for 2010. The meeting will begin at 10am, followed by a light lunch.

A suggested donation of $10 includes lunch and meeting materials.

Grass roots groups from around the world are planning the International Day of Climate Action this October. In response to this movement, the Environment Team of the Parasol Community Collaboration is planning to sponsor a local public event in Kings Beach on Oct. 18.

The goal of the Day of Climate Action is to mobilize citizens around the world to make their voices heard regarding the need for tough action on climate change.

Organizers of the event plan to photograph participants holding a banner with a statement of local support for tougher atmospheric standards. The photograph will be taken following the close of the Sierra Nevada Alliance Annual Conference (http://www.sierranevadaalliance.org/conference) at the North Tahoe Event Center. Participants are asked to gather at 2pm, at the event center.
