This past year Kings Without has released their debut self titled CD, which they followed by a 2 month long tour, consisting of 42 shows, stretching from Vancouver Island to Montreal. After six more Western Canadian tours, the band has attracted the attention of several producers and are going to release a new album in the next six to eight months. Having played close to 200 shows a year for the past 3 years, Kings Without are busier than ever with performances all over Vancouver Island and Western Canada. For a few summers they were the house band at the prestigious Clayoquot Sound Wilderness Resort where they were exposed to the ruggedness and beauty of west coast living. A recent highlight in their music career occurred at the resort when the band backed up Sarah Mclachlan at one of her charity events. The early stages of the band's existence and development was spent under the watchful eye of the resort's general manager and former manager of Blue Rodeo, John Caton.

MOBADASS frontman Earl Pereira got his start in the music business as the bassist and co-founder of multi-platinum, three-time Juno nominee, Wide Mouth Mason. As a group, Wide Mouth Mason released five major label albums, performed over two-thousand shows, had numerous radio hits and music videos, and received many industry awards.

Looking for a creative outlet for his unique 'Island Rock' style of music, Pereira started MOBADASS as a side project in 2004. “I wanted to make music that would honour my Filipino-Canadian heritage, a project where I could mix reggae, electro-rock, dance, and soul…I’m just lucky that people ended up loving it!” said Pereira in a recent interview.
