ALOHA, TRIBE FOLLOWERS!!!
Since last year, Harmonic Tribe was actually no longer a band. They didn't 'break up' or anything, there wasnt any big drama, nobody got 'FIRED' or anything like that, haha.the Tribe was just a project/experiment from the beginning, lukas and micah nelson got together with marty (dread) one day and started jamming and decided to make a band just for fun, and one thing led to anotherbut despite all the attention and the shows and money and everything, the motivation of just playing music together and having fun during the summer stayed with them, and you could say the Harmonic Tribe 'experiment' was very successful in that way! from the very start, they made it clear to each other that they each had our own separate paths, Marty had and still has his own musical career, Divino already had another band which he plays with on Maui, Tato was still working on getting his American citizenship, and the rest of them still had high school to finish!!! so they all knew that they would eventually have to stop playing as the Tribe (especially since it started getting kind of big) and deal with life in the present moment.also, four of them (tato, andrew, lukas, & micah) wanted to expand their musical boundaries and play music guided more by their true influences and they knew that they couldn't really do that with the Tribe under the circumstances, so they have created a new band, 40 pts!

www.myspace.com/40pts 40 pts., The band, 40 pts. consists of four previous members of Harmonic Tribe.micah nelson on drums, lukas nelson on guitar, andrew kloppel on bass, and tato melgar on congas/percussion. They have created a whole new kickass sound, similar to the Tribe, yet something entirely their own. Their sound could best be described as a mix of Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Santana, the Beatles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, and Los Lonely Boys, to name a few. They've played several shows on maui, including Charley's saloon in Paia, and the Maui Music Festival 2006, among others. The band was also just in Austin, TX. playing at the four seasons hotel for the world famous 'South by Southwest' music and media festival. They were there to launch the release of the new indie record label Pedernales Records, founded by Willie Nelson and producer James Stroud. 40pts. is the first band to be signed by the label!!! They are, at the moment, finishing up their debut album which will be released this summer, so look out for it! There are some raw samples on this site for you to enjoy. 40 points will be opening for willie nelson this summer on tour from june 11th-august 2nd!!! .check pollstar.com for willie nelson tour dates this summer.

Harmonic Tribe formed in early 2005.The band started out as some friends fooling around with some sounds.After only a few months of playing together, thier first show was at the Seabury craft fair on Maui in May of 2005 under the name "Perfect Strangers". Later that year, the band was invited to perform at " Willie Nelson's annual 4th of July picnic in Fort Worth, Texas. They played under the name " Los Maui Boys".The band was a crowd favorite that day with Willie playing the whole set alongside them.
One year later, the band has completed its debut c.d. " The Awakening" and will open Willie Nelson's 2006 summer tour again with Willies picnic on July 4th as its anchor date. Focusing on original tunes from various backgrounds, Harmonic Tribe is a fresh new sound on the world stage. Blending Rock, Blues, Reggae, Latin and Soul music to create a truely original sound.
The Band Has already shared the stage with such legends as Bob Dylan, Los Lonely Boys,The Doobie Brothers, Jack Johnson, Ub40 and many more.
Look for Harmonic Tribe on the soundtrack of The " Dukes of Hazzard Part 2" blockbuster film. As well as a cameo appearance in the film by founding members Lukas and Micah Nelson and Andrew Kloppel.
