Mountain Lions International - Orfordville, Wisconsin
&# ;Making this World a Better place to Live&# ; is the mission of the Mountain Lions International.
Sierra Leone West Africa, Wisconsin USA, and Mexico are the homelands of this culturally diverse group of musicians who met in the unlikely place of Whitewater, Wisconsin.
Mountain Lions International&# ;s roots go back to when Dan and Joe as two UW-Whitewater students began assembling lyrics. Jon began jamming with them in the basement in . Chris was sent to sit in with the Lions in Nov temporarily. Juan was added in the summer of . Each of the Mountain Lions contributes their unique skills, talents, temperament, and culture to this musical group.
The MLI first played out at the Friends of Africa Picnic in July at Dretzka Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Another years of writing lyrics and putting them to music brought the Lions to being chosen to perform in an annual &# ;Battle of the Bands&# ; event on the UW-W Campus. The Lions receiving first place for their minute set in that event was the impetus for starting to gig. It was a very exciting time for the MLI and they made sure they could perform for the three plus hours required of solo band performances in Wisconsin taverns. During MLI performed times in eight states in a variety of venues to a diversity of audiences.
MLI&# ;s &# ;Afre-rok&# ; music (a blend of African, Reggae, and Rock) is unique to them and displays the diversity of their musical and cultural backgrounds. Mountain Lions International music also represents their attitude about life; it is about all peoples of the world getting together and solving their differences, about joy and respect for one another. The MLI lives and breathes this concept; it is evident on their faces, how they treat one another and others, and in the lyrics of their original compositions they call &# ;positive vibrations&# ;.
MLI infects their audiences with the message &# ;&# ;we must love one another&# ;. Spend time with the Mountain Lions International and you will be keeping time, smiling, and asking, &# ;When are these guys coming back&# ;?

We call ourselves a rock band because we really don't know how else to define a band with as much diversity in influence as we are. Fusion would be the second guess. We focus on solid rythyms and emphasize melodic overtones, resulting in a hell of a show! Give us a shot, you might like us so much, you'll want us back...
