Trinidad Carnival 2012: Launches! Islandpeople: HEROES & Harts: WRATH OF THE GODS Tomorrow Aug. 12, YUMA: PRESS PLAY Saturday Aug. 13!

Excitement in the air, two hot bands launching and the vibes (and the online streaming) begin about 24 hours from now!

YUMA showed us a teaser section!  Costume is Tyris from the game Golden Axe (theme is Press Play, so there will be sections like Spawn, Angry Birds, Call of Duty, etc!  HOTTT!)

From my email, beautiful graphic news of the launch:

Catch the YUMA Vibe on their Facebook page, and be ready for the live streaming view of the launch via Internet!


Islandpeople Mas postponed their launch from last week and will be launching their 2012 theme HEROES tomorrow night!

Meanwhile, one of the oldest, strongest, and hottest bands has a launch coming tomorrow August 12 as well: Harts Carnival (see them on Facebook) is launching their 2012 theme, WRATH OF THE GODS, and the teaser so far, a section named Pantheon, is fierce!
