Its been over ten years since the OC ska band Save Ferris has gotten together to play a show. This April, Monique Powell scheduled a show at the Fairgrounds with The English Beat. What everyone didn't know was that it wasn't really going to be a real Save Ferris show because Mo never even bothered to invite the original memebers of the band. It was news to the rest of the band that she was even doing this but since social media spreads news like wildfire word got around quickly. Though if they were asked they would of been interested in a proper reunion show for the fans. The boys released a statement on Facebook letting their fans know that this wasn't going to be a reunion show and that it was solely going to be Mo with a bunch of people that had nothing to do with the original members.
"…We feel it is important that fans of the band Save Ferris know that this is NOT a reunion show and the show will NOT include any original or former Band member other than Monique Powell. We have not authorized Monique Powell to perform under the name Save Ferris and the original and former Band members regret any confusion to our fans that may be caused as a result of any misleading statements or marketing materials disseminated by Ms. Powell or any other parties connected to this concert engagement. From what we can infer by the marketing and advertising materials we have seen thus far, this engagement is simply a Monique Powell performance of Save Ferris material accompanied by various musicians, who are unknown to the Band…"
    Monique was unable to comment on the confusion she has caused, then released a statement on Facebook saying that the rest of the members were too busy with their new band (Starpool) and couldn't join her. Well, if you ask me it's pretty difficult to join someone in something you weren't invited to.
"…Just to clear up any misinformation that may be out there — while I had hoped this could be a reunion of sorts with all, or some, of my former SF band members, unfortunately that isn't the way it looks to be turning out. Some of my former band mates are currently in a band of their own which they are fully committed to and which I completely respect. While I am certainly disappointed that they won't be joining me, I wish them all the best always…"
    Being a fan of Save Ferris and Starpool it's a major disappointment for me to think that someone could be so selfish. How unfair is it to us  the fans, that she was going to try and trick us  into supporting solely her,  on top of that how could she do that to her former band mates? Bill Uech, Eric Zamora, Brian Mashburn, Brian "Tbone Willy" Williams, Evan Kilbourne, and Oliver Zavala are all awesome guys and frankly don't deserve the disrespect, or the lies. I was also very bummed because as much as I love Save Ferris' music there was no way I was going to pay to see something that wasn't what it was suppose to be. Which ment I would never get to hear my favorite songs preformed live, or did it?  
    I was invited to a house party that Tbone Willy was throwing with Oreskaband playing in his living room. Let's just say my 90's childhood dream was fulfilled, way more than I could of ever asked for.
