MxPx’s Big Moment
The trio will launch a club tour March 5 in Jamaica, then head back to the mainland for a concert two days later in San Antonio.
So far, the itinerary keeps MxPx in the Midwest and West, but the band is expected to expand the tour through at least May, including a swing through Canada.
Right now, stops confirmed include Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, St. Louis, Denver, Las Vegas, Hollywood, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle.
Since graduating from high school in 1995, the members of MxPx have traversed the continent several times, slowly building a solid fanbase their own way – mixing indie punk mentality with a heavy dose of DIY.
That ethic earned the trio a recording contract with A&M Records, which released their major-label debut, Slowly Going The Way of the Buffalo, and opened the door to the big time.
Last year, the boys from Bremerton, Wash., earned a slot on the Vans Warped Tour and gigged with The Offspring and Cypress Hill as a support act in addition to an extensive headlining tour to start the year.
