Come and watch us sing and play

Here's some updated information on the upcoming MTX shows.

Besides filling in some details, there are two major changes/additions:

--we've added a show in Sacramento on 2/7, Capitol Garage

--the 3/3 show has been moved to Fitzgerald's in Houston, TX

We're still working on a few shows at the tail end after 3/6. More on that soon.

Shows:
Sunday - 1/18/2004
Chain Reaction, Anaheim, California
1652 Lincoln Ave., Anaheim, CA 92801
w/A Futile Xistence, Third Day Promise, Redlight Sting, Fingers Cut Megamachine (ex Osker).
doors at 7pm, a/a

Monday - 1/19/2004
Casbah San Diego, California
2501 Kettner Blvd., San Diego, CA
w/Visqueen, the Prids
doors at 9:15 pm.

(I'm really looking forward to seeing Visqueen, Kim Warnick's current band.)

The Troubadour Hollywood, California
9081 Santa Monica Blvd, Hollywood, CA
w/Number One Gun, This Holiday Life, The Scotch Greens, The Dollyrots
doors at 7:30 pm, a/a

(This show is one of those crazy deals where they ask you who you're there to see when you go in, and they keep a tally of what people say-- the bands get paid according to this tally. You can use this information any way you choose, and play it as you like for your own personal reasons, but if you say you're there to see the MTX it would be a big, big help. ;-)

Yikes...Cambridge? Oh well, I'll try to go anyway.

According to the Talking Head, the Baltimore show is with the Beatnik Termites and the Proteens.

Uh-Oh...Most of these links aren't working :-(

That Troubadour show sounds like the Iowa caucuses!

Posted by: Nick at January 17, 2004 07:04 PM

Can't wait to play with ya in Fort Worth, it's going to be great. Have you heard anything else about the early acoustic show from Matt Riggle? I wasn't sure if it was happening or not.

In my humble opnion the MTX should do a world tour and one of the countries included should be Brazil... I'm funking sick of dreaming about the day that I'm gonna see you live and those crappy live Mp3 that I found on the Web don't fill my urge for you guys! haha...
Hugs!
From one of a million of fans in Brazil...

Oh no, I've gone and gotten myself confused... are you playing at the Capitol Garage on the 7th, 8th, or both?

Posted by: Theo. at January 18, 2004 05:37 AM

Theo, it's the 7th. That was a typo. Fixing it now.

Posted by: Dr. Frank at January 18, 2004 06:33 AM

Nice "Monkees" reference Frank. Was I the only one pathetic enough to catch it?

Posted by: Channon at January 19, 2004 06:53 PM

Listen to the band, motherfu--er!

For the 2/8 Portland show: According to the Meow Meow web site, the venue has recently changed locations, to 320 SE 2nd. This should probably be confirmed.

Posted by: Chris at January 20, 2004 01:43 AM

to check out the new line up. I have been to
a show in almost a couple years.

MTX should come play video games at my house after the show on February 23rd.

Posted by: Thom Dunn at January 20, 2004 11:51 PM

Or how about playing checkers with some lonely old man? Those old folks don't have much to fill up their days, they'd appreciate a nice visit.

Atlanta's taping MTX flyers to *all* their telephone poles. =) Beware the Earl, however; they're cutting out your 'under 21' demographic.
