At The Show

Performer: MxPx
Engineer: Bill Stevenson; Stephen Egerton
Producer: Bill Stevenson; Stephen Egerton
Distributor: EMI Music Distribution

Notes: MxPx: Tom (vocals, guitar); Mike (vocals, bass); Yuri (vocals, drums). Recorded live at the 930 Club, Washington, DC on August 24, 1998 and the TLA, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 25, 1998. At the Show captures MxPx live in concert, running through 22 songs taken from nearly all of their albums. The band's punk-pop style has long favored the latter half of that term, and although these versions are sometimes rawer, they stick more to that original feel. It's intended more for devoted fans than anyone else, but those fans will likely find this to be the definitive live portrait of the band. ~ Steve Huey

MxPx were a spunky trio of Pacific Northwest teenagers with discreetly Christian lyrics and a crisp, tight attack when they were signed to Tooth & Nail Records in 1994. They released three albums for the label and then defected to A&M Records, where bigger budgets afforded them grander production and a busy touring schedule. Being exposed to enthusiastic crowds during the late-'90s heyday of pop/punk paid off, and by 2005, the band had built up such a loyal following that they decided to leave A&M and record independently, pursuing a leaner punk sound. MxPx also helped pave the way for a bundle of emotionally driven pop/punk acts with lyrics that, while not expressly religious, dealt openly with matters of faith.
