Jazzbones to host MxPx 21st Anniversary Party

Pop punk act MxPx formed in 1992 in Bremerton, Washington. The band started out as three 15-year-old kids calling themselves Magnified Plaid pounding out music inspired by and similar to the the Descendents and other Southern California pop-punk bands. They didn’t really love their band name, however, which was a tribute to the original guitarist’s penchant for wearing one particularly loud plaid shirt. Consequently, the name was abbreviated to M.P., but in Yuri’s handwriting, periods become “XX”‘s and since he made up the show posters for the band, the four-letter moniker stuck.

Since MxPx’s inception in 1992 in the blue-collar naval town of Bremerton, Washington, the trio—vocalist/bassist Mike Herrera, guitarist Tom Wisniewski and drummer Yuri Ruley—have been mainstays in both the pop-punk and punk-rock scenes thanks to a prolific back catalog and road-warrior mentality.
