Fenix Tx to release new album in 2010

Contributed by mclz. Posted by adam on Monday, August 24, 2009 at 4:00 PM (EDT)

Long dormant San Diego pop punk band Fenix TX is set to hit the studio soon. In an announcement posted online earlier this month, the band revealed that their original line up of Donnie Reyes, Adam Lewis, Will Salazar and Damon DeLaPaz would hit the studio this September. A new full length is expected in 2010.

Fenix TX formed in 1995 in Houston as Riverfenix. The band's 1997 Drive Thru released debut caught the attention of Blink-182's Mark Hoppus, who managed the band up through the release of Blink's breakthrough Enema of the State. The bands continued to tour together and share management, exposing Fenix TX to much of Blink's then burgeoning audience and landing them at MCA. The group split up due to personal differences in 2002, although several reunions have taken place since.

They needed to remain dormant.

miniblindbandit (August 24, 2009)

it makes it sound like they were all in pods for 7 years...until something awoke them.

baldsteve (August 24, 2009)

Too bad their pods didn't break or pull a Futurama and strand them somewhere safe.

I love Baked Lays Chips

ahopeagainsthope (August 24, 2009)

They're so much better than regular Lays it's not even funny.

Only downside is that there's no salt and vinegar flavor. My life would be so much more awesome if that was the case.

kneel (August 24, 2009)

this is so wrong. fried > baked.

also, try out some grandma utz potato chips. they're fried in LARD. so delicious.

ahopeagainsthope (August 24, 2009)

I've had Utz before and they're awesome. I dunno what it is, I'm just not a fan of Lays regular chips, which is weird because fried anything > baked anything 99% of the time.

Still, the best potato chips are those made by Boulder Potato Company. They're so fucking good, and I used to live in Boulder, so the nostalgia makes them taste even better. Plus they're kettle-cooked.

MilesQToast (August 24, 2009)

I am soooo with you on the salt and vinegar. I actually really like the baked too. They're tasty without being as gross as regular chips. Not that I don't like fried things. I love them.

IamtheAvatar (August 24, 2009)

The original sandwich has been thrown up.

colin (August 24, 2009)

hahah

these guys already did a reunion tour so i think the vomit is just sort of smeared around on the floor.

Preston (August 24, 2009)

The dog ate it. Now HE'S throwing it up.

IamtheAvatar (August 24, 2009)

At least we know the substance quality we're dealing with.

DuffB (August 24, 2009)

"The Aristocrats!"

ChadReligion (August 24, 2009)

Why???
So they can play Everything's My Fault again everynight as their encore???

Preston (August 24, 2009)

I can't imagine any one would care. These guys were not good.

colin (August 24, 2009)

so weird. this band's first record was great, you know, in 10th grade. i mean that whole late 90s drive thru pop punk was overall mostly fun. but how they can imagine this will be successful is beyond me.

conebone69 (August 24, 2009)

Poverty calls for desperate measures

Dante3000 (rich) (August 24, 2009)

This should be under the news section, "Shit no one cares about because only 14 year old's would like this band and they were 7 when the band broke up".
-Dante

rebeccaa (August 24, 2009)

wait what

24HourPriapism (August 24, 2009)

oh okay.

maybe these guys can team up with sugar ray as part of an irrelevant late 90's one-hit-wonder pop band tour that nobody will ever see.

Preston (August 24, 2009)

Can we get SR-71 on that tour?

LookingForCorpses (August 24, 2009)

Actually, Sugar Ray had more than 1 hit and would still draw pretty well. As opposed to this band.

conebone69 (August 24, 2009)

These guys had a hit?

What a slap in the face to Sugar Ray

DrewXFishy (August 24, 2009)

fuck yes

i wish that i was cool i wish i was surfin

givemeamuseumandillfillit (August 24, 2009)

Awesome, no more sandwich jokes, EVER. Ok?

baldsteve (August 24, 2009)

You know damn well that isn't going to happen.

MattRamone (August 24, 2009)

We learned that from watching YOU!!!!

MattRamone (August 24, 2009)

Pistachios are the best of all nuts.

baldsteve (August 24, 2009)

I prefer pecans.

chickswithdicks (August 24, 2009)

i enjoy pecans because they can be used to spice up a buttertart. i enjoy pisisitisiatachios because they taste good solo, and can be made into green pudding.

you're both right.

colin (August 24, 2009)

and here i always figured you were more about men.

MattRamone (August 24, 2009)

I refer to them as balls when I'm gargling them, but thanks for playing? Whadda we have for 'im, Chuck?

All contestants on The Punknews is Right receive a month's supply of DEEEEEEEEZ NUTTTTTTTTTTTS!

Dante3000 (rich) (August 24, 2009)

I can only assume you've only ever eaten them and peanuts, because there isn't a more false statement on earth.
-Dante

MattRamone (August 24, 2009)

The list goes pistachios > cashews > almonds >who the fuck cares, those three are awesome.

Dante3000 (rich) (August 24, 2009)

First the fuck of all, Cashews would be way above pistachios. Secondly, macadamia rule your face.
-Dante

MattRamone (August 24, 2009)

I'm going to pee in your hair and set R Kelly on you.

Dante3000 (rich) (August 24, 2009)

He's going to be bummed that you beat him to it.
-Dante

Preston (August 24, 2009)

I'm partial to almonds these days, but it always varies. I loves the nuts.

nick_s (August 24, 2009)

Fried Chilli battered peanuts are the best.

Cashews are also amazing.

Then pistachios.

Cheesetits (August 24, 2009)

Gross, dude.

It's all about cashews and macadamia.

MilesQToast (August 24, 2009)

cashews are a step above peanuts. The next most common nut in any mix is always cashews. Or if its "no peanuts" mix then they also put a lot of cashews in. They are ok a little bit but they get old reeeeal quick.

nick_s (August 24, 2009)

If they tour I'm going to get as drunk as a 15 year old and pogo my arse off, bring on the cheap cider!

MyStereoHasMono (August 24, 2009)

Dick and fart jokes are stoked.

gettingdown (August 24, 2009)

San Diego pop-punk band...from Houston, TX?

ibitchslappedyourmama (August 24, 2009)

lulz
punknews is dropping the ball today

ibitchslappedyourmama (August 24, 2009)

I take that back, their myspace says San Diego.
Maybe they should rename themselves Fenix Ca

ZombieCrush (August 24, 2009)

They were from Texas, so I recall. I think they moved to SD so they could suckle easier off of Blink.

I just remember my friend was in a band recently with some dude from Fenix TX. The guy's cranium was gigantic. Like massive. I was a bit frightened.

Tom_Delonge (August 24, 2009)

They can open for me on the Love tour.

Cheesetits (August 24, 2009)

Well that just fucks everything up.

conebone69 (August 24, 2009)

I'm holding out for a MxPx reunion

Wait...they're still around?

IamtheAvatar (August 24, 2009)

I don't know about a regular tour, but they played the main stage at warped a few years ago and you couldn't get within a football field of the stage. Just the fact that they were on that stage says something.

thatguyfromthatband (August 24, 2009)

are they reuniting to ride Blink's coat tails....again?

LookingForCorpses (August 24, 2009)

My thoughts exactly.

thatsyouth (August 24, 2009)

What? Why? Did anyone actually request this?

punkbytheounce (August 24, 2009)

Yess.

Phantom_Maggot (August 24, 2009)

Because they're making minimum wage. They just can't survive this day and age.

NoControl (August 24, 2009)

haha

Tom_Delonge (August 24, 2009)

Tom Delonge laughs.

Jacktheskipper (August 25, 2009)

When they were on tour in germany with RX Bandits and the Bandits totally stole the show they played what I remember as one of the worst performances of my life ... everyone just wanted this band to stop playing and RX Bandits to come back for some more songs ... singer acted liek a real asshole on stage that evening ... no care for this reunion ...

westfield_east (August 25, 2009)

Yes yes yes yes i fucking love this band.

tonyhoag (August 26, 2009)

I was just listening to Lechuza the other day. half of that record is awesome. too bad only half.

Lars_Frederiksen (August 26, 2009)

this

Lifebystereo (August 26, 2009)

agreed. That had some good shit on it, but do they really need to get back together? Hell no. They're so far past their prime.

Stenny (August 31, 2009)

Lechuga had a couple catchy tracks, Pheobe Cates, Threesome(i think it was called that).... yeah, some good tracks off that CD, never liked the first one,
