DEC 20

yo dudes!!!

I've got a short update here on the happenings in the MPB camp. We're about to start actual (as opposed to virtual) rehersals for our still-tentatively titled upcoming record "Do Not Resuscitate". My hard drive is bursting at the seams with lame drum machine demos that need to be transformed into real jams that really rock and don't sound so stupid. So thats going to begin happening this week and there will be tons of Chin Chin fueled rock creation happening out on Staten Island.
I've been listening to Wolvernine Blues 3 times a day as well as lots of Danko Jones, Peeping Tom, Gadget and Integrity. You can bet that Justin's listen habits have been markedly more obscure so there is going to be some pretty sweet elements going into the MPB rock blender this time around....can't wait to get this show on the road.

And speaking of getting this show on the road, MPB is going to be heading down to Mexico for a weekend of shows on February 9,10 and 11. This should include shows in Monterry, Mexico City and Guadalajara and all of us are super excited about this! Dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
Seeing that the last show we played was in Auckland, New Zealand and the next one we'll likely play will be in Mexico, we'll also be getting some US dates together for the springtime where we will be debuting some of the new DNR jams. Shit! this short update turned into a kind of long one. Thanks to everyone that supports us in all that we do, See you soon!

MAY 20 -Murder Capital

Australia dates up in the shows section, check it!

APRIL 16th....Gotham City

YO! last night we played our first US show of 2006 with Damnation AD and 108 in DC. It ruled to share the stage with such great bands and to see kids going off and having fun. Definately one of the most fun hardcore shows in recent memory....thanks for the warm welcome home! We have another show with 108 in Jersey this Monday and some select US dates getting put together for May/June so be on the lookout for that.... The final routhing for our June European tour with Ringworm and Damnation AD is posted in the shows section so go have a look! We'll be hitting most of the big fesitvals in that period, playing some club shows in between and getting totally ignorant in every city we hit. Can't wait! Right after Europe, we'll be back to Australia/New Zealand in July. Dates for that are coming together, anticipation is rising and everyone in the MPB camp is getting stoked! We had the best time there last time so can't wait to be back.. Cachoeira Tropical 4 life!...see you soon!

FEBRUARY 18 - BACK ON THESE SHORES....NYC

YO! so it's been a bit since we did a news update here and alot has been happening in the meantime.

We just finished a month long Europe tour with our good friends in Turmoil (those dudes are out of control!) and had a totally amazing time. The "Bloated and Loaded/Too Dumb to Sleep/We B Keepin It Real Out Here" Euro 2006 tour was a great success to say the least. Big thanks to Doomcloud for opening the shows, those guys are like twice as heavy as Crowbar!

Up next, we head to Brazil this week to play two shows at the Liberation Fest in São Paulo! This is an honor and an amazing oppurtunity for us play in South America. We're super psyched for it! Thanks to the Liberation dudes for all their hard work setting it up and making it happen!

We'll be back in Europe in June for a festival tour with Damnation A.D. and Ringworm and then we'll be back to Australia/New Zealand after that. No rest for the weary!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our shows, picked up Merciless and made 2005 another great year for MPB. We'll see you soon!


DECEMBER 1 - ONTARIO, OR

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us on the road with Hatebreed. We had a bl'ast. Good times, great oldies.

We're back out now with some awesome bands; With Honor, Modern Life is War, The Distance and This Is Hell. Check the shows page and come out !

Our new album, "Merciless", is out now and available everywhere. You can sample it and hear it online here.

Our first video off the new record is for the song "Shark Ethic". Check it out here. It will be premiering on M2 and Fuse real soon.

2006 will bring MPB back to Europe and Australia/New Zealand and we will finally be hitting Brazil!, so stay tuned!

As always, thanks for the support!

Good night, and good luck.
