Maybe it's the old jealous rivalry building up in me, but at that point I had to ask them about Houston. Unfortunately, the band is only hitting Austin and Dallas this time around, but they promised they'll be coming back around again next time. They're big fans of the city, though, having played here in 2009 and 2011.
"I forgot my computer at the post office in Houston, but they kept it so I could get it back the next day!" Agata says, adding "people in Texas are nice."
Not just a fan of famous Southern hospitality, though, Agata also gives a shout-out to Houston's music scene.
"We know some Houston based bands such as Giant Battle Monster or PLXTX, so hopefully we can play with them next time when we come around Texas!" he says.
In the meantime, your only chance to catch them and hear the new "fetch" tracks make their debut is in Dallas or at Fun Fun Fun Fest, but it promises to be a set not to be missed. The album's first single, "The Hive," has made its debut on Tiny Mix Tapes and it sounds as bonkers and awesome as anything else MxBx has done in the duo's feverishly insane career.
