MUCKY PUP: 20th-Anniversary European Tour Planned

December 13, 2008

Reactivated New Jersey crossover/hardcore band MUCKY PUP will embark on a short European tour next summer to celebrate its twentieth anniversary. The trek will tentatively feature the same band lineup that recorded the "Now" album (1991) and will see the group performing songs from its first three releases (1987's "Can't You Take a Joke?", 1989's "A Boy in a Man's World" and 1991's "Now")

MUCKY PUP 2009 lineup (tentative)

Chris Milnes - Vocals
John Milnes - Drums
Danny Nastasi – Guitar
Marc DeBacker - Bass
Kevin Powers - Keys/Samples

Upcoming MUCKY PUP shows:

Jul. 3-4 - With Full Force - Löbnitz, Germany
Aug. 29 – Elsrock - Rijssen, Holland

MUCKY PUP began as an American hardcore band formed in Bergenfield, New Jersey in 1985, when brothers John (drums) and Chris Milnes (vocals) joined up with Dan Nastasi (guitar) and former HADES member Scott LePage (bass). The band went through various incarnations and several musical style changes while gaining minor success in both the USA and Europe. Arguably, their breakthrough moment occurred when Berke Breathed picked their songwriting contest entry for release with a 1987 Bloom County comic strip compilation. However, their European success, based on strong tours and charting for the 1989 "A Boy in a Man's World" album, surpassed all recognition achieved in their home country.
