Watch Municipal Waste on FUEL TV’s The Daily Habit this Christmas Day at 9pm.

Municipal Waste’s latest album, Massive Aggressive, was released in August on Earache Records.

NOFX was just announced as the co-headliner with Face to Face for the final day (Sunday, February 21) of the 3rd annual Musink music/tattoo festival at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, CA.  

Saturday, February 20 will see the Buzzcocks opening for the Damned, and Friday the 19th will feature the Cult.

Apparently, the festival has expanded and will now include a second stop in Dallas in April and will feature a more country-rock lineup (Lucero, Shooter Jennings, and the Old 97s).

As a seasoned veteran of Musink, I can attest that this festival is awesome!  Tons of artists and vendors, great music, and over-priced Budweiser. Hopefully I’ll be able to continue the tradition of getting some work done at the show (more than likely the Sunday one).

Several other bands will go on before the headliners mentioned above, including Longway, the Sparring, pro skater Mike Vallely, and GFP (pro skater Tony Alva’s band).  Get more info on both festival location dates, tickets, artists, vendors, and whatever else at the Musink website.

What would Bert do?  He’d launch a tour for the band’s new album, Artwork!
