Fenix TX started out in Houston in 1995 as Riverfenix, a pop-punk crew whose name eventually got them a legal warning from River Phoenix's estate, forcing a change. Before the switch they had already put out the G.B.O.H. EP and a self-titled album, the source of "All My Fault" and "Minimum Wage", songs that ride their power chords like a skateboard down a parking-garage ramp.

Rechristened Fenix TX, they signed to MCA in 1999 and made two albums there, a self-titled set and 2001's Lechuza, which together moved more than 600,000 copies. "Threesome" is Lechuza's calling card: a big, bratty chorus, guitars cranked up high and a grin you can hear. Then the whole thing fell apart over creative differences in 2002. Singer and guitarist Will Salazar and guitarist Chris Lewis formed Denver Harbor, bassist Adam Lewis and drummer Damon DeLaPaz threw themselves into Sing the Body Electric, and Donnie Reyes joined Khobretti.

They couldn't stay away. Fenix TX announced a reunion in September 2005, put out the live album Purple Reign in Blood and took it on tour across the United States and Japan.
