MxPx to perform in Indianapolis

A night at a live punk show can be a little hard on the eardrums. But with a staple pop-punk powerhouse coming to Indianapolis, the tympanic membranes can take one for the team.\nMxPx, which has been making power-charged, ear-shattering music since the early 1990s, will take the stage at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Irving Theater, located at 5505 E. Washington St. \nAfter an 11-year hiatus, the band has reunited with former record label Tooth and Nail to produce its eighth album, “Secret Weapon.” The tour will introduce the new album, which will be released July 17.\nTonight’s show also features Hawk Nelson, The Classic Crime, The Fold and Sullivan.\nTickets are $18 at the door. Checkered Vans shoes are optional.\nFor more information, visit www.toothandnail.com.
