Bremerton, Washington-based pop punk three-piece MxPx just started their world tour to promote their latest cover album entitled On the Cover II and already the problems are coming out. On Day 1 in Utrecht, Netherlands, their tour bus caught fire! Guitarist Tom Wisniewski explained the situation on Alternative Press's website:"So when we got to the venue we all got some food and then went to take a nap. We were awaken by the bus driver yelling "get out of the bus now". Apparently the shore power overloaded something electrical in the bus and started a fire. Firemen showed up, extinguishers were emptied and we got dressed on the sidewalk. The bus stinks of electrical fire now and there is a new bus on it's way to us as I type this... And today was going so smoothly!?!?!?!?"
