Background
Fresh off the heels of their multiple Grammy nominations; the Marketing Factory, Inc. announced the band would headlined the fifth edition of their annual concert series, the Honda Civic Tour.[1] This outing was announced in January 2005, during a press conference at the famed Whisky a Go Go. Speaking on the tour, bassist Mickey Madden stated:
"This is the first headlining U.S. tour we've done in a long time. We're playing some of the biggest places we've ever played, which is very exciting. And we're taking out some bands that we really like and who are good friends. We grew up with Phantom Planet here in L.A. The Donnas add a nice variety. And the Thrills are a band we really like. Our crowds tend to be receptive to who we take out."[2]
During moments in the tour, the band performed standalone concerts in Toronto and Vancouver, with additional shows at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo[3] and Star of Texas Fair & Rodeo.[4]
