big purple party

We have a lot of fun stuff swirling around the FMX Big Purple Party alongside the rock. I'll lay out the details on some of the stuff you can check out.  Now, none of this is promised, but it's all planned.

The FMX Big Purple Party is less than a week away, and from the looks of your Instagram pics, y'all are just as excited as we are.

The FMX Big Purple Party is the shakeout, the hand picked bands from Rocklahoma and some other shows that happen at this time of year.  Some bands weren't picked because they didn't fit the bill, they plan on coming back later, they're on "vocal rest that day" or sometimes it's things as small as they weren't positive they could get all their equipment here or to the next destination on

So we sit here counting down the days to the biggest concert event we've had in forever......and we have a  chance of rain.  So what do we do? Well, in short, we get wet.

We are counting down the days to the FMX Big Purple Party! What makes the BPP so unique is the fact that there's literally something for everybody.

I don't think saying 'We Have The Best Listeners In Lubbock" is even a bold claim. It's a foregone conclusion. No other radio station even comes close and I can prove it.

Let's start at the beginning for you newbies out there.   We have a little sound effect called "The FMX Ticketmonster".  When you hear it, be caller nine to 770-KFMX and you win tickets.  Now sometimes there are some extras or options involved.

Pop Evil continues to ride the wave following the release of their third disc "Onyx". The band recently wrapped up a string of sold-out dates in Europe opening for Five Finger Death Punch.

This is the dark horse, upset-special kind of band that's going to make the concert-goers at the Big Purple Party go "who the hell are these guys?!" and if you click through, you'll already know.

For reasons out of our control, Kill Devil Hill featuring Rex Brown of Pantera and Down will not be at the Big Purple Party. The good news is we filled the spot with a band called Lesser Key which features Paul D'Amour, the original bassist for Tool.

With 2 of our biggest shows of the year coming up and separated by 5 days, we had questions on what we were gonna do about the freebies.

As the days go by and we get ready for the Big Purple Party, one thing that needs to be said is that you need to get there early to checkout the bands that play early in the day. This is the case with Devil You Know and we will let you all about them here!
