Laguna Niguel, CA (May 16, 2007) - Adding to the on-track excitement of the 2008 AMA Toyota Motocross Championship Presented by FMF, the New York-based band Ten Man Pusha will support their debut album and popular singles "In the Dirt" and "Kingdom of Fools" with supporting concerts throughout the summer season.
The band can be seen live at seven of the 12 events on the schedule, including two-day outings at Budds Creek and Unadilla. Led by singer Lonnie Park, whose brothers-in-law are professional riders Rodney Smith and Steve Hatch, Ten Man Push is quickly becoming a household name thanks to the feature of their top single "In the Dirt" on VS Network's Racer TV. In addition, the band's music has been a significant element of the infamous "Nitro Circus" DVD's featuring Travis Pastrana and friends doing logic-defying stunts on their bikes.
After receiving accolades from the Soundoff Awards for the Best Modern Rock CD of 2007, Park, lead guitar player John West, drummer Nate Horton, and bassist Dave Hoyt have kept the throttle wide open, playing for hundreds and thousands of enthusiastic dirt lovers. Beyond playing at the hottest events the country has to offer this summer, the boys of Ten Man Push will also play at a myriad of venues coast to coast, including a trip to Europe. Their entertaining live show and hard driving music make listening to the band an addicting experience.
Be sure to check out Ten Man Push at their various tour stops and take the opportunity to witness one of the fastest rising bands in the industry. For more information about Lonnie, John, Nate, and Dave and a full schedule long onto http://www.tenmanpush.com.
