Part 1
Fenix TX is Willie Salazar (vocals, guitar), Damon Delapaz (guitar), Adam Lewis (bass), Donnie Reyes (drums). Originally formed in Houston, TX in 1995 under the name Riverfenix, the band got together for reasons near and dear to the heart of all aspiring rock 'n rollers: to avoid having to get boring, dead - end day jobs, and as a cure for intense boredom.
The band moved to San Diego, CA where their first fortunes took a turn for the better. They signed with California indie label Drive Thru Records and came to the attention of Blink 182's Mark Hoppus, who became their manager. "Speechless," a single from their self - titled album debut was released in 1997, receiving significant airplay, which lead to their signing by MCA.
In 1999, MCA re - released Fenix TX (the band's name was changed to avoid possible legal conflicts with the estate of the late actor River Phoenix), augmented with two newly - recorded tracks.
