Maxeen forgoes Motion City Soundtrack / Tsunami Bomb tour to focus on writing

SideOneDummy three piece Maxeen have dropped off of the upcoming Motion City Soundtrack / Tsunami Bomb / Limbeck tour. According to the band's website they will instead remain in Los Angeles to work on their second full length. They report that the writing process is "taking longer than expected, and the band wants to be sure that their second record is not just a mediocre effort." That full length is due in early `05. The tour will continue as scheduled for the other three bands, with a yet to be announced fourth filling Maxeen's spot.
