The Snax

Template:Infobox musical artist The Snax was a band from Agoura Hills, California formed in 1995.

Lasting all the way until 2002, The Snax released two studio albums - "Run Joseph Run" on June 1, 1998 and "Snax" on April 17, 2000.

Dave Farrell (Phoenix) from Linkin Park was a bass player in the band until October 22, 2000, when he left to rejoin Linkin Park. Jim Roach replaced Phoenix in The Snax. While Phoenix was a member of Xero, he left the band to honor his commitments with The Snax. Because of this, he did not record any bass on Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory EP or Hybrid Theory album.

Lead vocalist Mark Fiore from The Snax became Linkin Park's videographer in summer 2001 on the Hybrid Theory touring cycle; his first tour with the band was on Ozzfest. He continued performing with The Snax until 2002.

Story

The Snax were a Christian Ska Punk band out of Mission Viejo, California who toured in the late 1990's and featured current Linkin Park bassist, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell on bass. While attending high school, Dave joined the band (then known as Tasty Snax) and assumed the role of bass guitarist. Although Dave was trained in electric guitar, what the band sorely needed was a bass guitarist, so Phoenix opted to make the transition from the electric guitar, and has played bass ever since. The band later changed their name to Snax, from Tasty Snax, before the release of their second album under their self-titled band name.

Phoenix was a member of Xero, but took a leave of absence after Chester joined the band to fulfill his duties of touring with Snax. This is why Phoenix did not appear on Hybrid Theory, and he later rejoined Linkin Park just before the release of the album.
