November 28, 2002 — The Toilet Boys will be the opening act for the Red Hot Chili Peppers on their 2003 European Tour. The Boys will be doing the first half of the tour, playing stadiums in Portugal, Spain, Germany, Italy and France. The second half of the tour will feature the hot-rising band Mars Volta as opening act.

"When we got this call we were so floored," says Toilet Boys' manager Joseph Janus of Fearless Management. "I mean, this is a perfect tour for them. Now every major label is calling us like crazy on this great NY band!"

The Red Hot Chili Peppers saw the Toilet Boys play an LA gig and personally requested them for their tour.
