Hobnox partners with The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. The partnership provides Hobnox's recently launched online music channel, Mi145, with the exclusive broadcast rights to this New Year's Eve Throwdown reunion concert.

The partnership kicks off with a six-part documentary, Road to the Throwdown, which follows the Bosstones on their exciting road back to the stage after a five year hiatus. The episodes feature exclusive footage, rehearsals and interviews with band members Dicky Barrett, Joe Gittleman, Joe Sorois, Tim "Johnny Vegas" Burton, Ben Carr, Lawrence Katz and Chris Rhodes as well as industry influencers sharing their perspectives on the Bosstones' impact on other musicians and the evolution of punk music.

This will be the 10th Hometown Throwdown for The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Mi145 will chronicle the Bosstones as they headline five nights at the Middle East in Cambridge from December 26 to December 30. The final show of the Throwdown will take place at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, R.I. on New Year's Eve and will be shown in its entirety on Mi145 in February for a limited time only.

Each episode of Road to the Throwdown chronicles the band's history, its impact on music, fan reactions to the reunion news, and the creative process of the band coming back together and rehearsing for a huge concert series. Several episodes are now available on Mi145 and additional ones will be added through January 2008. The episodes include:
