Officially the band started in 1991 and started playing shows in 1992. However, they only played a small number of shows at this stage and decided to concentrate their efforts on practicing. In 1993 the band started playing regularly in venues around Calgary.
In 1996 Chixdiggit! were signed to Sub Pop records. They released their first self-titled album on the record label, however they only lasted a short time on the label. The band left the label as they felt as though they didn't fit in with the record label's ideals. As stated by Mike from the band: "the people that actually had to sell our records and deal with us on a day to day basis were not quite so fond of us".
At this stage Chixdiggit was touring worldwide. They were quickly picked up by Honest Don's Records, a Fat Wreck Chords subsidiary from San Francisco.
After the release of 2000's From Scene to Shining Scene, the band took a hiatus, from which they returned in 2003 and in 2005 the band started writing and recording its fourth full length album, Pink Razors. The album was released April 19, 2005 on Fat Wreck Chords in North American and Bad Taste Records in Europe.

On October 31st, 2007, the band released a re-recording of their debut album, Chixdiggit!, on Bad Taste Records. The re-recorded album was titled Chixdiggit! II.

Chixdiggit! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got dibs on the stratosphere
You got me feeling just like
Everyday's a leap year
You always keep telling
I got a problem with other guys
When they're around
That I recognize
You got me watching
What I do and what I say
You got me thinking 'bout things
That don't matter anyway
You keep me down
For what I did and what I try
You had me submissive,
Now, baby, I don't care
That's why long live Moto Foxe today
Long live Moto Foxe
A baby so fine I'm in the headlights
Like a mule deer
Blowing belts, going ninety in first gear
The way you make me feel,
To you I'd never lie
I'm just looking for something that
I can identify
I'm up, I'm down
About the way you make me feel
All I can smell
Is burning rubber and spinning wheels
Ain't telling the rules
For the games you want to play
For prior service, girl,
I don't need back pay
