Wow, haven’t heard that name in a million years. 

See also: Sounds like Devo is doing their last tour, and that also brings me the sads.

Kix

 

Kix popped up on my Spotify after Boston's first album ended, so i clicked on "about the artist" and learned that (at least in the opinion of the author) Poison's frontperson stole their stage game from the Kix dude.

I grew up down the road and used to see them at the original Hammerjacks back in the day. i still have an unused bumper sticker. just looking for the right stop sign, LOL.

I've been a huge fan since their first album. They are my favorite band.

Yeah, I know what that says about me.

Steve's voice is starting to go, so it is wise that they call it quits. I mean, I think they can all collect Social Security now. 

There was nothing like them in their prime.  Great stage performers, and a band that sounded just like they did on their albums. I was often disappointed by other bands at how horrible they were live.

A 45 year career is something to be proud of in any occupation.

In related news, Mick Jagger just had his 80th birthday.

Guitarist Brian Forsythe also played with Rhino Bucket. I never knew this until a few years ago when I started listening to RB and thought the guitar playing sounded similar to KIX. Well, duh. cheeky

She drinks my beer, she does my 'lude, then 5 o'clock comes and she says...

"Oh, I feel sick, I gotta go hoooooooome..."

And then she threw up on the floor!

I said, "Freeze! Freeze!  Go outside and do that!"

Quit throwing up! Don't tell me no!

TELL ME YEAH YEAH YEAH

45 years is a long time to be a bar band from Baltimore.

The version of "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" on the live album is hilarious, and Steve generally does a similar version at shows these days.

It's ok.  It really is.  I have thought of Kix as a local only (Maryland) band.  It looks Kix had more reach than I thought.

I think the last time I saw the bag o' balloons it was more kicking them into the crowd. Bones get brittle at our age. wink
