KIX - Release Date


LV KIX

Recommended Posts

Looks like the newest studio release from KIX will hit the streets on July 22, 2014. It has been nearly 20 years since the last studio release. I have no doubt that this will be up to the standard that KIX set with releases like "Midnite Dynamite", "Blow My Fuse", and "Hot Wire".

 

The two songs I have already heard fit right in with old the old stuff... Can't wait for this one.

Midnite Dynamite was my first taste of these guys and I was hooked. Blow My Fuse is probably my favorite release by them. Would love to see them live. Have a few friends in the Maryland area that have seen them and say they still sound great.

I notice that this isn't being released by Frontiers. I wonder what happened there?

 

Frontiers released the "Live in Baltimore" release but is not releasing their new disc. Just found that odd.

 

April 16, 2014 -- Look for KIX-- Steve Whiteman (lead vocals), Jimmy Chalfant (drums, vocals), Ronnie Younkins (guitars), Brian Forsythe (guitars) and Mark Schenker (bass)—to release their first new album in almost two decades on July 22, thanks to their new partnership with Loud & Proud Records.

I'm really glad that they decided to do this. Their last one, Show Business, is quite enjoyable. And, of course, Blow My Fuse is one of the greatest albums of the genre.

Agree on all accounts.

Still say the S/T and Cool Kids are the best, but don't get all twitchy, Midnight Dynamite and Blow My Fuse are great too. MD being tastier imho. Even further said, even their worst is far superior to most bands...

 

They played "Body Talk" at M3, which was great! Steve said someone paid them to play it.

He said, "We got bribed. Someone paid us $1000 to play a song off our second album. We don't really like that one, but for a $1000, sure! So, just so you know, we do take requests."

It was an incredible experience. I'd seen 'em perform four times on the MOR Cruise, but this was a sold out show in their hometown. This was on a-whole-nother level.

I found this interesting:

Rat Race:

We've rarely done songs this fast. It was fun to knock it out. This one is right up Reb's alley, I like the fast paced heaviness and the lyric written by Donnie Purnell really fun to sing. With the harmony guitar solo and the Deep purple vibe, it makes a nice addition to our catalogue.

thought it was pretty interesting to see ex-Kix Donnie Purnell wrote the lyrics to this song. Wonder if this is a new lyric, or something old.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
