About Kix

Kix is an iconic American hard rock band that has been captivating their fans with their electrifying performances and unique sound for over four decades. Originating from Hagerstown, Maryland, Kix was formed in 1977 and quickly gained popularity in the mid-1980s with their blend of glam metal, hard rock, and blues influences. Their fans, often referred to as 'Kixters', have remained loyal throughout the years, drawn to the band's energetic stage presence and catchy, anthemic songs. Kix's original lineup consisted of Steve Whiteman (lead vocals), Ronnie Younkins and Brian Forsythe (guitars), Donnie Purnell (bass), and Jimmy Chalfant (drums). Their debut album, self-titled 'Kix', was released in 1981, but it was their 1988 album 'Blow My Fuse' that catapulted them into the limelight. The album went platinum, and the power ballad 'Don't Close Your Eyes' reached the top 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, solidifying their place in rock history. Kix's music is characterized by their high-energy performances, infectious hooks, and Whiteman's distinctive vocal style. Their fans appreciate the band's commitment to delivering raw, unfiltered rock 'n' roll, and their live shows are known for their explosive energy and crowd interaction. Kix's music has been described as a mix of Aerosmith's bluesy, sleazy rock 'n' roll and AC/DC's hard-hitting, straightforward approach, with a touch of Cheap Trick's pop sensibilities. Despite experiencing lineup changes and a hiatus in the late '90s, Kix has remained a staple in the rock scene. They continue to tour and record new music, much to the delight of their fans. In 2014, they released 'Rock Your Face Off', their first new studio album in nearly two decades, which was met with critical acclaim and fan enthusiasm. Kix has also been a regular fixture at music festivals, delivering memorable performances at events like M3 Rock Festival and Monsters of Rock Cruise. Their fans eagerly anticipate these festival appearances, where they can experience the band's dynamic performances and sing along to their favorite Kix anthems. Kix's enduring popularity is a testament to their timeless music and their connection with their fans. Their discography spans over four decades and includes numerous hits that continue to resonate with rock fans of all ages. Whether they're delivering a high-octane performance at a music festival or releasing a new album, Kix remains a beloved figure in the rock music scene, continuing to inspire and entertain their fans with their unique brand of hard rock.
