Who the hell did I see them with, Waylon? I think so....

YEP! You remember correctly. That was an AWESOME show!!

BTW... found yellow ZINGERS in the veding machine at work today. Can you guess what I'm eating RIGHT NOW?? Laughing very hard

Me too...I even have the Thunderground unreleased album, and several demos under the names The Generators and Shooze. Have all the Funny Money stuff as well. LOVE this band...easily one of my Top 10 favorite bands ever, regardless of genre.

Haven't really heard much of their stuff besides "Don't Close Your Eyes" which i love, and a couple other songs that didn't impress me much.

Kix are awesome!!! I love all their records! Midnite Dynamite is my personal favorite. I just heard The Itch on XM Radio's The Boneyard earlier.

I think Kix are great ! Have'nt put out a bad release as far as I'm concerned. Got to see them live (Midnite Dynamite tour) opening for KISS.

detuned wrote:: 4. None of the albums (even the live ones) EVER quite duplicated what these guys could do on a headlining gig. Steve Whiteman was a raving lunatic, he played saxophone on some tracks...never heard on the albums. Donnie Purnell (the real mastermind behind the band) was also a whirling dervish on stage. I remember seeing them once in Cumberland MD and during the first song he cut the side of his foot open on something sharp at the front of the stage...it was bleeding like crazy. He didn't skip a beat, after the first track he grabbed one of Whiteman's scarves, wrapped it around his foot and played the rest of the gig. At the end of the night there was blood all over the stage.

Kix brings back alot of memories....

love them & saw them many times; that post^^ reminds me of how we were listening to them talk about past shows back in the day & they were saying some crazy stuff like "that halloween show where we had that cauldron thing onstage" & maybe they something like steve was dressed up like a witch stirring it...? we were just like "why can't you do some of this stuff when you play in OUR area!?? Twisted Evil

" regardless the shows were a mile a minute & action packed--loved when they brought the big balloon bag out everytime..!

Just got this one, and I liked it way more than I thought I would. Huge hooks (as is the norm for these guys it seems), and on the second half of the album, the harder rocking quotient picks up quite a bit.

Yeah the hooks are huge...it's unlike any album i've heard. It's a great new wave/hard rock/power pop crossover that's totally unique...the only thing i've heard similar is Candy's Whatever Happened To Fun (1985).

OK, I could be way out in left field here, but wasn't there some kind of connection betweeen Candy and the Electric Angels (another band which I've wanted to grab for awhile).

Regardless if I'm wrong or not, a new wave/hard rock/power pop crossover is a pretty accurate description of 'Cool Kids' Cool
