I have a vague memory of Kix’s first release, be it alone for those vivid green letters the band name was – and still is – written in. Musically I don’t remember very much, except one song ‘Atomic Bomb’, I guess at that time there were other bans around I was more interested in. and that’s about it, neither me or my friends bought other records by this band.
So it was with a bit of a surprise to learn this band still existed. It seems they have even been writing new stuff for a new album that should be released somewhere in 2013.
Now you know live albums are not my favorite to review. And not knowing most of the songs made it even more difficult. However it became quickly clear that Kix still have a huge fan base. And I discovered some hidden gems they have written. Some of their songs are real killers.
The album is available on CD, DVD, or a digital edition.
These guys, not in the same line-up of course may have been around for 30 years, yet they still bring their music with lots of energy. I must admit I’m looking out for what their new album will bring us.
