Kix Reunite With Past Guitarists During Classy Farewell Performance – Setlist + Video

After first forming in 1976, veteran rock band Kix called it a career on Sunday night (Sept. 17) in Columbia, Maryland. The band had announced their intent to stage a farewell show earlier this year, and they put an end to years of rocking with one final blowout, welcoming back some former members in the process and celebrating not only the band but those behind the scenes who helped them perform in six decades.

“After much thought we have decided to call it a career,” said frontman Steve Whiteman back in May. “It was obviously not an easy decision to make, but the right one at this time in our lives for our families and the band.”

The show featured the returns of guitarists Ronnie Younkins and Brad Divens, each appearing on multiple songs on their own, while pairing up with the rest of the band for the final two songs in the set, "Tear Down These Walls / Walkin' Away" and "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah."

In a class move, Steve Whiteman not only introduced the current and former band members on hand, but also allowed their concert booker, manager, sound guy, lighting guy, drum tech and guitar tech all some proper respect with a chance to take a bow as well. You can see fan-shot footage of the band's final farewell to the audience along with several song performances and the setlist from their final show below.

Veteran Rockers Kix to Call It Quits After Final Maryland Concert in September

The post Veteran Rockers Kix to Call It Quits After Final Maryland Concert in September appeared first on Consequence .

Hard rock veterans Kix have announced their retirement following one final concert on September 17th at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. It will be a hometown sendoff for the band, which formed in Maryland in 1977.

Frontman Steve Whiteman revealed the news while performing onstage at that very venue on Sunday (May 7th) at part of the M3 Rock Festival. Tickets for the final show go on sale Tuesday (May 9th) at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster . If the concert sells out, fans can also look for tickets via StubHub , where your purchase is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program.

“We’ve decided that after 45 years of doing this, I think we’re gonna call it a career,” Whiteman told the audience [as transcribed by Blabbermouth ]. “Not tonight. We’re gonna do a show here September 17th. It’s been a long, long, long road. And my health is failing. [Kix drummer] Jimmy [Chalfant’s] health is definitely failing. And we just decided we’re gonna finish up these dates through the summer. And we were gonna end in Hinckley, Minnesota. And we thought, ‘Who the fuck wants to end a career in Hickley, Minnesota?'”

Whiteman continued: “So we brainstormed, and we said, ‘We wanna do one big final rock and roll show in the area,’ because you guys deserve it. No offense, Hinckley, but fuck that. So September 17th will be our final show, and we’re lucky enough to be doing it here [at the Merriweather Post Pavilion], so we hope you all will come join us. Will you come join us for our final show? We’re countin’ on you. So, it’s sad, but it’s just time. You know when it’s time. It’s like an athlete. You know when it’s time. And I think it’s time. I’m tired. I can’t fucking do this anymore.”

Whiteman later told Metal Edge that the decision to retire was made about a year ago, before Chalfant collapsed onstage during a Kix show seven months ago after suffering cardiac arrest. Whiteman said Chalfant’s health scare “put a whole new perspective on things” and he also cited his own health ailments as a main reason for calling it quits.

“It might seem sudden, but this is a decision that I made around a year ago,” Whiteman said. “I gave it a lot of thought, decided, and announced it to the guys in the band and our booking agents. I knew at that point that I was probably going to be done by the of 2023. It’s been 45 years of nonstop rock ‘n’ roll, travel, and hanging out, and I don’t have the time to commit to it anymore. I’m 66. I’ve got neuropathy in my feet. I’m tired.”

Kix originally formed as a heavy power-pop band and were based in Baltimore for much of their career, garnering a dedicated regional following throughout the 1980s.

The band’s biggest brush with fame came via 1988’s Blow My Fuse . Produced by Beau Hill, the major-label release saw Kix embrace the hard rock/glam metal that was popular at the time, notching MTV staples with singles “Cold Blood” and “Don’t Close Your Eyes” — the latter becoming the band’s biggest hit.

Kix, Maryland’s platinum hard rockers, say goodbye to the band

Guitarist Brian “Damage” Forsythe can still clearly remember the day in 1977 that he joined the band that would eventually be known as Kix.

The Hagerstown musician, then 19, stopped at the local 7-Eleven one night and ran into another local guitarist, Ronnie Younkins, who extended an invite to join his new band with bassist Donnie Purnell.

“I remember the first song we jammed on that Donnie showed us was [eventual Kix original] ‘Atomic Bombs,’ even before we did any cover songs,” Forsythe said over the phone from Nashville, where he lives now. “Usually when a [cover] band does an original, it’s the worst song of the set. And this was a cool song, and I just remember at that point going, ‘Wow, maybe this is a good idea.’”

After spending a few years honing their sound with AC/DC and Aerosmith covers in clubs like the storied Baltimore venue Hammerjacks, Kix created their own catalog of bombastic anthems, recording seven studio albums, including 1988′s platinum-selling “Blow My Fuse.”

The Baltimore Banner thanks its sponsors. Become one.

Forsythe’s 46-year journey with Kix came to an end in 2023, when the band played a blowout farewell show at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia in September. And in an appropriate full-circle moment, the band opened their set with the song that started it all: “ Atomic Bombs .”

The band played Merriweather many times, often as part of the ’80s-themed annual M3 Rock Festival that they’ve been a fixture of since its inception in 2009. But Forsythe was a little blown away by the excitement and turnout from longtime Kix fans who came out to see the band one last time. “We usually don’t have that big of a production, but it’s kinda like they went all-out at the end,” he said. “When I looked out there, I couldn’t believe the amount of people.”

Kix’s classic lineup, including singer Steve Whiteman and drummer Jimmy “Chocolate” Chalfant, initially broke up in 1996 after grunge and heavier metal bands pushed groups like theirs out of the rock mainstream. But they reunited in 2003, playing several shows a year that usually included festivals, brief tours and annual “Kixmas” holiday shows at Rams Head Live.

Mark Schenker became the reunited Kix’s bassist, replacing Purnell, who was the band’s primary songwriter in its ‘80s heyday. In 2018, Whiteman explained on the “Cobras & Fire” podcast that it was a consensus decision to leave Purnell out of the band’s second chapter: “There was no need to bring in the headache, the iron fist, the guy that’s gonna rule and control everything.” (Purnell did not respond to requests for comment from The Baltimore Banner.)

In 2022, Chalfant suffered a heart attack onstage in Leesburg, Virginia, which led to the decision that it was time for Kix to pack it in for good. “He decided that he didn’t wanna do it anymore, just because he didn’t think he could, and Steve decided to follow Jimmy,” Forsythe said. The fall show was a celebratory night that included guests like Brad Divens, who played guitar on Kix’s 1983 album “Cool Kids.” But Purnell was once again not invited to participate as the band performed many of the songs he wrote one last time. “I don’t think he would’ve done it anyway,” Forsythe said.

In the early years, the band went by various names, including The Shooze and, very briefly, The Baltimore Cocks. “That lasted maybe a week,” Forsythe laughed. “Our manager suggested that name — he even got us jackets with that on the back — but there was no way that we were doing that.”

The band recorded its 1981 debut album for Atlantic Records under the name The Generators, when a label rep informed them at the last minute that they’d have to change it again because of a band in Cleveland with the same name. “He said, ‘We gotta know before 5, because that’s the cutoff point, it’ll delay the release of the record.’ So we all just looked like deer in headlights trying to think of something,” Forsythe remembered. The name they chose came from a song on the album, “Kix Are For Kids.” Thankfully, General Mills, manufacturer of Kix cereal, never troubled the band about the name.

With the mix of hard rock and new wave covers in Kix’s early repertoire, the band came up with a distinctive mix of styles for its original material. And while Forsythe lived in California for 20 years after Kix’s initial breakup, the band distinguished itself from West Coast “hair bands” in the ‘80s by staying in Maryland, building a regional following and resisting the glam look of their contemporaries.

“We borrowed our image from The Ramones but we didn’t sound like the Ramones. We had leather jackets and Converse [sneakers],” Forsythe said. “We referred to the California scene as ‘The K-Mart version.’”

In Baltimore, Kix have always been celebrated as hometown heroes, and you can still occasionally hear songs like “ The Itch ” and “ Girl Money ” (an ode to “long-legged Rosie from Baltimore”) on 98 Rock.

Outside of Maryland, however, Kix are largely remembered for their hit power ballad, “ Don’t Close Your Eyes .” That song, one of only three ballads on Kix’s first four albums, probably would never have been a hit if not for the intervention of Alan Niven, who managed some of the top bands of the era, including Guns N’ Roses and Kix’s tourmates, Great White.

“He just happened to be [backstage] one night. He goes, ‘How come that song’s not a single?’ And we told him that Atlantic was done with the record; they weren’t planning on putting it out,” Forsythe remembered. “He goes, ‘You mind if I ask them?’”

Over a year after the “Blow My Fuse” album had been released, “Don’t Close Your Eyes” reached a peak of No. 11 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

One of the million or so Americans who bought “Blow My Fuse,” rock critic Chuck Eddy, would become a vocal champion of Kix’s music. “I think I just happened to listen to the record, and then I pretty quickly went back to the previous ones. I probably found them in dollar bins,” said Eddy, who appreciated the humorous brand of innuendo that Kix picked up from influences like AC/DC. “It seems like Kix’s favorite topic was writing about sex as if it’s a machine exploding. I think every album has songs about bombs going off, which is good. It’s good to have themes to refer back to.”

In 1991, Eddy published “Stairway To Hell: The 500 Best Heavy Metal Albums in the Universe,” an irreverent but passionately enthusiastic book that made room for surprising artists like Teena Marie and The Osmonds in the heavy metal canon. All four of the albums Kix had released at that point were included in the top 100 of Eddy’s list, putting the Maryland underdogs in the same league as Led Zeppelin, with 1981′s “Kix” right up at No. 5.

“People always think I was just trying to pull a fast one or trying to troll,” Eddy said over the phone from his home in Austin, Texas. “I just really liked those Kix albums. I still like them.”

In recent years, Kix’s music has continued to reverberate through pop culture. “Don’t Close Your Eyes” was one of many hair metal hits featured in the Max streaming series “Peacemaker,” in which John Cena plays a comic book antihero with an affection for ‘80s hard rock. And in the 2017 horror comedy “Dead Ant,” multiple Kix songs stood in as the catalog of a fictional metal band reuniting for a festival performance (and fighting giant ants in the desert).

Even if Kix’s days of playing together are over, some of the band members may remain active in the rock world: Forsythe still occasionally tours with another ‘80s band, Rhino Bucket, which he joined in 2001, and Whiteman released his first solo album in 2021.

“I’m sort of relaxing now, and just taking time to breathe and wait for the next thing to come along,” Forsythe said. “I’ll never step away from music.”

Why Kix is Calling It Quits This Month

Kix will play their final show this month — and according to vocalist Steve Whiteman, not a moment too soon.

The Maryland rockers are set to end a 45-year career with a Sept. 17 hometown gig at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia. "I don't want to go out sucking — I want to go out being pretty good," Whiteman said on a recent episode of SiriusXM's Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk  (via Blabbermouth ). "But age takes its toll," he added, citing drummer Jimmy Chalfant's 2021 heart attack and subsequent onstage collapse last November as contributing factors.

The vocalist also admitted he's been struggling to perform fan favorites, such as the Top 20 power ballad "Don't Close Your Eyes." "I had a four-octave range and I never struggled hitting anything, [but] I've had to pretty much totally change the way I sing," he explained. "Luckily, I was a vocal coach, so I knew how to — I don't want to say 'fake' things, but change things so the fans really wouldn't know that I'm not singing like I used to."

How He Knew it Was Time to Quit

"There are nights, out of the past couple of years, where I've come offstage just humiliated because I can't sing 'Don't Close Your Eyes' like I used to, or I can't sing 'Cold Blood,'" Whiteman added. "These are the songs that the fans are out there waiting for. And that's when I started to think I don't want to do this if I can't do it well anymore."

A Warm Farewell

Whiteman said he's humbled by the overwhelming fan response to their farewell show. "We didn't know how it was gonna go, 'cause Merriweather is about a 15,000-seat venue," he said. "We thought, well, if we can draw four or five thousand people, that would be great. And I think we're over 10,000 at this point. It's for the hometown fans and it's a big shebang to say thanks for all the years, for the memories, for the support. And [we] love you guys, but we're tired."
