M3 Rock Festival 2011 at Merriweather Post Pavilion

Frontiers Records is excited to announce the signing of U.S. hard rockers Kix to the label. The return of the Maryland rockers will materialize with the worldwide release of the band’s first ever live DVD/CD release entitled "Live in Baltimore" on September 21st in Europe and September 25th in North America.

Since the band’s return to the national stage in 2008 with appearances at two of the biggest rock festivals in the States, Rocklahoma in Pryor,Oklahoma and Rock the Bayou in Houston,TX, Kix has amassed a large number of successful live shows all across the country, with regular appearances at festivals, casinos and biker rallys, culminating with headlining the hugely successful M3 Rock Festival in Columbia,MD two years in a row. The new live CD/DVD is packed with fan favorites and a choice catalog of great hard rock songs recorded live in Baltimore,MD.

As the demand from the fans for new Kix music has never subsided and in fact has only increased over the last few years, band members have decided that they can no longer ignore the overtures from the fans and are writing new songs for a new album due out on Frontiers Records in 2013.

Singer Steve Whiteman stated, "This is a great thing for us and we hope it’s a great thing for Kix fans all around the world. We are so thrilled to finally be able to give the fans what they have been asking for, a live DVD and new music in 2013! We have been hard at work getting new material together that we think will stand shoulder to shoulder with any previous Kix records. It’s a really exciting time for Kix."

The Kix lineup includes original members Steve Whiteman, Jimmy Chalfant, Ronnie Younkins and Brian Forsythe with Mark Schenker on bass.

The DVD has been on the shelf for a couple of years.

Looks like the "New Studio release" may include some Whiteman penned tunes that were left off of past KIX recordings.

Burn!

I love KIX but this is the same ole' same ole' material.  Would luv some new stuff but won't likely happen since former bassist Donnie Purnell wrote most of the songs.

There is a new release on the way. Most likely late fall or early winter.

I can't wait to hear new Kix! Can't believe they haven't made anything new since 1994!

Whiteman writes most of the stuff for Funny Money, his other project with Kix drummer Jimmy Chalfant and bassist Mark Schenker. I spoke to Brian Forsythe when we opened for Rhino Bucket in November and he was headed to Baltimore after the show to work on the new songs with the guys. He admitted to the pressure of making the tunes live up to the Purnell-Kix signature sound. But it sounded like he was excited to get back into the studio and do it.

At one point there was talk of including  some songs that Steve wrote for KIX years ago. Seems as though Donnie didn't like to include tunes on KIX releases that he didn't write. Steve actually wrote a good amount of stuff way back when. I think the idea of including the older stuff may have been scratched because of the new stuff they've written. I think they are pretty happy with the new tunes.
