A Baltimore based music group. The most amazing band to ever exist. Is just pure talent. Kix has the best guitar duo ever and there's no denying it. (See definitions for
Brian Forsythe and
Ronnie Younkins) Delicious guitar sandwich. Most songwriting done by bassist, Donnie Purnell, who is no longer with Kix. The band's original members are Steve Whiteman (vocals), Donnie Purnell (bass), Jimmy
Chalfant (drums), Brian Forsythe (lead, rhythm guitar), and Ronnie Younkins (rhythm, lead guitar). Other members include: Donnie Spence, Brad Divens, Mark Schenker (current bassist), Pat DeMent, and Jimi K. Bones. Kix started in 1977 when Guitarist, Ronnie Younkins met up with Brian Forsythe in a 7-eleven and asked him to join his and Donnie
Purnell's band. They made a few great albums (Kix, Cool Kids, Midnite Dynamite, Blow My Fuse, Hot Wire and Show Business) before in 1996, they stopped. Without guitarist, Brian Forsythe (who had left to do some work with Faster
Pussycat's bassist, Eric Stacy in L.A.) the band fell apart. In 2003, the band started up again with new bassist, Mark Schenker. (Donnie Purnell became too bitter and no one wanted to deal with him.) The band still continues today and is still the best band ever.
