Kix played their final concert ever on Sunday night (September 17th) at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland — just down the road from the band’s home city of Baltimore.
The hard rock vets were joined by former guitarists Ronnie Younkins and Brad Divens for what proved to be a celebratory, career-spanning set.
All of Kix’s biggest hits from their MTV glam-metal glory days were included in the set, most notably cuts from 1985’s Midnite Dynamite (“Midnite Dynamite”; “Scarlet Fever”; “Cold Shower”) and 1988’s Blow My Fuse.
Early in the set, Younkins joined the band onstage for the first two songs (“Atomic Bombs” and “The Kid”) before Divens took part in renditions of early Kix material (“For Shame” and “Mighty Mouth”) hailing from his stint in the band (1982-1983). Younkins and Divens then formed a triple-guitar attack with longtime Kix axeman Brian Forsythe for the four-song finale.

If you have yet to hear of Lynam, consider yourself on notice, and let this be your baptism by fire.
Forged in the city of Birmingham, Alabama, the band has made a name for themselves via a pair of critically-acclaimed albums, the second of which will see a major reissue on August 18th courtesy of Mascot/Megaforce when Tragic City Symphony hit's retailers everywhere.
With the album getting the push it deserves, we thought this would be the perfect time to check in with frontman Jacob Lynam to talk a little horror. Welcome to the 22nd installment of Fangoria Musick's Lists Of Doom!
Taking a break from a relentless string of shows throughout the deep south, Jacob shared his thoughts on ten fright flicks that still strike fear into his guitar-wielding heart.
