BEST LIVE ALBUM OF THE YEAR : KIX – Can’t Stop The Show: The Return Of Kix (2016)
Near the end of the year, it’s time to recap about the best 2016 releases, by category.
For 0dayrox, the Best Live Album of the Year is KIX – Can’t Stop The Show: The Return Of Kix. There has been some really good live releases this year, but we have chosen KIX for what it represents: the return of this great band (with a studio album in the making).
0dayrox is proud to present the exclusive world-wide premiere of “Can’t Stop The Show: The Return Of KIX“, the new two-disc DVD/CD set from platinum-selling Maryland hard rock icons KIX to be released on October 21 via Loud & Proud Records.
The release is an in-depth look into KIX’s decision to record their first new album, 2014’s ‘Rock Your Face Off’, in almost 20 years. The DVD also features the making of the album from bassist Mark Schenker’s studio, interviews with the band as well as notable rock artists such as Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme, Jeff LaBar of Cinderella, Share Ross of Vixen, key music industry veterans such as radio personality Eddie Trunk, Don Jamieson of That Metal Show on VH1 Classic as well as Luc Carl and Keith Roth of SiriusXM.
The CD, “Can’t Stop The Show (Live)” offers never – before – released live KIX tracks recorded over the last three years. A bonus KIX logo sticker is inside the first manufacturing run, a special treat for KIX fans around the world, and each band member offers his own special contribution to the package’s booklet including vocalist Steve Whiteman’s rigorous exercise routine, cartoons by guitarist Brian “Damage” Forsythe, an essay by bassist Mark Schenker, a gear rundown by guitarist Ronnie “10/10” Younkins and a favorite recipe from drummer Jimmy Chalfant, a.k.a. “Chef Chocolate.”
The album – mixed by guitarist since many years becoming record producer Brad Divens who was part of the very early Kix and recorded in their ‘Cool Kids’ album and later fronted Wrathchild America – has a vibrant punchy sound, with the band playing various tracks from the last album but also ’80s classics such as ‘Blow My Fuse’, ‘Midnite Dynamite’ and one of my favorites, ‘Cold Shower’.
