KIX - Can’t Stop The Show DVD Is #1 On Billboard This Week

"We have always known from the way our passionate fans treat us that we are number one with them,” said bassist Mark Schenker. “We have always enjoyed that mutual love fest. And now, to have our fans lift us to #1 on the Billboard Music Video Chart is by far the greatest honor that they can bestow upon our band. We are grateful for this testimony of dedication. This perfectly illustrates that ‘fan’ is short for fanatic, and this is absolutely true when it comes to Kix fans. We are most certainly humbled beyond words!"

Maryland hard rock icons, Kix, initially entered the Billboard Top Music Video Sales chart at #3 with their Loud & Proud Records release, Can’t Stop The Show: The Return Of Kix, a two-disc DVD/CD set. It’s the band’s highest charting debut ever in their 35-year history. The 71-minute film offers 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, Lzzy Hale of Halestorm, Jeff LaBar of Cinderella, Share Ross of Vixen, Shannon Larkin of Godsmack, and more. It also includes a rare appearance by producer Taylor Rhodes (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Kix’ Hot Wire).

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, aka “Chef Chocolate.”

“Kix is proud of the band's legacy, but equally proud of our new chapter,” adds Schenker. “We had an opportunity to work with some great film makers, so we just let the cameras roll everywhere, and had so much fun putting the project together. There was a true outpouring of love and admiration from our fans and our peers after the release of Rock Your Face Off and luckily, we had documented the recording sessions on film. Now we are excited to share the process of making the new album with our loyal fans. Kix thanks everyone involved and hopes everyone loves it as much as we loved making it!”
