The following year, he became one of the first artists signed to Matthew Kaufman's now-legendary Beserkley Records. Along with Jonathan Richman, Earthquake, and the Rubinoos, Kihn helped to carve the label's sound -- melodic pop with a strong '60s pop sensibility -- a refreshing alternative to the bloated prog rock of the time. In 1976, after his debut on the compilation Beserkley Chartbusters, he recorded his first album with his own band consisting of Ronnie Dunbar (guitar), Steve Wright (bass), and Larry Lynch (drums). Through the '70s, he released an album each year and built a strong cult following through constant touring, becoming Beserkley's biggest seller. In 1981, he earned his first bonafide hit with the Top 20 single, "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)," from the Rockihnroll album. He continued in a more commercial vein through the '80s with a series of pun-titled albums: Kihntinued (1982), Kihnspiracy (1983), Kihntageous (1984), and Citizen Kihn (1985). He scored his biggest hit with 1983's "Jeopardy" (number two) from the Kihnspiracy album. One more single broke the Top 40, 1985's "Lucky," but by the time Love and Rock and Roll was released in 1986, the puns had run out and so had the hits. Kihn kept a relatively low profile throughout the '90s, releasing Mutiny in 1994 and Horror Show in 1996. All the Right Reasons followed in mid-2000.D-Day is: De Lewellen (vocals) John Keller (bass, vocals, backing vocals) David Fore (drums, backing vocals) Glover Gill (keyboards, crotales, vibes, marimba) Will Fiveash (guitar, mandolin, electric sitar, backing vocals) Stuart Hillyer (guitar, vocals) - replaced by Will Fiveash What they're up to these days: De and John got married and have a Cajun band called Zydeco Ranch. Will is a programmer for Sun. David is a programmer for IBM and plays with The Eggmen. Stuart just finished med school. There are three items that were available in limited quantity but not officially released: D-Day Five Live - cassette EP "Looking For Someone" - single test pressing "He Doesn't Dance" - single test pressing 45 RPM single - 1979, Moment Productions A: Too Young To Date [405k MP3] B: Every Time I Ask You Out [143k MP3] "Too Young To Date" was a hit and can be found on the 80's compilation CD "New Wave Hits of the 80's Vol 1". It reached #1 on KROQ in Los Angeles. There was some controversy over the "pop my cherry" lyrics. Some irate mothers complained to the FCC and the record was banned in California. After a DJ was suspended for playing the record, the 3rd verse was re-recorded to replace "pop my cherry". The altered version was played on the radio but not released to the public. 45 RPM single - 1981, Moment Productions A: Right To Know B: Your History Complete D-Day - 1983, A&M Records Dance It Off Strange Feeling Join The Ranks Dream Song Desperation [215k MP3] Radio On Secret Worlds Do You Read Me Hold On More Than That Lonely People [225k MP3] This is their first and only album. "Desperation" was the biggest stand-out and received some air play. The album went in a different direction from their earlier tunes and was not well received by fans and radio stations. David Fore on the creation of the album: "The band had always experimented with different musical styles, and after our original really heavy guitar player (Stuart Hillyer) left and was replaced by Will Fiveash, we played ska and reggae in addition to punk, but our sound grew lighter. Then the lead singer decided she didn't want to sing the scatological songs anymore. I brought up putting 2YTD on the album and no one but me wanted to (she and I wrote it). A+M asked us to "give us an album" with 10 Too Young to Date's on it, but as you can hear we didn't deliver. An "English Invasion" was happening with Flock of Seagulls etc. and we wanted to get in on that sound. However, we chose the wrong English producer, Bob Sargent, he didn't even like 2YTD! We were so blinded by the "Big record Deal" that no one wanted to speak up in London and say this is the wrong direction and the wrong sound, let's go home and regroup. We were living in a castle and having the time of our lives on A+M's expense account. It was NOT A+M's fault." - www.madmartian.comThis is an original single sheetpaper poster advertisement (A.K.A. street art, handbill, flyer or print) for a concert performance gig by professional musicians at a music venue.
