More details have emerged regarding the return of The Kinison. The following press release was issued on their coming plans via highwires:
“We’re thrilled to announce that Los Angeles’ own The Kinison are back and on the verge of their first release since 2004’s “What Are You Listening To?”
The single, “Oh, The Guilt,” was recorded with Paul Fig (Deftones / Coheed & Cambria) and is being mixed and mastered now. It’ll come with two unreleased live tracks — “What Would You Do?” and “Stevie Nicks vs. Nikki Sixx.” And the whole lot will be available September 2nd, 2013 on Highwires!
Road warriors for much of the early aughts, the Kinison ended up in a variety of places (from Coachella to shows with Black Flag — including the West Memphis Three benefit — to touring with Blink-182), before calling it quits in 2005. But, after a lengthy hiatus, the members felt a pull to get together again. Vocalist Christopher Lee Lewis puts it simply: “We really just wanted to see if we still had it, and it clicked.”
The Kinison will be playing shows soon, including a pending return to Europe in 2014.
Current Lineup:
Christopher Lee Lewis – Vocals
Guy Knight – Guitar
Mikey Rivera – Drums
Frank Alexander Figueroa – Bass
Bryan Swarthout – PianoFor more on the band, check out their Facebook page.”
