Sit-Down with Funny Money Frontman and Former Lead Singer of Kix Posted by johnd On 09/10/2007 Returning to Rock southern Maryland in the past few months has been some old friends of rock and roll. Steve Whiteman and Jimmy Chalfant formerly of the power rock band Kix, are playing several places in the area again these days. This time with Mark Schenker and Rob Galpin, they come at you as Funny Money. Funny Money has continued to rock their fans where Kix left off over a decade ago. This time they may not be playing the big tours, but more fan-oriented venues. It’s back to the roots of hitting the crowd loud, hard, and right in your face. With the experience these guys have, it is easy to see why the crowds come out every weekend to get within inches of their favorite rocking sons of Maryland. After spending nearly two years writing and recording new music, the band completed all the tracks and released their new album entitled "Stick It!" back in December of 2006. Their new album is one of the biggest selling independent CDs on cdbaby.com, and if further proof be needed that this is the defining FUNNY MONEY collection, the band enlisted the mixing wizardry of mega-hit rock producer Beau Hill (RATT, WARRANT, WINGER, KIX and dozens more). To buy a copy of “Stick It” or any of their past releases go to www.cdbaby.com, www.itunes.com, or check out Funny Money’s website at www.funnymoneyband.com . You can check out the site for a list of shows, or to listen to a few of the new releases on on their myspace. Recently The Bay Net had a chance to sit down with Steve Whiteman, the frontman for Funny Money, and formerly the lead singer of KIX. THE BAYNET: What’s the name of the new album, and how would you describe it? STEVE: The new album is called “Stick It!” And it’s just a total collaboration of all the band members. For the first time in my life and career, I actually got all the band members to contribute songs and ideas; and we’ve put together what we feel is a very, very strong, high-energy rock-and-roll record much along the lines of what Kix did. THE BAYNET: And so where do we get that from? How do we buy that? STEVE: We have them available online on CD Baby. You can get it through them, you can get them through iTunes; you can get them actually from our own website, which is www.funnymoneyband.com, and at all live shows. THE BAYNET: For some of the newer fans, can you give a brief description of how Funny Money first came together, and then how it came together as it is now. STEVE: Okay. After Kix was done in 1995, I took a year off and began to use my experience in all that I did and Copyright © 2021 thebaynet.com. All rights reserved. Page 1.

PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

Cornerstone Pressquotes
CORNERSTONE® Pressquotes: "With their new album, 'Reflections', Cornerstone are doing exactly what they want to do. That, in my book, makes them uber cool and 'Reflections' is quite an enjoyable record. Cornerstone provides the listener with catchy melodies, vocal harmonies and plenty of hard rockin’ moments with the odd sappy, sentimental ballad throne in to make things complete." FEMME METAL WEBZINE/Tony Canella, U.S.A. "'Reflections' enthaelt erstklassigen, treibenden Rock... mal mit Classic-Rock Einschlag ('Nothing To Lose'), mal mit Bon Jovi-Keyboard unterlegt ('Heart On Fire') haben wir es mit einem abwechslungsreichem Album zu tun, das richtig Spass macht." ROCK HARD MAGAZINE /Stefan Glas, DE "Blending melodic rhythms with an angelic voice and crossing the Pop Rock divide seamlessly, Cornerstone have produced a collection of songs of extreme quality. Their anthemic sounding tracks will endear them to many and I'm sure will see them going on to greater things." FIREWORKS MAGAZINE/Paul Sabin, UK "This might very well turn out to be my fave melodic album of the year... AOR is a very American genre and Cornerstone do have an American sound, but there is also an European edge to it, a British if you have to be more specific. This is melodic without being too syrupy. If you like your hardrock with a bite and an attitude you can very well listen to this." BATTLE HELM/Anders Ekdahl, SE "…alles in allem kann man sagen, dass sich Cornerstone auf ihrem neuen Album in einer bestechenden Form zeigen. 'Reflections' hat eigentlich alles, was Fans gediegener und zeitloser Rockklaenge so sehr schaetzen und lieben.

The People Know What's Best. Platinum-Selling, Hard Rock Icons KIX Heed the Audience's Call
The people know what's best. Platinum-selling, hard rock icons KIX heed the audience's call. At every live show, and with every new release, KIX raises the bar higher – not only for themselves, but also for their rock band peers. Steve Whiteman [vocals], Brian "Damage" Forsythe [guitar], Ronnie "10/10" Younkins [guitar], Jimmy "Chocolate" Chalfant [drums] and Mark Schenker [bass] continue to deliver their signature brand of raucous, roaring, and real rock 'n' roll. KIX was founded in 1978 in Hagerstown, Maryland, and after slugging it out as a local band, they were signed to Atlantic Records in 1981. Their self-titled debut album was released the same year, and featured concert-favorites like “The Itch,” “Heartache,” and traditional KIX show- closer “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,” which is now incomplete without an originally unique ad-lib performance by Whiteman. Their second album, Cool Kids yielded “Body Talk,” and the ballad, “For Shame.” KIX then partnered with producer Beau Hill (Ratt, Warrant) to create the powerhouse album Midnite Dynamite, released in 1985, which yielded another concert favorite, “Cold Shower.” When the members of KIX traveled to Los Angeles in early 1988 to begin recording Blow My Fuse, they knew that the album could make or break the band. And sure enough, upon its release in September of 1988, Blow My Fuse outperformed its predecessors. A video for the song “Cold Blood” dominated MTV’s popular “Dial MTV” program for so long that the network was forced to change the show’s rules to knock KIX out of the top slot.
