DevO Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) This is a surprise! 20th anniversary show in April in Toronto.http://www.chartattack.com/news/2011/jan/20/king-cobb-steelie-announce-20th-anniversary-showKing Cobb Steelie Announce 20th Anniversary ShowI know, right? You may have perhaps looked at that headline and thought, "Wait, they were still around?" But the answer is yes, King Cobb Steelie are still making music.Kevan Byrne and Kevin Lynn's heyday was with 1997's Junior Relaxer album and its "Rational," which was their biggest hit. But they've been working together since 1991, so it's about time for them to celebrate the big 2-0.With that in mind, they'll hold a benefit show on April 16 at Toronto's Lee's Palace to support children with hearing loss. Tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster, the Horseshoe Tavern and Toronto record stores Soundscapes and Rotate This. They'll run you $13.50.Former members of KCS, including Minotaurs' Nathan Lawr, C'Mon and Change Of Heart's Ian Blurton and Spookey Ruben will be on hand at the gig to perform with the band.King Cobb Steelie's most recent album is 2004's Destroy All Codes.

PassedOutGuy Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Looks like it will probably be a one off as a benefit show. Kevan is expecting his second child shortly so probably will be pretty busy. Hoping I can make it to this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
