CKY Tickets
Once upon a time, CKY burned it all down, with a raucous, anarchic, hard rock sound soaked in the skate-punk
culture that birthed them and a hard-partying lifestyle onstage and off that
decimated relationships and reputations in its wake. Now, CKY rises from the
ashes of the aftermath with The Phoenix , a bold mission statement that hoists
the flag high for big, raw, authentic, earth shaking rock n’ roll, liberated
from useless pretense.
CKY’s sonic rebirth sounds as incendiary, expansive, and groovy as the Joshua Tree desert where it
was made, and as decadent and funky as the strip-club adjacent rehearsal room
where the songs were jammed out into submission. Each song is a forceful meditation
on what makes CKY so killer.
Chad I Ginsburg, the band’s guitarist and singer, steps into the frontman role with charisma, charm,
and bravado, confidently delivering a diverse performance as he claims a
position that was clearly rightfully his to own.
He’s joined in enduring partnership and musical and personal chemistry by fellow CKY
cofounder, Jess Margera, the drummer whose extracurricular work in projects
like The Company Band (with guys from Clutch and Fireball Ministry) expanded
CKY’s horizons as much as Ginsburg’s solo work has as well. The duo returned to
their primary project refreshed and reenergized, with bassist Matt Deis (ex-All
That Remains), who first joined CKY in 2005.
Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, and Deftones have all personally invited CKY on tour, cementing a legacy as a
hard-charging live act. CKY built a worldwide fanbase of dedicated acolytes,
friends, and supporters, lovingly dubbed the CKY Alliance, with a broader group
of musicians, athletes, and other creative types in the CKY family, both
literally and figuratively.
