"Kinetix dropped one of the best Saloon Stage sets of the festival. The strong Friday late night lineup made every band work for an audience, and even with The Tragically Hip and Trampled By Turtles waiting in the wings, Kinetix held its own, packing the Saloon with raging, bouncing fans. The Allman Brothers' "Jessica" mixed things up between the electronic-based, poppy, punky, funky and sometimes in-your-face sounds. With the crowd hopping to the originals and covers alike, Kinetix is poised to become a reputable late night attraction on the festival circuit."

"Kinetix mesmerized the crowd with their persistent drive and power. Illuminating lights flickered and intensified through out each song, while singer/guitarist Lufkin jumped up and down abruptly on stage; bassist Fairman sustained a constant head bang as Linit diligently jammed out on his resonating guitar. Though their studio albums are not as animated, seeing them live is something to check off on your "fifty things to do before I kick the bucket' list."
Tiffany Zack, Lumino Magazine (March 2008)
"The Denver five-piece Kinetix bills themselves as a funk-pop-jazz group, but their latest album, Talking to Faces, just might have fans looking in the rock section of the music store for their disc.
While the band still holds on to the orchestration and roots that originally gave them that classification, Talking to Faces stretches it more into the rock realm. In fact, the opening bars of the title track specifically show the fence that the band teeters on and how effortlessly they can bounce between sounds. With a funky bass line and wah-wah heavy guitar part, the band launches the song, before heading in, balls first, to a rock riff and screaming guitar solo and back again. Throughout, the vocals hold a very pop feel over the music, like a cheering section for the musicians, but it's done without taking away from the musical realms the band is exploring, and they add to the ample energy.
Brian F. Johnson, Marquee Magazine (Oct. 2007)
" There's plenty of impressive instrumental prowess here, especially in the guitar work of Jordan Linit and the keys of Eric Blumenfeld, and every song features entrancing elements and sections. Ultimately, the disc largely seems to be a primer for and launching point for the bands...impressive live sets, and as such, it can be counted a success."
Going to be headed thru your neck of the woods July 23rd and 24th and was wondering if you guys are around if you wanna get together and make some baby making music or just hang.
