Chixdiggit
Chixdiggit is a Canadian pop punk band formed in Calgary, Alberta. The band concept was conceived when the band members were high school students in 1990, as they started making band t-shirts for a fictitious band they called "Chixdiggit". They later adopted this name when they formed a legitimate band. According to the band, the name Chixdiggit is "the Heavy Metal way of writing 'Chicks Dig It'." The band released their debut, self-titled full-length, in 1996. In 2007, eleven years after their debut album and following three more studio albums, the band released a re-recording of the album, titled Chixdiggit! II. The band has a reputation for writing often light-hearted pop songs, usually about girls and relationships.
Biography
The band was started after K.J. Jansen, Mark O'Flaherty and Mike Eggermont started selling Chixdiggit T-shirts at their high-school, although at this stage the band did not officially exist. Eventually the shirts started selling well, which provided the band with enough money to purchase a drum kit. However, none of the band members had any musical experience nor did any of the members own instruments (except Mark who owned a classical guitar). Mike took up playing bass and because "KJ couldn't sit still long enough to be drummer" he took up playing guitar as well as becoming the lead vocalist for the band.
