King Flux
Encyclopedia
King Flux was a band started by Richie Stotts
after the breakup of the Plasmatics
in 1985. King Flux's first incarnation consisted of Richie on guitar, Billy and Andy Hilfiger
(younger brothers of fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger
), and Marky Ramone
on drums. Apparently, they also played under the name Hill-Fire. Other people played with the band throughout its short existence including Chris "Junior" Romanelli on bass guitar, Christopher Bell (currently with The Freddie Long Band) on guitar, and Tony Petri (from Twisted Sister
) and Albert Bouchard
of Blue Öyster Cult
on drums. Also, Zippy McAdam, from NYC, played bass with King Flux, appearing on the Uncle Floyd show, a great honor!
