Greg Kihn Band

The Greg Kihn Band enjoyed some chart success in the early and mid 1980’s.

To date, the group has released 9 Studio Albums.

Their first chart hit was “The Break-Up Song” which peaked at #15 on the Billboard Top-40 charts in 1981.

Their next hit, “Jeopardy“, would be their biggest hit, reaching #2 on the Billboard Charts in 1983.

The song would later be parodied by Weird Al Yankovic with “I lost on Jeopardy” in 1984.

Their last hit was “Lucky” which reached #30 on the charts in 1985.

At their peak, the Greg Kihn Band was:

Greg Kihn – Vocals, Guitar

Robbie Dunbar – Guitar

Steve Wright – Bass

Larry Lynch – Drums

Gary Phillips – Keyboards

The band still performs occasionally but only Kihn and Wright remain from the original lineup.

Greg Kihn is currently a morning drive-time DJ at a popular San Jose, California Rock Station.

He is also an author, having published four novels to date.
