Full-throttle Canadian metal band Kick Axe achieved an ultimately brief but rambunctious burst of popularity in the 80s upon the release of their debut album 'Vices'. That 1984 album was produced by impresario Spencer Proffer, who had also been behind Quiet Riot's multi-million selling smash 'Metal Health'. As remarked by critic Steve Huey, Kick Axe's work "was a milestone in the history of Canadian heavy metal... offering a batch of solidly written and exuberantly performed songs".
These are photos from concerts where Kick Axe played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
