Why Donnie Purnell Wasn't Part of Kix Reunion
. The American rockers, who enjoyed the height of their fame in the 1980s, got back together in 2003 with Mark Shenker on bass instead of Purnell. And nearly a decade on, the singer says the band had no intention of ever letting the founding member rejoin. "When Kix disbanded in 1996 I started a band called Funny Money. I was given a vehicle where I could write my own material, which was hard to do in Kix because Donnie controlled everything in that band," Whiteman tells Sleaze Roxx. "There was a song Donnie and I had written that I wanted to release. I called him up so he wouldn't be blindsided by it � and he tore into me. He called me every name in the book. He accused me of using his name and his talent and said I was taking the song from him. It was the most unpleasant and nasty conversion I've ever had in my life."
