The Greg Kihn Band is an American band that was started by frontman Greg Kihn and bassist Steve Wright (not the stand-up comedian with the same name). Their hits include "The Break-up Song" (Billboard Hot 100 #15) and "Jeopardy" (#2). In 2005 Greg's son Ry joined the band.
The band's starting lineup also included Robbie Dunbar on lead guitar and Larry Lynch on drums. Greg & Steve have been the only two permanent members since the band started in the 1970s. Gary Phillips joined in 1981. The band still performs about twice yearly at Kihn's "Kihncerts" & at the Free Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk concert stage.
The band's most recent high-profile activity was "Hit Me, Baby, One More Time." Although the band lost the competition, they raised awareness, and subsequently money, for Operation Care and Comfort. They also added their cover of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" to their regular set.
