Bill Kirchen & Too Much Fun

Bill Kirchen is best known for his work in the ’70s with the rebel band Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen, his affinity for early rock, country, and Western swing gave him a long career. Leading the way, this gang of rock & roll honky tonkers cut a wide path through country and rock, creating an intersection where both could meet and meld together their many guises effortlessly. 

Bill Kirchen was a dominating force behind the success of the Airmen. Meeting up with George Frayne, later known as Commander Cody, in his hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan, set the wheels of Kirchen’s musical career into motion.
