Klymaxx, the pioneering all-female R&B band, is set to electrify audiences during their 40th anniversary national tour, with lead guitarist Cheryl Cooley at the helm. The tour, featuring performances in key east coast cities, marks a significant moment for the group as Cooley confronts long-standing rumors and disputes surrounding the band’s history.
The tour will showcase Klymaxx’s enduring musical legacy, stopping in Philadelphia, Bethesda, New York, and Las Vegas. Audiences can expect a high-energy production featuring classic hits like ‘The Men All Pause’ and ‘Meeting in the Ladies Room’ alongside their newly released single ‘Love Me.’
Cooley, a founding member, has been vocal about addressing misconceptions about the band’s past. Despite challenges from former members who have labeled her current iteration as a ‘tribute band,’ Cooley remains committed to preserving and celebrating Klymaxx’s groundbreaking musical journey.
The band’s new single ‘Love Me’ represents more than music; it’s a statement against bullying and a testament to resilience. This philosophy echoes their first single, ‘Never Underestimate the Power of a Woman,’ which originally secured their first record deal and continues to resonate with audiences today.
Founded in the 1980s, Klymaxx distinguished itself as one of the first all-female R&B bands to control their sound, style, and message. Their impact on the music industry transcended musical boundaries, paving the way for future generations of women in music.
As Cooley leads Klymaxx into their fourth decade, the band remains a powerful symbol of artistic integrity, female empowerment, and musical innovation.
