Exile — Born in Richmond, Ky., way back in 1963, “The Exiles” — as the band was first named — “cooked up rabble-rousing musical concoctions of rawknroll, R&B & LA-scenster pop.” The big break came in 1978, when “Kiss You All Over” spent four weeks at the top of Billboard’s pop chart, then the band turned country with hits like “I Don’t Want to Be A Memory” or “Give Me One More Chance.” Exile takes the stage at the Alma Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. today. Tickets are $25-$41 at 632-2129.
