Chixdiggit! is a pop punk band formed in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The idea of the band was conceived by three high-school students in 1990 when they started making band t-shirts for the as of yet fictitious band. According to the band the name Chixdiggit! is "the Heavy Metal way of writing 'Chicks Dig It'". The band released their debut self-titled, full-length in 1996. Their latest CD was released in 2005, titled Pink Razors. The band has a reputation for writing often light-hearted pop songs, usually about girls and relationships.

Biography
The band was started after K.J. Jansen, Mark O'Flaherty and Mike Eggermont started selling Chixdiggit! T-shirts at their high-school, although at this stage the band did not officially exist. Eventually the shirts started selling well, which provided the band with enough money to purchase a drum kit. However none of the band members had any musical experience nor did any of the members own instruments (except Mark who owned a classical guitar). Mike took up playing Bass and because "KJ couldn't sit still long enough to be drummer" he took up playing guitar as well as becoming the lead vocalist for the band. The band in its early stages went through many drummers, however, Jason Hirsh is currently the drummer for the band. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Parts of the guitar. ...
