Recorded in August of 1991, the songs "Two Princes" and "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" didn't blaze any new trails in music according to Rolling Stone Magazine's 1993 review of the band, but the "universal Rock n Roll virtues" of the songs still resonate with audiences 20 years later. On October 20, the Spin Doctors will play the entire "Kryptonite" album at the Town Ballroom to celebrate the anniversary. Tickets are on sale now at the Town Ballroom Box Office and Tickets.com. Or, you can be a Freeloader and win them for free here, plus pick up a copy of the 20th Anniversary 'Pocketful of Kryptonite' CD and be in to win Meet & Greets with the band!

Actually, a series of unfortunate events befell the band, which enjoyed two of the most successful singles of the early ’90s in ‘Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong’ and ‘Two Princes’ — they ended the decade not only without a record deal, but without lead singer Chris Barron, who was diagnosed with a rare form of vocal paralysis that left him unable to sing or speak.
