'DYNASTY' The French KISS Tribute Band are doing their bit for Charity! They will be performing at a Benefit Concert on the 28th February 2009 to help bring awareness to the importance of a  project that exists between France & Brazil.
 
All funds raised will be donated towards the Brazillian Horticultural Exchange Programme.
 
I've accepted their kind invitation, with pleasure, to join them on stage for the encore. This will be my FIRST 'live performance' playing drums since my accident in 2006!

KISS, according to Rolling Stone Magazine, is one of rock's 'biggest selling acts,' but is perhaps known more for maintaining the genre's most rabid fan base over the course of their almost 40 year history.
 

'Lick It Up: A Millennium Tribute to Kiss' is the first all-star KISS tribute of the millennium, and featuring current/former members of Skid Row, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper Band, White Lion, Warrant, Pretty Boy Floyd, Keel, Britney Fox, Zebra, RATT, Riot, Rainbow, Slash's Snakepit, Dio, the Ace Frehley Band, Rat Race Choir, Dad's Porno Mag, L.A. Guns, Lillian Axe, Doro, Dangerous Toys, Watchtower, and others.

 

As Kiss continues to sell out stadiums around the world, and an entire new generation of teenage fans discover the band along with their fan parents, this tribute is sure to be among that essential piece of any Rock 'N' Roll education!

 

 

hi guys..i have written a book about growing up with KISS in the 70's, from the minute I heard Shout it out Loud from Alive II back in 1978. I
grew my hair, joined a band and fell on my ass trying to make it! My name is Tony Bell and my book is called Life in the bus Lane. It is
published by Pegasus Elliot Mackenzie and is available at Amazon. 31 years later they are still the best...but you know that!!

Hi Everyone:
 
As promised, Ace has revealed on his website (http://www.acefrehley.com/) the title and album  artwork for his long anticipated album. The album is slated for a spring release.
 
Please stop by the website and take a look around. I'm certain that you will be pleased with what you find.
 
Take care,
 
Ray Miller
