8AM October 31st, Halloween … The massive Norwegian Jade ship is docked in the port of Miami and the silence is deafening. There’ll be a new kind of “deafening” soon: the noisy “Rock & Roll All Nite and party every day” kind, as in a few hours passengers from 37 countries will embark on KISS […]
The phrase ‘farewell tour’ has a sense of finality, but all too often bands and acts don’t use it in that manner — meaning, sometimes they play additional shows after the conclusion of their “farewell” activities. KISS recently announced its End of the Road farewell tour for 2019, and while that may very well be […]
Whether you love or loathe KISS, there’s no denying they’re legends — so it’s only appropriate the hard-rock icons are going out on their own terms next year. The band recently announced the End of the Road Tour, which will be their final tour ever (so says the official description, at least). On Monday, the […]

“Home sweet mother f#$king home!,” bellows a shirtless Larry Guerin, a six-time KISS Kruise attendee as he races onto the Norwegian Pearl ship, docked in the Port of New Orleans, sporting a mile-wide smile on his face and seven KISS tattoos filling prime real estate on his back. Guerin’s guttural rebel yell catches its share […]
The weekend of Dec. 8-10 will be a busy one in Los Angeles as far as charity concerts are concerned. The night before our co-sponsored holiday concert to benefit four local homeless charities takes place at the El Rey Theatre (click here for full details and a chance to win tickets), another big charity fundraising […]
Outspoken and brash, arrogant and opinionated, profane and vulgar, supremely narcissistic and sexist, are among the colorful descriptions both the public and media foist at KISS’ founding member Gene Simmons. Acutely aware of how he is perceived, Simmons even named his last solo album Asshole. When meeting with the “God of Thunder,” one will notice […]
On Thursday, November 3, a special charity gig will take place at the El Rey Theatre in West Hollywood benefiting Rhonda’s Kiss, a foundation geared around helping cancer patients in need. Headlining this year’s event will be Weezer, fresh off the release of their new self-titled White Album. Mark McGrath, lead singer of Sugar Ray […]
