Hello KISS!

Here's a photo of my family getting ready for the big concert in Vancouver this past weekend. Front and center is our 3 year-old Scott. Almost everyday he pretends he's Gene. Thanks for an excellent concert. You guys are still the best!

Thanks,
Lana Williams

Hi KISS & the KISS Army!

I wanted you to know about the KISS exhibit in the Turku City Library in Finland. I work at the library and the the KISS items on display are mine. We are celebrating the awesome SONIC BOOM album!

Thanks,

TWO THINGS usually happen after I tell someone what I do for a living. First, I find myself saying, "Yes, I do realize how fortunate I am." Second, I'm asked, "What's the best concert you've ever seen?"

That should be a hard one, given that I've seen thousands of shows and hundreds of really good ones. Yet it's not that tough; if I'm being honest and not trying to impress some hipster, I'll just answer: "My first Kiss concert."

"I have been asking for quite a while to put together a show in Dubai," says Paul Stanley, the lead singer of Kiss. "It's a fascinating region. I plan on playing there in the not too distant future."

It's hard to imagine that Kiss will not make it to the United Arab Emirates. They've played everywhere else in their storied career.

Right now, they are in the middle of their biggest superstar schlep around the world. The Kiss 35 tour, to support Sonic Boom, their first original album for 11 years, started in March 2008 and will play 101 venues before it closes on December 15, having taken in Bulgaria, Greece, Latvia, Russia, Luxembourg, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela for the first time in the band's career. According to Stanley, 57, who's never afraid of a little self-promotion, it's all going swimmingly.

"It's Kiss business as usual," he says. "It couldn't be much better. Bigger, better, more is how I would describe this tour. We've got 20 songs in the set list right now and I consider every one of them a classic."

KISS is featured on the cover of the most prominent Chilean rock magazine, ROCKAXIS.
