Hey KISS,

My son Griffin is a huge fan of yours - he organized an airband group with a bunch of his friends from his grade 5 class who competed and won at their elementary school yesterday as Kiss (of course he was you). They did Rock and Roll All Night.

Thought you might get a kick out of these pictures. Their band won the competition and even made it to the local paper!

Thanks!

Take Care :)

Griffin Williams (right) would make Gene Simmons proud, along with the rest of his group, called Hillside (Josef Rebalkin, Tayler Nielsen and Jaeden Dumont). The Grade 5 Pitt Meadows students lip-synced to Rock n' Roll All Night by KISS for the third annual Davie Jones elementary air band competition on Wednesday. They defeated eight other acts to win the competition.

KISS' Sonic Boom album cover was recognized by Graphis - which is one of the most prestigious of all international design annuals. Sonic Boom will be in the new Graphis Design Annual 2011.

Hand Signed KISS Limited Edition SONIC BOOM Prints By Michael Doret are available here.

Thanks for sharing your great photos with KISSOnline.

Keep them coming...the band and the fans love seeing them!

Hi KISS,

Here is a picture of my father's tombstone. He was a life long KISS fan, and helped me become obsessed with them since I was 6. I am now 18 and still just as obsessed. I lost my father almost 2 years ago and just wanted to share his tombstone that features the KISS logo, something I've never seen before!

Thanks,
John Keith

KISS IS EVERYWHERE: FABRIZIO PALERMO & THE AXE

Fabrizio Palermo, longtime KISS fan and one of the finest bass players in the Italian rock scene, showed up on the Cologna Veneta stage with a Gene Simmons Axe Bass! Fabrizio is on tour now with Enrico Ruggeri and his band promoting Enrico's latest album "La Ruota". Enrico is one of the biggest Italian rock artists and is a KISS fan too!

Here's a sneak peek of the new KISS mini refrigerators being released by Boetler Brands. The Destroyer version is a counter high compact fridge, and the KISS Army version is portable party fridge.

Both versions feature full color graphics with complete side and front coverage. A perfect fit for your garage, recreation room, den, dorm room or game room.

Legendary Rock Band to Have Their Own Scratcher Game

KISS (www.KISSonline.com), the iconic rock band that has sold more than 80 million albums, played in front of millions and become an integral part of the American fabric over a 37-year career, can now add the KISS Scratcher Game to their staggering list of accomplishments.

KISS and the New Mexico Lottery today announced that they have signed a licensing agreement that will introduce the band to the $225 billion-a-year global lottery industry. As part of this historic agreement, the New Mexico Lottery will unveil the first-ever KISS Scratcher today.

"KISS learned a long time ago that you can't win unless you're in the game," said KISS. "The New Mexico Lottery and the students that directly benefit from the sales of KISS Scratchers are already winners by becoming the first state in the country to offer a game with 'The Hottest Band on Earth.' The New Mexico Lottery wants to rock its players' world and KISS is just the band to make that happen. Not only do New Mexico Lottery fans get the greatest band in the history of rock and roll, they have a real chance of getting lucky with KISS."

KISS IN DUTCH PRESS

Hello KISS,

After a big picture of Gene on 17 June in the major Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, today was an article (pictured on bottom) in the same newspaper. It tells how great the show was and many news articles over the last days in Holland tells us that this was the best show in years!!

Greetings Theo Kompier

KISS,

I wanted to write this and share my father's day experience with you. I woke up fathers day morning to my little girls (Tyra "Star child" & Alexis "The Demon") wearing KISS make-up. They Know KISS is my all time favorite band. They went the extra mile to make sure the day was ultra special. Sealing the deal with a KISS. I wanted the best I got the best. This has been a father's day I wont be forgetting ever. KISS really is every where!

Hi Guys!

Longtime fan...very long time as I first saw you at the Roxy Theater in Northampton, PA on the "Hotter Than Hell" tour back in 74, when I was in 6th grade. Doing a series of art based on Rock & Roll Icons and the fashion models I shoot, just to keep my creativity in practice:) Here is a small sample to share with the rest of the KISS Army!

Cheers from Singapore and thanks for all the memories & the soundtrack to some great times!
