Hey Everyone,

We are stoked, ready and have never sounded better! New songs! Old songs! New old songs! We can't wait to hit the stage for that first show and blow you all away!

See you there,

Here's a KISSonline sneak peek of the new KISS Pool Ball Set being released by Silver Buffalo in July. The balls pictured were the first submitted by the licensee for approval from KISS and may vary from the set that is actually released.

With rock and roll legends KISS due to land in the UK next week we caught up with The Demon - aka Gene Simmons - for a typically entertaining chat.

The veteran bass player and rock solid businessman still looks good in a pair of platform heels and boasts the steely thighs of a 30-year-old.

You can catch him and rest of the guys from Saturday May 1 in Sheffield and the across the UK in Newcastle, Liverpool, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and London.

For Simmons rocking is his business - and business is good.

Look out for Part Two of our Gene exclusive next week.

rushonrock: Sonic Boom proved to one of the albums of 2009 but it was a long time coming. Do you wish you'd released a new record sooner?

Gene Simmons: I don't think we should have done something sooner. I say everything in its time. If you're a farmer and you bring your stuff to market before it's open - when it's closed - then nobody buys it. It's the first rule of commerce. And what I'm in is actually called the music business. It's not called music. Everybody thinks great I'll just do music' but what about the business?

Hey KISS,

At our high school in Spring Hill, KS, we make "READ" posters starring our own teachers. Here's one we made with me as the Demon, another social studies teacher as the Catman, our secretary as the Space Ace, and our principal as the Star Child! We're now "The Hottest School in the World!" Rock N Read!

Thank you to Chris Hesselink for sending KISSonline the image.

Over 900 supporters gathered at the Overland Park Convention Center on February 20th for the 23rd annual Kansas City Heart Ball. The Heart Ball, presented by Saint Luke's Health System, raised half a million dollars for the American Heart Association's lifesaving. KISS partnered with the American Heart Association for this lifesaving cause by donating an autographed guitar. The guitar was featured during the Heart Ball's exclusive live auction that evening and after a heated bidding war, the guitar went home to the lucky bidder who donated $2,100 for the item. We greatly appreciate KISS and the guitar donation that went to support the American Heart Association's lifesaving mission and work!

Dear KISS,

One Year Ago... and the next generation! I'm celebrating all weekend long 'cause last year on April 17th KISS kicked CARACAS for the first time and shocked the Country! In this picture are me, my son, Paul and Gene on that BIG Night of the Alive 35 Tour in Venezuela.

When I was 10 in 1978, I bought my first KISS Alive vinyl album, and never thought about one day me and my son gettin' together in a KISS show... wow... it was a wonderful time. And you can see my son knows how to do a Demon gimmick! I hope we get another chance to rock soon with the Sonic Boom Tour over here... Thanks KISS... you did it again and my kid is joining us NOW!
