Bio:
Kiss was formed in New York in '72 by guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley (Stanley Eisen) and Gene Simmons (Gene Klein). The line-up was rounded out by drummer Peter Criss (Crisscoula), located through a Rolling Stone ad, and lead guitarist Ace Frehley (Paul Frehley), who answered an ad in the Village Voice. The band's cartoon image, kabuki makeup and 4th-of-July stageshow concept was in place from the start, and they began promoting their own hall shows in NYC. TV director Bill Aucoin saw them, became their manager, and secured a deal for them with Neil Bogart's Casablanca Records within two weeks. Three LPs were released in a year's time, but the live fourth LP, Alive! (1975) contained their first huge hit, "Rock And Roll All Nite." Until the early '80, Kiss was unstoppable, with two huge-selling Marvel Comics, a network TV movie and four simultaneously-released solo albums under their studded belts. In '80, Criss left for a solo career and since then, the drum and lead positions have been ever-changing. In '83, the band stripped away the makeup and celebrated renewed interest."You wanted the best, you got it! The hottest band in the land: KISS!" So went the rally cry at the beginning of a Kiss concert, an event of exploding pyrotechnics, vomited blood and louder-than-God hard rock. Their fan club--The Kiss Army--swelled to six-figures strong during the band's '70s heyday, and between 1974 and today they've sold in excess of 70 million albums.In '96, the original band reformed (made up?), and took their full costume-makeup-pyro 1976 show on the road--for a year-long stint--resulting in one of the most successful rock tours ever. Conjecture that the band wanted to quit on a high note has remained unproven; anything could happen in Kiss' future.
Album:
The iconic group have announced a new collection titled ‘KISS Destroys Anaheim ’76,’ which celebrates the important gig’s 50th anniversary.On August 20, 1976, KISS performed in front of over 42,000 fans at Anaheim Stadium in California. It was the then-rising band’s largest audience to date; only three years earlier, the band had been performing to audiences of ten people. The band are now commemorating the 50th anniversary of a seminal concert with a new collection titled KISS Destroys Anaheim ’76.KISS Destroys Anaheim ’76 will be available on 2LP color vinyl, 2LP black vinyl, CD, as well as a 2LP Picture Disc and SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) exclusive to the KISS store. Eddie Kramer, who originally recorded the concert, has newly mixed the material from the original multi-track tapes. The album features liner notes by Ken Sharp, who has authored multiple books on the hard rock group, including the New York Times bestseller Nothin’ to Lose: The Making of KISS. The special collection includes unreleased photos and memorabilia imagery.Ahead of the Anaheim concert, KISS had released their fourth studio album, Destroyer. Featuring hits like “Shout It Out Loud,” “Detroit Rock City,” and “Beth,” Destroyer incorporated instruments like piano and orchestral strings into KISS’ previously exclusively hard rock sound. It was the group’s third successive album to reach the US top 40.The Anaheim setlist features many tracks off Destroyer, as well as songs off 1975’s Dressed to Kill, 1974’s Hotter Than Hell, and their 1974 self-titled debut. Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, and Montrose were the opening acts of the Anaheim gig. The concert also featured a high wire walk between acts. Bootlegs of the legendary concert have floated around their fandom for decades.This year, Destroyer marked its 50th anniversary with a unique purple liquid-filled vinyl, and a metallic gold and purple fire vinyl pressing.KISS also recently announced the 30th anniversary of their reunion for an MTV Unplugged performance with a new 2LP set.
