September 1, 2010 COVER
STORY: KISS (from Illinois
Entertainer)
This is no place for modesty. Kiss drummer Eric Singer
describes the band as a piece of Americana, like Universal Studios or Disneyland.
Whether its going to Mount Rushmore or Yellowstone Park or the Statue Of
Liberty, I say Kiss is one of the Wonders Of The World. Maybe Im biased because
Im in the band, but I really believe that you gotta see Kiss at least once in your
life. Even if you dont like Kiss or dont know anything about them, I guarantee
when you walk away from the show youre going to go, That was a lot of fun
Ill never see anything like that again. I always say, Its
rock n roll meets the circus coming to town!

THAYER TALKS FANDOM, FIRST SHOWS AND ROCK'N ROLL (from city

Like most KISS fans, I remember the exact moment they came into my
consciousness. That moment is all too vivid. My second-grade classmate, Jim Brown, and I
were sitting together with a girl in our class at one of those fake Formica tables
listening to storybook records.

September 1, 2010 NEW CD
BRINGS KISS BACK TO LIFE (from
Post-Tribune)
By Alan Sculley Post-Tribune correspondent
The previous Kiss studio CD, "Psycho Circus," did little to prove that the band
still had creative life in it. The CD was billed as the return of the original KISS, since
it came in the midst of the reunion of guitarist/singer Paul Stanley and bassist/singer
Gene Simmons with the two other original members, guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter
Criss.

September 1, 2010 CANCER-SURVIVOR
PETER CRISS PLANNING CHARITY WALK (from wymg.com) Former KISS star Peter Criss is
putting his breast cancer battle behind him by taking part in a charity walk to raise
money for the fight against the disease.
The veteran rocker was diagnosed with the illness in 2008 and subsequently spoke of his
embarrassment at contracting a condition more commonly associated with women.
Criss has vowed to help fight the stigma surrounding male breast cancer and is throwing
his support behind the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
campaign.
The 64 year old will take part in a charity walk in New Jersey on October 17 and is urging
fans to get involved.
He says, "On October 17th, I will be walking for the American Cancer Society, Making
Strides Against Breast Cancer, in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey. I would love for you
to join me in this walk to help save lives and bring awareness to men and women about this
disease... If you can't walk with us please make a donation for support. As a breast
cancer survivor, I THANK YOU!!!" [Comments]

August 30, 2010 KISS LEGENDS HELP FIGHT DRUG ADDICTION THROUGH MUSIC Legendary brothers Bruce and Bob Kulick rock out for a good cause.
Chicago, IL- August 29, 2010 Guitar legends Bruce and Bob Kulick appear together on
the upcoming Serenity CD by Rockstar Superstar Project. Serenity,
which is the first ever music CD recommended by Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors, has
taken nearly two years to complete and is almost here, just in time to kick off National
Recovery Month 2010.
Since the age of 3-years old, my brother and I grew up listening to and worshiping
Kiss. It wasnt entirely about the music either. It was just
as much the band as it was the brand that appealed to us. says legally named Super
Star. Yup, Kiss is one of those bands that that are like cockroaches, says
legally named Rock Star. They will never go away and thank god for them changing the
face of music like they did because if they didnt there would be no Rockstar
Superstar Project.
Our goal with the CD is to send a strong message that living a life without drugs
and alcohol is the only way to achieve your dreams, said Rock Star. Since we
know there are kids who would rather listen to music than read a book, we are using music
to reach them in the language they understand.
Joining the fight via guest appearances on the CD are music icons including Cherie Currie
(RUNAWAYS), Stevie Rachelle, (TUFF), George Lynch (DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB), Chris Caffery
(SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA), Carlos Cavazo (QUIET RIOT, RATT), Mark Slaughter
(SLAUGHTER), Zak Stevens (SAVATAGE, CIRCLE II CIRCLE), Jon Oliva (SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN
ORCHESTRA), Bruce Kulick (KISS, UNION), Howard Leese (HEART), Bob Kulick (MEAT LOAF),
Lorraine Lewis (ex-FEMME FATALE, ROKTOPUSS), David Schultz (GOO GOO DOLLS, BERLIN),
Veronica Freeman (BENEDICTUM), Ted Poley (DANGER DANGER), Todd La Torre (CRIMSON
GLORY),and of course Rock Star aka Marc Kancler (Guitars) and Super Star aka Kris Kancler
(Drums) and many more.

Legendary Rock band KISS adds their name to Mohegan Sun's Walk of Fame
Mohegan Sun is pleased to announce that KISS, one of the most iconic and
recognized Rock bands of all time, has been inducted into Mohegan Sun's Walk of Fame. This
places KISS among an elite group of entertainers whose stars will now lie beside theirs.
Their induction took place Thursday, August 19th in The Shops concourse in front of a
crowd of excited fans. KISS is the 20th star to be inducted into Mohegan Sun's Walk of
Fame. Upon receiving their star band member, Paul Stanley, jokingly asked fans "Why
aren't you in the Arena for the show, are you waiting for us?"
KISS has been rocking out arenas for the last four decades
and has become one of the most renowned Rock bands in the history of music, with popular
songs like "Rock And Roll All Nite" and "Calling Dr. Love." They have
sold over 100 million albums worldwide and have continued their incredible success with
the release of their latest album, Sonic Boom, just last year.
