Spring is not quite here yet and the weather outside can prove that since its rather chilly in our NYC today but warmer days are straight ahead. To help us launch into the upcoming season I’m going to get you all Rock-excited with an awesome show by the legendary guitarist Ace Frehley who will be performing over at the Sony Hall in the coming days.
The Details: So I don’t really think that I need to tell you much about the great Ace Frehley but if you have just arrived from another planet or have been on a secret mission in the Hollow Earth let me point out that he was a founding member of the legendary KISS and for the last couple of decades has been serving up music of his own in a vibrant solo career. It’s a safe bet that everyone has his 1978 solo album which is a bit of a masterpiece to me and now he is out there continuing to support his most recent album “10,000 Volts”. His shows will excite both the real guitarists and the air ones from start to finish and now thanks to the fine folks in the Marketing Department of the Blue Note Entertainment Group, PiercingMetal will be giving away a few tickets to his upcoming show at Sony Hall.
