The Announcement:
KISS bassist and vocalist Gene Simmons is headed out on the road next year with his eponymous solo band. The short run will include stops in Florida, Kentucky, New Jersey, and Texas. KISS played their final farewell show one year ago, making the Gene Simmons Band the only way to see “The Demon” perform now. Simmons is joined by guitarists Brent Woods and Zach Throne and drummer Brian Tichy.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I’m not going to lie and say that I’m not excited to find Gene Simmons and his band doing North American tour dates and while this recent announcement only features five shows I have to believe that more will be added as they get closer to actually happening. Maybe these are dates that are testing the waters as far as demand for the tickets and from other venues on the booking agents list. When I posted about the European tour I mused how Gene’s shows would likely feature a wealth of KISS Classics and after checking Setlist.FM I’ve seen that a twelve song set features eight KISS tunes. I mean I’m not arguing because when Ace Frehley does his shows he is doing pretty much the same thing and he hasn’t been in KISS in quite some time. I’ll watch for more information on this topic and if more dates come I will either add them here or just post an updated bit of news. As we’re all about feeding you content the more is quite honestly the merrier in terms of posts. Chime in down below if you are so inclined and especially if you’re a KISS fan and notice that Gene will be in your locality. I remain hopeful for NYC dates. See you next time.
