Apologies for the lateness on this - KISS Laid Bare is currently showing on Scuzz but will be repeated at some point shortly, it's brand new and parts were recorded at Cobo Hall last month.

Sadly this is one of the only UK TV appearances as far as Sonic Boom is concerned, the other being an MTV special coming soon (and a small clip that was played on BBC news). Due to touring commitments a Jonathon Ross appearance isn't in the works yet....

This year on September 25, the KISS ALIVE 35 Tour 2009 will kick off in North America in Detroit.
Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer und Eric Singer will celebrate the 35 year history of
one of the biggest rock bands of all times on a tour across North America.

All shows of the KISS Alive/35 US Tour 2009 will be exclusively recorded by Concert Online.

The audio recording will be available as a USB leather wristband with a KISS metal buckle. An
absolute must-have item for every KISS fan!

I've been fortunate enough to have Sonic Boom in my possession for the past week and believe me, it's been on in the car and iPod constantly since it arrived! So is it the return of Classic KISS as promised by Paul Stanley some months ago.......?

Not many bands have provoked the kind of fanatic devotion to their music as KISS. How many other bands can claim to have an official Army as their fanclub?
 
But now we want to get down to the nitty-gritty to find out who is the biggest KISS fan in the world.
 
We’re marking the release of KISS’ SONIC BOOM by running the biggest KISS KWIZ ever run and after five days of hard fought KISS Trivia, we will be able to name the KISS KWIZ CHAMPION – and that champion will bag themselves one hell of a prize.
 
The KISS KWIZ CHAMPION will win themselves a stunning GIBSON LES PAUL STUDIO GUITAR , a beautiful piece of FRAMED artwork and a copy of the album.

Literally just got off the phone from Ace Frehley! Want to know what he's up to? New UK tour? Guitar Hero?.....
