A new interviews DVD is being released in the UK on the 23rd May, as usual we will be running a competition shortly. Press release is below, full details can be found here.

"A must have for Kiss fans, 'Interviews' contains rare and exclusive uncut interviews, plus footage of former band members and also of crew members from the road. 

Formed in New York City in 1972, the American rock band were easily identified by their trademark face paint and stage outfits, rising to prominence in the mid 70’s on the basis of their elaborate live performances, which featured firebreathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars and pyrotechnics."

The winners of the Vinnie Vincent competition have now been announced, thanks to everyone who entered. This was the first competition with 100% correct answers, clearly no one thought "Vinnie Vincents Lawsuit" was a real band then?!

Winners can be seen here

Many happy returns to the Spaceace himself Mr Ace Frehley - 60 years young today!

KISS got a mention in The Sun yesterday, apparently they were spied on by the FBI, presumably in the 70's.

"THE FBI asked cops to report "civil unrest or attacks on police" at concerts by the notoriously flamboyant rock band.
A memo ahead of a gig in Frankfurt warned how such incidents had occurred "during previous US appearance of group, one specifically in Texas".
