Give Me a Little KISS

I haven't been out much lately so this show was the perfect billing for my rebirth into rock n' roll heaven.  Tribute This! Guns N' Roses opened for Kisstory at the South Shore Music Hall last Saturday night and yours truly was front and center for all those "creatures of the night" had to give!!  

Kisstory

Vinny Dawson

Kisstory, founded in New York by Vinny Dawson, has been around for a very long time.  As in most bands, they've seen members come and go but Vinny was a staple and an awesome one at that.  No one plays Gene Simmons like Vinny Dawson.  It's something that you've got to experience for yourself --"oooooooooooh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa"! 

Ray Bailey

 Much to my surprise, Vinny had the night off so Ray Bailey did his best to fill those giant shoes.  While he's not Vinny,  he definitely brought his A game and the crowd loved him!  Great job Ray!!




Role call for Saturday night's awesomeness included Rik Thetonia as Paul Stanley.............

Ray Bailey as Gene Simmons............

Jimi Love as Peter Criss........

and Jay Taft as Ace Frehley...........

I'd seen Kisstory a few times in the past, with different members, and I always loved them!  The costumes and makeup were always perfection and entertainment just didn't get any better than that.  I wasn't sure what tonight would bring.  By the time the opening band finished the crowd was super pumped and ready to really rock.  The lights came up, Detroit Rock City burst thru those speakers and the crowd went nuts! Cool!!  We're going to ROCK tonight people!!!!!  

They played all the fan favorites and they played them well.  These guys were so into the crowd it was impossible not to have a great time.  What an awesome show!!

The world is full of tribute bands, one in every club it seems.  I love them!  I love seeing how the musicians interpret their favorite rockstars.  I love seeing them come alive!!  Word on the street is that there may be room for one more..... hmmmm..... I wonder what it will be?   Who will it be?  Stay tuned and we'll both find out!!

See you at the show!!!
