Featuring special guests BOB KULICK & BILL STARKEY

With Musical Guests ALMOST HUMAN & SHOCK ME

BOB KULICK auditioned for KISS on Jan. 3, 1973, though he (obviously) didn't get the job. He helped in the recording of the Alive II studio tracks. He played on Paul's solo album and performed on tour with Paul Stanley in 1989. He also suggested that Gene and Paul hire his brother Bruce.

BILL STARKEY founded the Kiss Army in Terre Haute, Indiana, when a radio station didn't want to play KISS. (A quote from Gene Simmons: "Bill Starkey kept calling to request our songs, and the deejay said, "We don't do that." Starkey said, "You'd better do it, because by five o'clock, when everybody gets out of school, we're going to surround your beacon with the Kiss Army." The deejay just ignored it--but at five o'clock, there were thousands of kids surrounding this thing. It made the front page of the Terre Haute newspaper; the headline read, KISS ARMY INVADES RADIO STATION, and the KISS Army was born.")

Tickets are $17 in advance or $20 at the door.

I finally got a little time this weekend to get the photos from the recent Indianapolis KISS Expo up. I am not too happy with the photos. I was trying out my new camera and I haven't figured out how to work it as well as my old one. Anyway, again thanks to all of the fans who came out in blizzard like conditions to make for another successful Expo in Indianapolis!

And though we have enjoyed seeing the site through to this point, we
realize that the time has come where other obligations in our lives
make it impractical for us to continue to maintain the page; we simply
do not have the time. However, in speaking with some of those closest
to the site it quickly became clear that everyone agreed that it would
be a shame to just "close" the page down. Accordingly, in order to
ensure that KISS ASYLUM continues to be an online presence for fans
worldwide to visit and enjoy we are pleased to announce that Keith
Leroux will be assuming the helm from here forward. Keith is a
longtime, dedicated KISS fan who has been involved with the world of
KISS and KISS fandom for many years, and we are confident he will
continue to carry the KISS ASYLUM flag with pride and professionalism.

We sincerely thank you for your input, patronage, and friendship over
the past eight years. May KISS and KISS ASYLUM continue to "rock and roll all night and party every day" for a long, long time!

Officially nothing has been announced about this yet. There have been some comments made by the promoter there and LimpBizkit, but nothing has officially released. I will post it if it gets announced.

A massive new tour...a big new album...huge crowds...You must be feeling pretty energized these days.
I'm like that most of the time. I believe in the philosophy that every day above ground is a good day. The idea that anyone wants to talk to me and find out what's on my mind is still astonishing to me. I mean, it's been 80 million records and almost 30 years later, and the public doesn't seem to be fickle with us.

Keith and I want to say thanks to all the fans that trekked out in the blizzard like conditions to attend the Indianapolis KISS Expo this last weekend. The event was a HUGE success once again. Unbelieveably over 400 fans attended the Expo which is AWESOME, compared to the last few I have been to and heard about in the last year. If it hadn't been for the weather we would have drew over 750 for sure. Also special thanks to all the dealers that came out. We had over 50 tables of merchandise for fans to buy from. This is also a recent high compared to recent Expos. The performance by Bruce Kulick and Bob Kulick was just flat out AMAZING. I heard one fan say their playing was so good that it brought tears to his eyes. SSG members were also on hand performing with Bruce and Bob. They were excellent as always. We did so well we were able to give Bruce and Bob a cash bonus, which is a rare thing for recent KISS Expos which have been only drawing about 150 fans around the country. We can always count on the fans in Indianapolis to support the greatest band and greatest Expo in the midwest. Keep an eye on KISSFreaks.com and KISSShop.com for more Expos coming soon in some very different locations. We hope you are able to attend some of the FANTASTIC events we are planning this year. Don't settle for less than the best when it comes to spending your hard earned dollar for a KISS Expo. Thank you KISS Army!

I will be adding some photos from the event in the next few days. Stop by and check them out.
