AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND ...YOU WANTED THE BEST AND YOUR ABOUT TO GET IT!

On Saturday KISS wrapped up an exciting week of rehearsals for the DOWN UNDER leg of their KISS ALIVE 35 WORLD TOUR. The band rehearsed a wide range of classics from all periods, including 'KISS Alive!' in its entirety!

KISS can't wait to rock the Australian and New Zealand KISS ARMIES again...It's been 4 years since their last Australian show, and over 12 years since their last New Zealand show.

Thanks to Dean Snowden for the photos.

KISS FANS ROCK INDY KISS EXPO!!

Over 500 KISS fans attended Sunday's Indianapolis KISS Fan EXPO, which featured Eric Singer and a preview showing of Paul Stanley's LIVE TO WIN DVD! Eric spent the entire day meeting fans, signing autographs and taking photos. He also held an hour Q&A session, before being surprised with an early birthday cake from KISSONLINE & director Louis Antonelli!

Antonelli held his own Q&A that focused on working with Paul on his live concert film. The Q&A was followed by a 37 minute preview of the LIVE TO WIN DVD that included the film's trailer as well as the songs 'Live To Win', 'Got To Choose', 'Tonight You Belong To Me', 'Everytime I See You Around', 'Do You Love Me', 'Love Gun' and 'I Still Love You'. Many in the crowd sang along and applauded as if they were actually at a live show!

Over the next few hours fans shopped for KISS collectibles and visited with Eric, Bill Starkey and KISSONLINE. Once again, fan favorite MR. SPEED closed the Expo with a rockin

KISS 4K COMIC MOVES TO WEB

As of Issue 7, the KISS 4K comic will be done completely online through the rest of its run.

Here's a quote from Dan Forcey, VP of Content Development, regarding the news:

The print book has been selling really well for us here at Platinum and we're very excited about it. There are several reasons why we're doing this.

First and foremost is that Gene, Paul and Scott (Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, CEO of Platinum Studios) are trend-setters and usually at the forefront of what is hot. (KISS was in comics back in the 70's, thirty years before a lot of rock stars like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance and all the other bands 'discovering' the comics medium right now.) Scott and Gene both see the world moving towards the digital distribution, like DD and websites like Wowio (hint, hint), and they want to be on the trailblazers like they always have been.(Remember when everyone said iTunes wouldn't work?)

Secondly, Gene and Paul plain love Adam's work and want HIM to be the vision that guides 4K from here on out. You guys may not know this, but Gene and Paul both insist on their approval over every printed page of KISS 4K, but they let Adam, and only Adam, do what he wants on the title here online. Actually, I'm kind of jealous of the guy sometimes because they give him more free reign than me. :-)

Anyway, it's not the end of the 4K in print, not by any means, (hinting again) it's just a new example of KISS being the guys that everyone else follows behind.

Here's a link to the webcomic:

Here are the latest KISS Pre-production samples - approved and ready for production.

Pictured are the new KISS Logo Belt, Key chain & Earrings, as well as the KISS Army Dog Tags. All items are from KISS Licensee Novelli. Look for these items to be released later this month.
