While at the March 15th launch of KISS Monster Mini Golf, in Las Vegas, Robin Leach interviewed Gene Simmons. Gene laid out what is in store for the ROCK LEGENDS over the next few months.
- On April 1, in full makeup, they will be back in Las Vegas arriving
on the red carpet in a Monster truck to present Best Vocal Group at the
47th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
- On April 2, they’ll perform in New Orleans at the NCAA Final Four game.
- On April 9, they’ll perform two songs on the new season of “Dancing
With the Stars” on ABC. (Don’t think Las Vegas resident Gladys Knight
will samba to the songs.)
- In one month, they start filming a KISS movie with Mark Johnson of the “Narnia” films producing.
- In May, Season 9 of Gene’s “Family Jewels” begins and a 10th renewal looks definite for filming this fall for 2013.
- Their nearly three-month dual headline tour with Motley Crue starts
July 19 and includes a stop here, as we reported in a Vegas DeLuxe
interview with Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil.
- This fall, they’ll host yet another of their weeklong KISS-abean
cruises in the Bahamas over Halloween with thousands of fans already
booked.
Gene summed up: “We still love going out on tour. We still love
performing for our fans. We’re still growing the business four decades
on. We’re still having fun, and we’re now entertaining four generations.
We’ve got grandfathers. Remember, we started almost 40 years ago, so
the 15-year-old became the 25-year-old, and then at 45 he got a child,
and we see him at the concerts.
