Paul Stanley Joins Rock & Brews Restaurant Venture

Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons don't just make beautiful music together and market every product under the sun in KISS. The singer/guitarist and singer/bassist are teaming up for a huge restaurant venture. Simmons's Rock & Brews restaurant is ready to expand worldwide, and will do so with Stanley as a partner. The duo will co-host the March 22 and 23 opening of Rock & Brews in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, the second location for the emerging brand.

"I am honored to join the Rock & Brews lineup, and am especially excited for our first international location in Los Cabos," said Stanley. "Rock & Brews is truly a unique concept that embraces music and concert-style social gatherings like no other dining venue."

Rock & Brews Los Cabos boasts a concert-themed atmosphere, with hand-painted murals of rock artists, album and tour art and a backstage-style vibe. Sounds cool to us.

Linkin Park continue to do good. The band has designed a bracelet to benefit the victims of Hurricane Sandy via Music for Relief. All proceeds from the bracelet support the organization's Sandy recovery effort in Haiti; yes, the superstorm that ravaged the East Coast had further-reaching effects. Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park recently traveled to Haiti to get a better understanding of the organization's treatment of cholera and prevention work. Watch the video footage of his pilgrimage.
