From: www.kisskollector.com
/
Kiss-Related-Recordings.nl
The In November of last year, we reported that Former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick played guitar on three tracks of Dutch singer (and actress/TV host) Birgit’s upcoming album
'Sticky Fingers'. About a year later, the album will finally see the light of day - eventhough it was scheduled originally for a release earlier this year.
After trouble with her record company, the album was postponed and meanwhile we’ve learned that Birgit has
decided to release the album on her own through Birgit Music with Coast To Coast taking care of the distribution.
The release of the album is expected to take place in the second week of November.
"Hardrocking Diva" will be Birgit’s new single, out on October 4, for which the videoclip was filmed yesterday (with the first single - released in November
2004 - having been "Control" which is one of the tracks Bruce played on).
Bruce Kulick recorded the three tracks in the studio of his brother Bob Kulick
during the summer of 2004, after Dutch creative director Sidney Brandeis had hooked Birgit and Bruce up. Sidney Brandeis (owner of an entertainment company in Holland which includes a management agency) happens to know Birgit’s producer Peter Kardolus – with whom Bruce already did some session work a few years ago in a studio in Amsterdam, Holland, as arranged by Brandeis.
At along distance Bruce Kulick played on three album tracks. Via MP3's his contribution were mailed to the Amsterdam based recording studio. Her band, mainly guitarists Xander Hubrecht and Jeroen den Hengt, was called in for assistance when
necessary.

KISS tribute CD makes headlines & enter Top 15 charts in Norway
From: Kiss
Army Norway
KISS Army Norway and VME are proud to announce
that ”Gods Of Thunder – A Norwegian Tribute To KISS” debuted at #13 on the Norwegian charts.
In comparison, Alive III peaked at #15, and as odd as it might seems albums like Creatures Of The Night, Smashes Thrashes and Hits, Animalize and Carnival Of Souls never made such a great chart position as this tribute CD. In April last year Gene Simmons' "Asshole" debuted and peaked at #23 on the Norwegian charts.
KISS Army have once again brought a lots of attention to KISS in Norway. The tribute album got maximum exposure in the media making entertainment headlines on
National television, radio and newspapers.
The album consist of chart-topping and award winning bands from Norway including million-selling artist Espen Lind, World Idol winner Kurt Nilsen (who beat US platinum artist Kelly Clarkson in last years final) and Norwegian superstars Wig Wam with a guest
appearance by Bruce Kulick. In addition to the music, the CD-cover is quite historic and
unique as the artwork was done by Ken Kelly, the man behind the Destroyer and Love Gun paintings.
Prior to the release, executive producer Stig Karlsen (KISS Army) claimed that this CD were going to bring tribute CD's to a new level both musically & visually, and judging from the reviews and respons from the fans, he and his team might as well have succeeded.
International fans can now buy the album from KISS Army Norway or VME:
