Berlin-based songwriter MARCEESE is set to release a varied
folk/rock cover album based on KISS. The album, titled Baby Driver,
will be released on CD and digipack on April 18th through Blow Till
Midnight Records /
Finetunes
. The album will feature a psychedelic version of
‘Cold Gin’ over ten minutes long as well as a MUMFORD AND SONS vibe
with ‘Strutter’.
Comments Marceese: “At the age of seven, I went to the Savoy Cinema
in Berlin-Spandau. They were showing KISS Meets The Phantom Of The
Park. I sat in the first row with a tape recorder and recorded the
whole movie. When I listened to it, I heard myself singing ‘I wanna
rock and roll all night and pauli everyday’. I thought they were
singing ‘pauli everyday’. Hmmm. Since those days, it’s always been
my dream to be Ace Frehley, playing guitar and flying over the stage
or something spacy like that. Years later when I started playing
guitar, I had the idea of covering each KISS song of their masked
era. So, here comes phase one.”
