RADIO SUN - Original Tribute Song To Ace Frehley From :
theradiosun.com/
MelodicRock.cpm Australian
melodic rock band The Radio Sun have penned an original tribute to
Ace Frehley titled 'SpaceMan'. Guitarist Stevie Janevski goes on to
say 'all of us in The Radio Sun grew up on a healthy diet of KISS
and in particular were all inspired by the original spaceman Ace
Frehley. This song is a bit of fun and is not meant to defame anyone
in particular but rather a stance acknowledging the original
SpaceMan'.
The Radio Sun will release their second full length album mid 2015,
currently being mixed by Paul Laine (ex Danger Danger). "SpaceMan"
will not be on the upcoming album but rather something special the
band put together before the full length album's release. SpaceMan"
will be released as a
4 song CD/EP and will also be available on ITunes, Spotify, Google
Play etc. soon.

January 11 : MARCEESE 's 2nd folk KISS Tribute album
and videoclip From :
Kiss Related Recordings/
Marceese
In April 2013 Berlin based folksinger and
guitarplayer Marceese released his first full KISS Tribute album "Baby
Driver". He announced to record the complete KISS backing
catalog from the 70's area. On January 23, 2015 Timezone Records is
set to release his second coup called "Have
Love, Will Travel". He made it his business.
Like on his first KISS cover album Marceese nearly forgoes the big
hits and leave some die-hard-fans with clueless faces. And
surprisingly the new interpretations sound way older than the
originals by Gene, Ace, Peter and Paul ! Which is result of Marceese
slipping over his own Americana-folk-style to 70's Hard Rock tunes.
"Tomorrow and Tonight" and "Move On"for example sounds like 40ies /
50ies recordings.
But again you count on that native Berliner, so he thunderstruck
with a Hendrix-influenced version of the disco-song "Dirty Livn'",
just to keep it up with a cheesy yearning variation of "Easy
Thing"...
"Have
Love, Will Travel" is a varied folk record in the broadest
sense, far away from the excessively buffoonery of the New York Hard
Rock quartet.
"Have
Love, Will Travel" track list :
01 Tomorrow and Tonight
02 Man Of 1000 Faces
03 Plaster Caster
04 I Want You
05 Radioactive
06 Got Love For Sale
07 Easy Thing
08 Move On
09 Dirty Livin'
10 Rip It Out
11 Rock and Roll All Nite
