We’re proud to announce the release of our
latest project, “KISS and Makeup,” an all female KISS covers
compilation that pays tribute to the legacy of KISS. Created in
partnership with the publisher and KISS, the record was a great
labor of love for us.
 Ever
wonder what beloved KISS tracks would sound like if they weren’t
performed by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons?! Besides being able to
check out the number of tribute bands dedicated to the American hard
rock band, the folks at music licensing and marketing firm
MediaHorse have announced the release of a special KISS compilation
of all-female artists performing classic KISS songs.
Through the collaborative efforts of HoriPro Entertainment Group and
the publishers of the KISS discography, and of course, KISS,
MediaHorse present KISS and Makeup, a selection of 16 tracks
re-imagined by a wide-ranging mix of musicians and bands from
different genres.
“Having performed these songs many thousands of times for millions
of fans around the world for over 40 years, we loved hearing these
fresh new takes on our classic hits by so many super talented female
artists,” said Stanley, “KISS is rock and roll.. and these ladies
really know how to rock our catalog. We love KISS and Makeup…and so
will you.”
Simmons added, “We’re really excited about KISS and Makeup! It’s fun
to hear our songs in a completely new and different
fashion…especially by female artists. KISS fans are really going to
get a kick out of this record!”
MediaHorse co-founders Shauna Krikorian and Joe Berman stated, “This
project has been a fun labor of love for us. We wanted to create
something exciting and original that had not yet been done with the
band…KISS classics from a female perspective! Listeners will be
quite surprised hearing these fresh takes on songs we’ve all grown
to love, letting KISS fans experience them in a whole new light. It
completely changes the interpretation to hear these songs in modern
genres of indie rock and pop and especially with a female singer.”
The album is available for download at
iTunes and

October 5 : Bobby
Rock blog : “Go West, Young Man!”
reflections on the Vinnie Vincent Invasion audition, 30 Years Later

 Former
Vinnie Vincent Invasion drummer Bobby Rock has posted a new blog
entitled “Go West, Young Man!” - Reflections On The
VINNIE VINCENT INVASION Audition, 30 Years
Later.
Bobby Rock : “Last week marked the 30th anniversary of my Vinnie
Vincent Invasion audition. And since I’m on my annual “writer’s
retreat” at the moment, firmly in the headspace of writing, I
figured I would do a little stream-of-consciousness riffing about
that whole crazy, magical, and dare I say, “destined,” audition
experience.
Tuesday, October 1st, 1985, SIR Studios on Santa Monica Blvd. in
Hollywood. There are so many things I remember – with great detail
and clarity – about that day, and even about the months leading up
to it. Frankly, it’s hard to believe three full decades have since
trickled through the hourglass.
