BRUCE KULICK DOWNUNDER
IN MAY
(from Nicola Ciccarone)
Bruce Kulick, Kiss' lead guitarist for 12 years is making his way back to
Australia for a nationwide tour in support of his soon to be released solo
album, Transformer.
In February, 2002 Bruce performed his first ever solo concerts in Melbourne and Sydney to
sell out audiences. Kiss' diehard fans got a unique chance to get up close with one
of their idols as Bruce and his band whipped through a 2 hour show of classic and rare
Kiss songs from the era Kulick was in the band - 1984 to 1996 performing many songs Kiss
to this day have never performed live.
Due to the great success of the last tour Bruce is returning in May to
perform 4 concerts in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney.
Tickets go on sale on April 7 from the outlets below.
Before the shows, KISS VIDEOS will be shown on big screen.
And tons of KISS MERCHANDISE will be available only before the shows
After each show, Bruce will conduct a signing session for all fans will get a chance to
meet and greet the guitar player that helped Kiss write and sell over 15 million albums
and perform hundreds of sell out shows all over the world during their
"unmasked" era.
Kulick has also recorded and toured with such luminaries as Meat Loaf,
Michael Bolton, Billy Squire and Grand Funk Railroad and is a renown session player in Los
Angeles. He is endorsed by both ESP Guitars and Marshall Amplifiers. Bruce is
a true guitar hero and Kiss fan or not, fans will be blown away with his fretwork.
Bruce's band on this coming tour will again be all-Australian and the same line up of
Vince Contarino (Zep Boys), Paul Drennan (Stand), Stephen Crafter (Stand) and Matthew
MacAuliffe (Stand) will join him onstage for 2 hours of madness.
With the set revamped and featuring a couple of new tunes off Transformer and some dusted
off forgotten Kiss tunes, it will be one helluva crazy crazy night!

KISS SYMPHONY ON
AUSTRALIAN TV MAY 17th!
(from www.mainevent.com.au)
Don't miss this one-off KISS concert with the 60 piece Melbourne Symphony!!
The event will celebrate the band's 30th anniversary and promises ''no less than a
symphonic sonic boom'', Paul Stanley said.
The Melbourne Symphony will be adorned with full KISS makeup whilst they play and it will
be a spectacular moment in KISS music history.
What happens when all the pyrotechnics, moving stages, and high flying mayhem of the
worlds most outrageous stage show collides with the power of a full symphony orchestra???
So, Kiss with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra? The verdict
A brilliant
once in a life time performance
Paul Kashmere - Undercover Music News
Then came the thunder: Kiss with the full orchestra (all wearing Kiss make-up)
between them and two speaker stacks taller than the average house. Musical arranger David
Campbell was the real hero of the day, orchestrating Kiss hits with the mandatory
aggression, testosterone and drama making the MSO rock, quite literally
Cameron Adams Melbourne Herald Sun
This is a never to be repeated spectacle. If you were there you know you were at something
special. Now everyone can party all night long to the Musical Event of 2003.
