Ex-KISS Guitarist BRUCE KULICK Reports On South American Trip
May 21, 2007Former KISS and current GRAND FUNK RAILROAD guitarist Bruce Kulick has posted the following message on his web site:
"Back from South America!
"What an amazing trip I just returned from.
"All of you might know I went to Peru and Chile in Dec 06, and that made me hungry to visit Brazil and Argentina. So my manager (Mark Abbattista, or Abba, as we all call him) and I worked hard to get a few events put together, and everyone was a success.
"I started off in Sao Paulo, Brazil, a huge city with 16 million people. I was staying in the city of Campinas which is about an hour and half north of Sao Paulo. After checking into my hotel, it was off to a famous Brazilian restaurant where they have the meats on giant skewers. Great food! These places are popular in Texas and LA, but I have never eaten at one. You leave the table stuffed but you know the food is very fresh indeed. They cut the meat right in front of you!
"After my meal it was time to rest up as I had a full evening ahead of me. First up was a press conference, which lasted about 40 minutes. It was held at a music school called EM&T where I was scheduled to do a clinic. After the press left, I did my usual performing along with a backing CD of tracks from my solo discs and some Revenge songs. The sold out crowd was very excited.
"I signed autographs and now it was time to go rehearse with KILLERS, the band that was to back me at my two Brazilian shows. They did their homework, but there was a lot to fine tune. I have to thank them all for doing a great job with the songs. They got a great lesson on the material."
