KISS Meets ELVIS In ELVISS SIMMONS AND THE MEMPHIS STRUTTERS

September 6, 2010

ELVISS SIMMONS AND THE MEMPHIS STRUTTERS is led by an overweight Elvis impersonator combined with the heart (and face paint) of Gene Simmons of KISS. He performs hits from both Elvis' and KISS catalogues, and throws in some of your favorite oldies too.

Simmons is the product of a night of ill-advised celebrity genetic experimentation by a group of drunken renegade genetic engineers. The cloning process left young Elviss with an unfortunate birthmark on his face that looks alarmingly like Gene Simmons' make-up. His other "daddy" left him with hair that spontaneously forms itself into a permanent pompadour. This distinctive appearance made it nigh-impossible for young Elviss to get (much less hold) a normal job, so he took the only paths left open: rock stardom and tech support.

Elviss' backing band, THE MEMPHIS STRUTTERS, is composed of a rhythm section (guitar, drums and stand-up bass),a horn section (tenor sax, baritone sax and two trumpets),and a trio of female backing singers. The music is as much a train wreck as Elviss himself: rockabilly lounge versions of KISS songs and heavy guitar versions of classic Elvis songs. In a nutshell, it's a Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love Gun.
