KISS: Report From Japanese Fan Expo Available

September 22, 2007

KISS' official web site, KissOnline.com, has been updated with the following message:

"The first day of the 2007 Japan KISS Fan Expo took place today [Saturday, September 22] in Tokyo as Japanese (and a few Australian) KISS fans gathered together to celebrate KISS. The Expo featured special guests Bob Kulick, Nate Morton (Paul Stanley solo band),Fran Stuart (Paul's guitar tech) and Michael Norton (brother of late KISS guitarist Mark St. John).

"For the first few hours fans shopped for KISS collectibles and visited with the special guests, who signed autographs and took photos with all who attended. Next up were question-and-answer sessions with Nate, Fran and Bob, which focused on working with Mr. Stanley. Bob also spoke about his work with KISS over the years. A touching tribute to Mark St. John followed, featuring a talk with Michael and a video/audio presentation that included photos of Mark throughout his life. The Expo ended with live performances from Japanese KISS tribute band KISS DOLLS and an Expo-only band featuring Bob (lead guitar),Fran (rhythm and lead vocals),Michael (bass) and Nate (drums). Appropriately enough, the band's scorching set included only Paul Stanley-written songs from both KISS and his 1978 solo album."
