KISS To Rock Oshawa After All

August 25, 2009

Kevin Connor of the Sun Media reports: KISS will rock Oshawa after all.

"I just got confirmation that KISS people have contacted General Motors Centre management to hold Oct. 6 and 7 for KISS," Oshawa City Councillor Robert Lutczyk told the Sun tonight.

"I knew Gene (Simmons) would come through." Fans were livid that the KISS bassist/singer snubbed them after they won an online competition to have the band play in their city on its fall fan-routed tour.

The Durham city claimed the number one spot in North America with 14,569 votes, but when the tour schedule was announced Monday, Oshawa wasn't on the list.

"We are working out the details for the concert now. The problem is there is a significant divide between the band members and managers. It's like a government bureaucracy. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand was doing, but I knew Gene would come through on his word," Lutczyk said.
