Original KISS Drummer's Ex-Wife On Group's Early Days: 'It Was A Really Wild Time'

January 26, 2007

Launch Radio Networks reports: Lydia Criss, ex-wife of original KISS drummer Peter Criss, has published a book about their lives together. It's titled "Sealed With A Kiss", and it traces their history from when they first met in the mid-'60s, through their marriage and the band's rise to superstardom, to their divorce in 1979 and the years since. Lydia could have just focused on her time in and around KISS, but she told Launch it was important to show the context in which the band formed. "It was a really wild time in New York and, well, in America, you know?" she said. "It was the '60s, and it was Flower Power, and — what was it, 'the Summer Of Love,' and you know, that's an exciting part of my life. And it kind of... it's important to see how it builds up to why Peter is the way he was in KISS, and why I was the way I was, and, you know, even the band."

"Sealed With A Kiss" has a huge amount of rare and unpublished photos Lydia's personal archives, including many from when the band first formed.

The book is available at the official LydiaCriss.com website, where you can also have her personalize it by signing it almost any way you can imagine.
