BAND DETAIL: Kissteria
YouTube Video
Finally, a Kiss tribute band has come along that puts the fight and
faith back into the Kiss Army! Kissteria features 4 men who truly
capture the look and sound of the characters they portray. Kissteria is:
Joe not only has the Voice, Charisma and playing ability of Gene But the
Fire breathing, Blood spitting and Yes, even the Tongue of the demon as
well. Joe uses the Punisher bass and Ampeg amps. Joe has been playing
Gene for many years in bands such as Parasite and Double Platinum. Joe
was featured on the Carson Daly show and also on ESPN in full Gene
costume!!
Chris completely takes control of center stage as Paul Stanley himself!
Chris' voice must be heard to be believed. From the stage raps to the
higher range vocals, Chris' voice truly fills the room! Chris also
shares key physical features of Paul such as the big brown eyes and
Hairy Chest. He moves gracefully across the stage in full 8 inch heels
doing such trademark moves as the Scissor kick splits and windmills.
Chris has been playing Paul since 1999 when he got his start with
Kissteria's Jerry. They formed the original Deuce based out of
Philadelphia/South Jersey. Chris also toured with Hotter Than Hell
across the USA in the summer of 2000. To say that Chris was born to Play
the Starchild may be an understatement considering the fact that he
actually shares Paul Stanley's birthday!! (January 20th) As an added
bonus, Chris ends every show with a guitar smashing finale!!!!
Jerry is definitely the next best thing to Ace himself! Jerry's
attention to detail is 2nd to none. From the makeup application to the
exact costumes and Les Paul guitars, Jerry leaves no stone unturned.
Walls of marshall amps behind him and Smoking guitar in hand, Jerry rips
through every classic Ace solo with relative ease. Jerry's experience
goes back to 1999 when he and Chris formed the original Deuce as stated
in Chris' intro. Jerry has also played with Love Gun and toured Canada
and the US East coast with Toronto's Dressed To Kill. Jerry and Chris
were featured on Tv with Matt O' Donnell during Halloween of 2000!!!
Making his Kiss tribute debut in Kissteria. Long time veteran of the
Rock Scene, Scott brings a professionalism and know-how to the band that
is truly incredible. Besides totally capturing the Catman's look, voice
and playing ability, Scott's craftmanship lends itself to the stunning
stage props that he built. These props include the 10' x 5' lighted
blinking KISS logo, life size blinking staircases and 8' winged serpent
that was featured during KISS' 77 tour! Scott's drumset is also just as
impressive as Peter's with a killer Gong to boot!! No one can touch this
Cat!!!!
Besides the classic Kiss staging, Kissteria's song catalog spans the
entire 70's era of Kiss featuring ALL the standards with hard core fan
pleasing Gems. Kissteria also ventures into 80's KISS featuring the
higher range Paul Stanley songs. Why?? Because KISSTERIA Can!! Enough
