KISS Reaches Out To Youth Audience, Offers Free Lawn Tickets
KISS is reaching out to a new audience -- namely fans who weren't born when the band was first popular. Billboard.com reports that the New York rockers are trying something new on upcoming amphitheater dates. They're giving up to four lawn tickets to the children of every paying adult. Bass player Gene Simmons says, quote, "It's time to give back." The rocker adds that he wants kids to see another approach to music than what's offered by Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers. Simmons says, quote, "It's important for them to see how the big boys do it. There's no tapes. There's no background singers backstage. There's no click tracks. It's important for the kids to see that whatever you see on stage is real. We want to spread this. I'm insulted by any act that goes up there with dancers and tapes. It's insulting."
Simmons adds that the band will record a follow-up to 2009's "Sonic Boom" soundtrack at some point, but that he doesn't have a timeline for that. He's also appearing on another season of his reality show, "Gene Simmons Family Jewels." |
