Family Fun For Komedy Kiss
KISS aiming for kids\' cash with new TV show
Not the most obvious pairing of all time – KISS and a family entertainment show aimed predominantly at kids, but that is what the world will be seeing on its TV screens in the not too distant future.
A statement on the band’s official website reveals that a deal between independent studio E1 Entertainment and the band will see the band "create a comedic half-hour kids television series that galvanizes the band's iconic personas for its young fans.”
"KISS continues to be the juggernaut of licensing and merchandising, from KISS M&M's to KISS Dr Pepper," remarks KISS co-founder Gene Simmons, "KISS is a band, but also the only music BRAND. Continuing in our 35-year history of going where no band has gone before, we are proud to partner with E1. Like all things KISS, we intend to make this a very special show for our fans."
"We couldn't be more excited. Coupling E1's successes and ingenuity with the global force of KISS guarantees an express pass into the homes of our youngest KISS Army members with a show of superior quality," adds KISS co-founder Paul Stanley.
No release date, or indeed title, for the series as yet but expect to see it not too far from now.
KISS tour the UK as part of the Sonic Boom over Europe tour this May.
