NEWS UPDATE April 2010

MySpace Stream of the Month Punk Goes Classic Rock 
From: Kiss Related Recordings / Kissfaq.com
"Punk Goes Classic Rock" features a selection of the up-and-coming alternative rock bands doing their own cover versions of classic tracks by such bands as KISS, Journey, Queen, and Def Leppard. 

The Summer Set, a powerpop band from Scottsdale, Arizona,turned in a cover of "Rock And Roll All Nite" for the compilation. "We chose 'Rock And Roll All Nite' by KISS because we wanted a song that we could transform and give our own band's flavor to," said guitarist Josh Montgomery. "We think it's important to have a cover song that our current fans and future fans can identify our band with. The song is upbeat and an incredibly fun live song. We had just as much fun recording it as we do playing it; you can hear us screaming and breaking bottles in the intro and outro of the recording to give it that live show/party feel." 

The album is scheduled for release on April 27. To stream "Rock And Roll All Nite" and other songs from the album, visit www.myspace.com/punkgoesclassicrock.

April 27 : Interview With BK3 Producer Jeremy Rubolino
From: kulick.net
It's one thing to play music; it's another thing entirely to be a musician. Jeremy Rubolino is a musician in every sense of the word: he plays, creates, produces, arranges, listens and - most importantly - feels every note. That passion is what makes him a perfect partner for Bruce Kulick. Together they recorded BK3, and together they work as a team, writing for and producing other artists in an artistic relationship that Rubolino describes as almost indescribable: combining musical thoughts and ideas with a synergistic, natural vibe.

Despite a remarkable story and a wealth of experience in the studio, Jeremy Rubolino prefers to stay out of the spotlight and let the attention fall upon the artists and projects to which he applies his talents. He seldom, if ever, gives interviews - partly out of privacy and partly because he is in such demand that his schedule leaves little time for anything other than music. That said, he was enthusiastic about discussing BK3, a project he's proud of, and Bruce Kulick, a guitarist that he is proud to know and work with.

April 9 : Black Diamond Dust With Kenny Kerner
From: Tim McPhate / Kissfaq.com
Kenny Kerner happens to be a very key figure in KISStory. It was Kerner who came across the KISS demo (on reel-to-reel, no less) one Friday evening in Neil Bogart’s office in 1973. Extremely impressed with what he heard, he returned the following Monday and advised Bogart to sign the band. Kerner had uncovered the proverbial gem amid the pile of rubbish. And it would be he and production partner Richie Wise who would be brought on board to produce the self-titled 1974 album. 

In KissFAQ’s latest interview installment, we step back with Kerner to talk not only the debut album and "Hotter Than Hell," but how he and Wise formulated their partnership, Bogart, guns, Casablanca Records, and much more.
