DEMONS ON MELROSE: KISS BRINGS ROCKIN’ STYLE TO WEHO

kiss-700Detroit (Rock City)-born designer John Varvatos is giving KISS Army members a good reason to trade in their uniforms and step-up their style by using KISS to showcase his latest menswear collection.  The front windows of Varvatos’ West Hollywood store at 8800 Melrose Ave at Robertson feature likenesses of the iconic band members donning the designer’s Spring 2014 fashions.

KISS Billboard - OriginalWhile we have never personally owned a man purse, we have to admit that no one looks more manly with one than the Demon himself.

The WeHo window display follows the recent unveiling of Varvatos’ KISS billboard on La Cienega featuring the New York band on its home turf and dressed to kill in designer suits from Varvatos’ Spring 2014 collection.

The couture designer also debuted a limited-edition KISS “Dressed to Kill” t-shirt, a double-sided tee that received the band’s blessing. The only downside to the cool collaboration? The t-shirt costs $118! We guess that if you want to look like a rock star you have to have a rock star’s income, too. Better brush up on those power chords!

High Notes

“KISS crack? Not such a good idea. Even if you spell the crack with a ‘K.'”

New Crue

MOTLEY CRUE TO DROP ‘SEX’ ON JULY 17

Summer is about to get a whole lot louder beginning July 17, when Motley Crue releases its titillating new single, “Sex.” The new track drops three days before the Hollywood band kicks off a co-headlining summer tour with KISS on July 20.

Although this is great news for fans, unfortunately, “Sex” is just a random one-off  release to hype the tour, but the band has no plans to release a new album anytime soon. In other words, “Sex” is kind of a one-night stand as far as new Crue music goes.

Guitar Heroes

ROCK AND ROLL OVER

In August 2010, Gibson Guitars launched “GuitarTown,” a public arts project spread throughout 1.6 miles of the Sunset Strip and celebrating iconic bands and musicians, while highlighting the Strip’s significance to rock and roll history. Included among the over two dozen custom designed 10 foot tall fiberglass Les Paul guitars are tributes to Jimi Hendrix and KISS, whose colorful tribute is located near West Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont.
