KISS

KISS is an iconic American superhero-styled rock band and pop-culture franchise formed in New York City in 1973 by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss. Renowned for their distinct face paint, outlandish stage presence, and comic book alter-egos, KISS expanded beyond music into a multi-million-dollar empire of merchandise, comics, films, animated television, and digital avatar projects.
