On August 12th i ventured out to Milan for another show of the Cover Band Hell Tour. This took place at Skate More And Receptions and featured, Third Rail, Mr. Tripod, and Kings Kiss. Once again it was another killer show by all three bands. The crowd was a little on the light side which i don't understand. For only three dollars you got to see three rockin' bands, thats only one dollar a band. You can't beat that. People just don't know what they are missing. Kings Kiss puts on one of the best live shows i've ever seen by a local band. Mr. Tripod is right behind Kings Kiss as far as entertaing a crowd, no matter how many people they are playing too. Extra kudo's goes out to Third Rail for playing from 7:30 to 8:30 in Milan, then heading over to the Purgatory Pub to play the rest of the night there. I bet you guys and gal were exhausted by 2 a.m. Just goes to show how much it means to be part of a Kings Kiss show! I know Guns For Hire has enjoyed playing with Kings Kiss.
