Kiss

"Kiss" is a rock band from America known for their stage makeup and pyrotechnic effects. Founded in New York in 1973. The total circulation of sold records is over 100 million (as of 2010) worldwide.

Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley (former members of Wicked Lester) are the founders of the group. At the performances, the guys experiment with makeup and costumes, shocking the audience as much as possible. Each member came up with their own makeup: Gene became the "Demon", Peter became the "Cat", Ace became the "Space Ace", and Paul became the "Star Child".

The first performances of the group took place in 1973, and in the same year they began recording their first album "Kiss", which was released in 1974.
