Nick and Sophie Simmons, offspring of the newly married Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed made some news recently when they debuted their first performance together in Canada last weekend at the River Rock Casino Resort as part of the Grey Cup Festival.

Our friend Rutger from Holland sent us this amazing clip from the recent KISS Expo in Holland. Says Rutger,

“Ik beloof, dit is de laatste spammer mbt de expo van vorig weekend. Maar deze is dan ook wel heel cool en moet je gezien hebben… Kiss drummer Eric Singer spreekt een aankondiging in voor onze band, Kiss on the Rocks. Voor wie het herkent, dit is het befaamde ‘you wanted the best, you got the best’ intro dat Kiss zelf altijd voor een show doet. Alleen nu dus speciaal voor Kiss on the Rocks”.

I don’t know either, but the clip speaks for itself. Eric Singer introduces the tribute band KISS on the Rocks before they go into an exciting rendition of DRC. Eric’s expo appearances are always an event in themselves. His participation and interaction with the fans is something everyone  remembers for years to come and his current string of European KISS expos are no exception.
