Music retailer Allans Billy Hyde have secured Kulick for a series of intimate masterclasses, with tickets at $20 and limited to 100 tickets per state.
Here’s what the man himself has to say:
“Everyone! I am so excited to return to Australia this March 2015 because 20 years ago, KISS came to play in your country. It was called ‘KISS My Ass Downunder’ and has so many memories and awesome highlights for me to share.
“The shows were filled with songs from all eras of the band, and was similar to ALIVE III, in many ways. But ‘Leon The Sphinx’ was on stage with us, and the usual huge KISS production was in full force. We hit five cities in Australia, with two shows in Melbourne. I was proud of what we accomplished and I will be digging into some of my favourite songs, discussing the work that goes into these shows, the setlist, and of course my guitar work for live performances.
“We know that playing guitar live can differ from the studio versions and there’s nothing like performing in front of your fans! So please come join me at Allans Billy Hyde. It will be wonderful reliving this tremendous tour with you all, one that I will never forget.”
