Kings of the Nighttime World

About

“The Kings” perform over 120 minutes of great KISS music in full makeup, while sporting authentic costumes and instruments from the KISS heyday period of the late 1970’s. We are seasoned performers and accomplished musicians that have been involved in a variety of musical projects over the years.
Our festival experience includes an unforgettable appearance at “Summerfest“ in Prospect Heights and a much heralded opening slot for Foghat at “Countryfest“ in Countryside. Local club appearances include heart stopping sets at prominent venues such as Shark City, Synergy, and 115 Bourbon Street. Other highlights include a series of thrilling performances held in Columbus, Nebraska. One such performance, “Rockin’ on the Runway”, featured a lineup with Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil, Loverboy, Warrant and “The Kings.” We have also appeared throughout the midwest in Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Florida.
We are planning to greatly expand our regional coverage in 2011. Please visit www.kingsofthenight.com to learn more about the KINGS, and to view photos from past performances.
