Where once there was merely a KISS Army (the
name for KISS’ official fanclub), there seems to
have grown a KISS Industrial Complex. KISS, now
more than 40 years running, is thought to be
the most successful band in rock history when
it comes to merchandising. In fact, the wavy line
between rock group and shopping mall novelty has
blurred so much that even band members some-
times mistake themselves for living, breathing
tchotchkes; few years back, KISS frontman Gene
Simmons told CNN Money: “My favorite piece of
merchandising is me.” Simmons estimates that
KISS is a billion dollar industry. Over the years the
band has officially licensed approximately 3,000
KISS-themed products: T-Shirts, booty shorts, board
games, tote bags, trading cards, condoms, plush
toys, Christmas tree ornaments, bath towels, comic
books, pinball machines, protective cellphone and
iPad cases, barbeque sauce, golf club covers, M&Ms
and much more. Diehard KISS Army recruits can
even be buried in official KISS coffins. Whatever
it is you want, you can find it with a flaming KISS
logo emblazoned on it. The lucrative theatrical hard
rock glam band brings its Freedom to Rock Tour to
Eugene Saturday, check out the merch tables.
KISS: Freedom to Rock begins 8pm Saturday, July
9, the Matthew Knight Arena, UO; $39-$125.
