Frehley recently announced his first Australian shows since 2010, and his first ever New Zealand solo shows.
Says Ace, "I can't wait to get down to New Zealand and Australia with this new lineup. I'll be performing Ace classics as well as songs off my new CD Space Invader for the enjoyment of the fans. Let There Be Rock!"
Joining Ace on stage will be Richie Scarlet, who rode shotgun performing rhythm guitar and vocal duties on Ace’s Trouble Walking platter and has toured with Sebastian Bach; bass guitarist Chris Wyse (Ozzy Osbourne, The Cult); and Scot Coogan (Lita Ford, Nikki Sixx).
The 2-hour set features everything an Ace or KISS fan could hope for. Included are all his solo anthems - "New York Groove" (a bona-fide Top 20 Hit in Australia and NZ), "Snowblind", "Rock Soldiers" and highlights from his latest Top 10 Billboard album Space Invader. Plus KISS diamonds such as "Strutter", "Cold Gin", "Love Gun", "Deuce", "Shock Me" and "Detroit Rock City". Plus as a special treat for KISS fans, some rare KISS gems that you simply won’t hear anywhere else - "Talk To Me", "Rocket Ride", "Strange Ways", "Parasite" and "King Of The Night Time World".
