April 22, 2009, 15 years ago
CHERIE CURRIE (ex-THE RUNAWAYS is the latest artist confirmed to participate on the upcoming SUPER STAR project, being put together by Kris Kancler.
An update reads: "The great Cherie Currie was in the studio yesterday to work on our song 'Rockin Angel'! She is from the infamous band The Runaways. You know that little girl band that paved the way for the rest of the women in Rock, which also included JOAN JETT and LITA FORD. Cherry’s voice was perfect for this song and we are delighted and humbled that she decided to help us with it. We intend for this song to hit home for allot of addict families whom are in recovery from substance abuse. When you hear her performance on this track and hear her amazing vocal approach, you will understand what we mean. She was perfect! Thanks again for all your hard work yesterday Cherie!"
Some background info on Kancler and his project reads as follows:
"A percussion fanatic, Kris Kancler, aka Super Star, is as crafty on the kit as he is cunning in life. A recoverist of the highest order, Kris understands something about ambition, addiction and the power to overcome.A former computer consultant (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer), Kris ran a flourishing business in Chicago called Computer Professionals On Demand. He lived in Chicago for several years battling a serious addiction that almost destroyed his life. Kancler, however, fought with Super Star fervor.
Now a passionate health participant, Kancler’s obvious good looks, enigmatic charm, and undeniable talent have lent themselves to good use.
A serious KISS fan for most of life, Kris has always had a taste for rock n' roll, with a particular rebellious, out-of-the-box attitude, an approach that he has adopted in almost every aspect of his life.
Kris Kancler is actively engaged in a series of promising projects ranging from an extraordinarily personal account of his first ninety days of recovery (half written from the perspective of his brother, Marc) aptly titled The First 90 & Beyond.
The book will also include an music CD artfully composed by Kris and his twin brother, marking the debut of their music collaboration. The book and CD are also prompting the possibility of a speaking tour throughout the college circuit and beyond.
When a fortuitous meeting with lifelong idol Paul Stanley came about, the Kancler brothers didn’t waste any time in coming up with a first class pitch for KISS’s latest reunion tour - just another example of super and rock star power!!!
With the not-for-profit venture We Are One in full flux, the possibility of a Reality TV show in the works, a patent for a dog-training device, combined with the release of The First 90 & Beyond and the CD, life is looking Super Good for Super Star Kris Kancler!"
