The KISS Coffeehouse’s 5th Year Anniversary Party is going to be a rock ‘n roll celebration this Saturday – an all day, and all “nite”, rain or shine, rock ‘n roll party, with very special guests, KISS drummer Eric Singer, and KISS lead guitarist Tommy Thayer. KISS Online will also be at this very special, and historic event, and KISS ARMY will be performing a live KISS concert.

Thayer, who sports the spaceman makeup, took a few minutes Tuesday afternoon by phone to talk with TheSunNews.com about the group and the coffeehouse. An excerpt follows:

Q: How does this extra interaction with fans, such as through the party this weekend in Myrtle Beach, remind you how the KISS name, concept, sound and look have remained a cultural touchstone for fans through the decades?

A: "It just shows you the uniqueness of KISS and what it promotes. It’s just a opportunity, now that we are off tour, to get together with some of out dearest and nearest fans, at a KISS Coffeehouse. What other bands can say something like that?

Q: What’s your greatest memory as the guest of honor for the KISS Coffeehouse second anniversary celebration?

A: "There was a kid named Todd who won a contest to sing 'Forever' with me on stage. We took submissions from hundreds of fans who emailed their version of them singing our song 'Forever'.”He won, and he had a great voice. It was a cool, interactive thing to do with fans.
