KISSOnline reports:
"Drummer extraordinaire Eric Singer packed the house at the 2010 Indianapolis KISS Expo on Sunday, March 22nd. Over 700 energetic KISS fans swarmed the Ramada Inn East to come out and see the KISS drummer who is on a short break before the rock icons return overseas for the Sonic Boom Over Europe tour. Eric signed autographs nonstop for eight hours. It was so busy that he could not even leave the KISSOnline booth for a Q&A; session, instead answering questions directly from the booth as expo staff roamed the crowd with a mic!An all-kids KISS tribute band, KIDS, warmed up the enthusiastic crowd with a short setlist. The band members are all between the ages of 11 and 14 and they definitely kicked off the day with a bang! Kids closed with a fast-paced 'Modern Day Delilah' and then handed out DVDs of some of their previous concerts.
During our KISSOnline video presentation, we surprised guest of honor Christopher "Critter" Smith by showing the crowd a clip of Critter meeting KISS last year in Milwaukee!
Later in the day, fan-favorite KISS tribute band MR. SPEED rocked the ballroom with a great set, which included 'All For The Glory', 'When Lightning Strikes' and 'Say Yeah!'.
It was a special day for everyone involved. Numerous fans commented that this was their first convention, and that the expo was everything they hoped it would be and more.
Another great day celebrating the greatest band in the world with the greatest fans ever!
Thanks to Rich Kozak, Bill Starkey and Karen Menyhart for taking these photos for KISSOnline!"
