KISS Set To Play Oshawa Promised Show Tonight

The Canadian Press is reporting:
KISS is set to deliver on its promised show in Oshawa, Ontario tonight (October 7th).
Earlier this year, the face-painted classic rockers asked fans to go to their website and vote for their hometown to be included in the band's next big tour.
Oshawa finished first among all cities, but when the dates for the KISS Alive 35 tour were announced, the city was left off the list, without explanation.
After an outcry from fans in the town, and Oshawa Mayor John Gray, KISS added an Oshawa date to the tour.
Guitarist Paul Stanley tells The Canadian Press that the issue was "blown out of proportion," and that the band always planned on playing Oshawa but just hadn't finalized when the concert would happen.
He also said that the band wouldn't be giving Oshawa fans anything extra - only because, he says, the over-the-top rock group is always giving its all.
