Say goodbye to the flesh-and-blood members of the rock group Kiss.

Fifty years ago, four young New Yorkers dragged their guitars, amps and drums to a loft on 23rd Street in New York, dreaming of becoming the biggest band in the world.

Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley of Kiss perform live in New Haven, Connecticut, during the Alive II Tour in January 1978. ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - This Kiss concert is happening Down Under, all right. Kiss singer Paul Stanley says the band will play at least four songs, adding he's not sure how much more of Kiss the sharks can take. He says sharks are attracted to low frequency vibrations, making rock n' roll an ideal choice to interest them. The Nov. 18 event will be held in the Indian ocean off Port Lincoln in south Australia.
