Biography

KISS were founded in 1972 by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, who invited Peter Criss and Ace Frehley. After their second show in Manhattan, producer Bill Aucoin offered the young men a contract. For the first year of working at Casablanca Records, they had released three albums, none of them profitable. However, in summer 1975, KISS recorded the concert album Alive, which became the first step to the glory. The band got incredibly famous for their concert shows. The KISS members used spectacular scenic images, broad variety of pyrotechnical effects and, naturally, played outstanding music. It was simple, but extremely effective, rock music. The idea of makeup and costumes was proposed by Criss and found unanimous acceptance among the other musicians. Extravagant outfit and behavior on stage together with musical skills became the keys to the young band's success. Alive was their first platinum album in the USA.
