KISS Announces 'New Era', Plans To Continue As Sock Puppets

KISS announced a New Era for the band as they will live on eternally as Sock Puppets. KISS closed out the final performance of its “End Of The Road” farewell tour Saturday night at New York City’s Madison Square Garden by announcing that they will continue as digital avatars. However they have now scrapped that plan in favor of the sock puppets.

Gene and Paul made the announcement during an early morning press conference at the Nickelodeon offices in NYC. Stanley stated, ”The end of the road is actually the beginning. If you can’t get in then stay the heck out. We’re not going anywhere. You’ll see us in all different things all the time. We’ll see you in your toilet, your attic and your nightmares.”

Gene then interpreted what Paul meant. “What Paul meant to say is that our newest project is KISS Sock Puppets. The puppets were created by Wayland Flowers Entertainment which gave us Madame, ALF, Team America and Kukla, Fran & Ollie. The Sock Puppets will tour and perform concerts all over the globe. They will even record new music.”

“Sock Puppet technology has advanced over the years and this will allow KISS to continue their legacy for eternity. KISS can now appear at a Bar Mitzvah in New York, a Wedding in Dubai and a concert in Sydney, all in the same night. That’s what you could do with this. Get your tickets because the sock puppets will be having their debut concert at The Sphere in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve.”

The KISS puppets will no longer have names. Initially they were given the namesakes of the original members of the band. However, they immediately started fighting and developing egos and drinking problems. After the Gene & Paul puppets threw the Ace & Peter puppets out of the band, it was decided to go with character names instead. The KISS puppets will be known only as Demon, Starchild, Catman and Spaceman.

Simmons continued, “This tour is the end of the road for the band, not the brand. KISS is a universe of its own — movies, merchandise, amusement parks, cruises, funeral homes, and Broadway. The band will end, but the KISS experience… it is immortal. After Paul and I die we will have our heads frozen and put on exhibit.”
