KissMania
Kiss Tribute at Poncan Saturday
 Kissmania,
the world's leading Kiss tribute act will be performing live on stage at the
Poncan Theatre Saturday night. The concert starts at 7:30 with the opening band
Mother Kelly. Tickets for the event are $12 in advance or at the door and are
available from the Poncan Theatre box office open Monday through Friday 10 to 5.

Kissmania brings to the stage the 1977-1978 "Love Gun" era of the legendary rock
group Kiss. Kissmania not only recreates the sound of Kiss, but also utilizes
authentic costumes, make-up and a stage set that complete the original line-up
for that time. In re-creating the essence of what makes the original Kiss great,
Kissmania delivers a replica of the hottest rock show in the world. They bring
the bombastic arena sized Kiss show to the small stage; which includes a
flashing 4x8 Kiss sign, and a set list that spans the entire Kiss catalog. Each
member emulates their character to the last detail from authentic instruments,
make-up, costumes, and stage presence. Proving once again that you can
rock-n-roll all night and party everyday.
Kissmania is known as the greatest Kiss tribute band on tour. They have only one
goal in min ... to be as entertaining as the band they call legends. Drawing
from the expansive career, they incorporate the best of Kiss, performing land
mark solos and shocking theatrics with a deadly precise representation of Kiss
music and vocals.
Kissmania is made up of four seasoned professional performers
who bring years of onstage experience to the band. Kissmania is Mark Hermansen
as Ace Frehley, Mike Blair as Paul Stanley, Art Long as Gene Simmons, and Tom
Cavanaugh as Peter Criss.
