So, Gene Simmons is doing a handful of shows, without makeup and without Kiss, in conjunction with a touring comic convention (or something like that). He's played I think three show now, and it's a pretty good setlist. Some old favorites - Deuce, RnRAN, Calling Dr. Love - some obscure Kiss tunes - Charisma, Parasite, Goin' Blind - and some solo songs - Radioactive, See You Tonite. I found out he's playing the Trocadero in a GA show on June 2. I figure, STUB HUB! because Gene "God of Thunder" Simmons is certainly going to sell out a club; it'll be pandemonium! Long story short, I just went on the Troc site today and tickets are still available.
General hatred of Kiss notwithstanding, his voice is intact, he's never done a solo tour/show before this, it's a small place (1200 seats), and the setlist is high quality (if you're a Kiss fan). 18 songs, and NUGGETZ!
Why is this not sold out? Am I missing something?
