I've never heard of ZZ Top. Are there any particular songs by them which you recommend?
I assume you’re joking, otherwise you’re going to have to go straight by Governor Abbott’s house and turn in your official Texan card. 😂

I’ve read in several places that Paul and Gene retained a percentage of ownership, and have final say on the presentation that Pophouse delivers, so that’s probably why we didn’t see a much bigger number. 💰

I think most of us have read over the last few years how Paul & Gene were planning on putting 4 new guys in the make-up and sending them out on tour, thus keeping the Kiss name alive for generations to come. At the very least, I think I prefer what they've done here with Pophouse and the avatar idea to that. Who knows, with the visual effects they'll be able to pull off, it might actually be really entertaining taken for what it is, not a traditional rock concert, but simply a visual & musical experience.

Kiss Sells Catalog, Name, Logo and Makeup Rights for $300 Million
Kiss has sold their name, logo, image and likeness rights and their share of the band's music catalog and publishing to Pophouse Entertainment group, the company behind ABBA's popular live avatar show.
According to Fortune, the band is being paid over $300 million by the Swedish company, who plan to use the same technology to launch a Kiss avatar show in America.
"Kiss the touring band is over," bassist Gene Simmons said of the deal. "What Pophouse will do with our images, our music and our personas is unlike anything anyone has ever seen."
Billboard reports that the Kiss avatar show will open in an unspecified U.S. city in 2027. "We went to see the ABBA show and it blew our socks off," Simmons told the magazine. "And the technology since then has improved by leaps and bounds. We've seen sketches of what it will look like and we looked like the X-Men."
"We have a lot of plans for Kiss," Pophouse CEO Per Sundin added. "We want to keep to the legacy. We want to extend and amplify it for new generations." The deal also includes Kiss' share of the publishing and master recordings rights to the band's music catalog.
Kiss offered fans a sneak peak at their avatars during the the last show of their End of the Road farewell tour. At the conclusion of their Dec. 2, 2023 show at Madison Square Garden, oversized digital versions of the band were projected on video screens performing "God Gave Rock and Roll to You II."

“Guardian Angel”
Decent track; I like the bridge leading into the chorus better than the chorus itself.

“She Goes Down (Live)”
Another solid track 👍

From their FB page:
Hello everyone,
After a long silence and with heavy hearts, we have to announce that our front-man from the very beginning, our friend and brother, Dave, is no longer the voice of Hell in the Club.
The very difficult decision was taken after much thought and by mutual agreement, reflective of the deep friendship that unites us.
Due to various personal reasons, Dave can no longer give 100% to the band as he always did and always wanted.
The great news is that, moving forward, he will still continue to be present, behind the scenes, working with us, writing new songs with us and discussing future projects together.
In short, we will continue to work as the team of friends we have always been and as members of this strange but beautiful family.
Change is inevitable but the descent into Hell continues...😈
We have an incredible singer ready to step into Dave's shoes and it's going to be BIG! It will be the start of a new journey, a new challenge, a new era but we will always and forever be totally rock!
We are looking forward to revealing all and we will do, very soon.Thank you so much, Dave, for everything we have shared in the last 14 years on and off stage - the emotions, the highs, the lows, the friendship and the love.
Thank you for your monumentally hard work and your beautiful, unique and distinctive voice that has given so much heart and soul to the music of Hell in the Club for all these years.We love you so much...
Your brothers Andy, Picco and Mark

Uconn is in the final 4 and look unstoppable
Yeah, I actually thought Illinois would give them a decent game...
It's definitely their tournament to lose.
Meanwhile, I'll be pulling for DJ Burns and the Wolfpack!

Solid band here. They have quite a few covers videos, but it's their originals where they shine. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear as if they've done any sort of physical release for their music, but they're definitely a band to keep an ear on.
Here are some more originals to go with the two from above ...
Electric Lover
Die By Night
Woman of the Night
The Devil Inside

Stumbled across these guys recently on YouTube, and LOVE what I hear.
As best I can tell, these songs are from a demo released in 1991
FreeFall - S/T
- Rock U Down
- Hard Ride
- Feels Like Love
- Dangerous
- She Goes Down (Live)
Rob Valentine - Lead Vocals, Keys
Jim Miller - Guitar, Vocals
Ed Nowak - Guitar, Vocals
Mike Gingrich - Bass, Vocals
Mike McCarron - Drums, Vocals
"Rock U Down"
"Hard Ride"
"Feels Like Love"
@Delbert Would you happen to have this demo, or at least heard of them before? Any info on them? There's a Mike Gingrich who played bass in Toronto and Max Webster... same guy possibly?
@Geoff @metalmaniac777 @heavyharmonies Would love your opinions on this one; I mean, am I crazy, or is this a notch above most of the demo/indie stuff you run across?
