Tiny Kiss Will Have Their Revenge On Vegas
Lick it up!
In the beginning it was just four little people with a dream. Many years, many groupies, and plenty of in-fighting later, Tiny Kiss, the second incarnation of the original little people Kiss tribute band, has signed a 2-year, $1.5 Million deal to play at Beacher's Rockhouse at the Hard Rock Vegas every night at 9PM beginning July 1st, 2006.
Tiny Kiss is so popular that the Prince of Saudi Arabia flew them to his homeland and even let them stay in their own wing of his palace to play in front of the Prince and a dozen of his friends.
The made for VH-1, er, TLC story tells a tale of "artistic differences", mostly between original Mini Kiss band members Li'l Tim (the drummer) and Joy Fatale. The story goes, like, this:
Tim was banging all the groupies while Joey was watching from the background. Joey, using his strong-arm tactics, got the other band members of Mini Kiss together against Loomis, and in a fit of jealousy, kicked him out. Li'l Tim was heartbroken, the band having been the cornerstone of his life's work. Tim vowed to one day get back at his arch nemesis.
Li'l Tim became a headliner for Beacher's Madhouse at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas . Jeff Beacher, the mastermind behind Beacher's Madhouse, had been talking to Joey Fatale, and hired Mini Kiss to perform at the Madhouse, telling Joey that the only way he would put Mini Kiss onstage is if Li'l Tim Loomis was behind the drums once again. Joey agreed to put his jealousy aside and work with Tim Loomis once more.
Tim eventually found strength to finally get back at Joey when he met Shorty Rossi, Wee Matt McCarthy, and their much larger friend, Big Beth Mara. Together with Tim at the helm, they formed their own Kiss Satire Band, Tiny Kiss.
Revenge is sweet, especially when it is in the form of a 300 pound female Paul Stanley impersonator.
We are so going to one of these shows next time we are in Vegas.
