The women of Black Diamond want to Kiss you.
Details:
With its ghoulish costumes, demonic makeup and psycho-circus live production, Kiss inspired legions of bat-winged disciples. But none are more devoted than the tribute bands. There are dozens, including an all-midget outfit dubbed Mini Kiss, but few can claim to be the best one featuring all girls. That's where Black Diamond enters the picture. Formed in Ohio, circa 1997, Black Diamond spent years perfecting its lineup, stage wear and live show. Now, these goddesses of thunder are a force to be reckoned with, a blood-spitting, fire-breathing rock machine that's about as close to the real thing as it gets. Hell, with only two original members left, Kiss practically is a tribute band these days. Plus, BD has the act down cold, right down to the Alive-era outfits and the fleshy hips and protruding breasts found on Kiss' latest reunion tour, but this time in a good way.
