The KISS episode of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" is scheduled to air this Sunday, February 21 at 8 pm (EST) .

In the spirit of the KISS Army, when the ABC hit show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" told legendary rockers KISS about a family of needy KISS fans in Gainesville, Florida, who started a home-based, non-profit music school while their own home is falling down around them, the band heeded the call and launched the offense during their Tulsa stop on their North American KISS/Alive 35 tour.

Tobin and Jill Wagstaff, a couple with four children, operate Studio Percussion, Inc., a school that currently serves about 200 people, half of which receive financial aid or a full scholarship. The non-profit school can only afford to pay Tobin, 29, a salary, so Jill, 32, must also work as a pre-school teacher to help pay the bills. Their utter devotion to their family, school, and community leaves little time and resources to tend to their home that is in dire need of repair. The floors and rooftops are completely rotting away and the electrical system throughout the house is faulty.

In just seven days, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" team leader Ty Pennington, the design team, and the Gainesville community are rebuilding their home while the show sent the family on a surprise rock and roll vacation.

KISS in Carnival of Torres Vedras, Portugal

Hi KISS!

KISS is everywhere and for one night they rocked in the Carnival of Torres Vedras, Portugal! As you can see, my group were the Bee's. Here is the concept of our costumes: every Bee was named Bee + Name and I was Bee...ne Simmons! For me it was a dream come true to have on KISS make-up.

Now my next dream is to see the band playing live in London and Barcelona in May and June! Counting the days!

Cheers!
Marco Castro

The Calgary Philharmonic is going full makeup to get into the mood for the orchestra's latest rock and roll collaboration, A jeans 'n classics tribute to KISS.

One of the funnier moment during the Super Bowl was a Dr. Pepper ad featuring Mini Kiss. These guys are a real Kiss tribute band, and they checked in live from New York Monday morning. Kaley O'Kelley chatted with the band, and might have come away with a date.

Here's an interview with Mini KISS on Good Day LA.

On this day in KISStory - February 9, 1999, The KISS Playboy issue hit newsstands everywhere. The issue featured Gene Simmons on the cover, along with a 12 page section on KISS and the girls of KISS.

Here are a few photos of Gene Simmons from the "KISS Kompendium" book signing last night at Barnes & Noble Booksellers at The Grove in Los Angeles, California.
