Ash Brookes - The Starchild

'My dear lovers' 
I've been doing this a long time. A very long time. Longer than anyone else. Someone had to. But it didn't start with KISS - being bought 'Blockbuster' by the Sweet as my first record in '73, that set the tone. So then along came 'Alive II' courtesy of my Brother - waking up sometime in 1978 to hear 'I want you' and seeing the inner gatefold was the 'I wanna be in KISS' moment alot of kids had then, except I wasn't really ever going to let it go... and still haven't!
I've done original stuff, been in cover bands, and have an Extreme Tribute in the pipeline for 2026, but DRESSED TO KILL isn't stopping any time soon - KISS did it for 50 years - let's see how far this can go - because it keeps getting better and better, thanks to Neil, Tim, and Kev. And, of course - YOU. X

Love KISS since the age of 13 when I first saw the double gatefold of Alive II with that stage and the iconic picture of Gene. 

First DTK gig was Aug 17th 2019 Rock 'n Ribs Festival

Playing in DTK is a dream come true having followed the band since reading about them in Kerrang. Being a massive fan of KISS & Eric Singer this is a match made in heaven for this Welsh lad....

 

 

Kev Williams - The Spaceman

Started playing guitar around age 13 when I made a 6 string version of Gene;'s axe guitar in school (that still plays today).

Favourite bands - KISS, Sixx.A.M, Godsmack, Spread Eagle

First gig - St Martins Institute in 1986. We expected to play to a few people but we had about 300 turn up

Influences - Ace was the reason I wanted to be a guitarist, Randy Rhoads was the reason I wanted to really learn how to play

I have played in bands for many years, some opening for bands like Those Damn Crows & Stone Broken and also played with some top tribute bands

I have 3 songs available online and also have release CD's with 2 previous bands 

KISS always has and always will be my passion
