New year. New location. New venues. New band to check out.  Mini Kiss kicked off their 2025 tour cycle at the New PAC in Newton, NC and they wated no time geting the show started.  The four guys wearing the famous makeup were locked, loaded, and ready to rock the sold out crowd on a Saturday night.  Armed with their instruments and a couple handfuls of songs, the mini members rocked through some famous Kiss classics and even ventured outside the Kiss catalog for a little bit as well.  While there was no huge lighting rig, no pyro, and no special effects, there was no shortage of energy being pumped from the stage and exchanged with the packed venue.  Frontman Mini Paul sang with a smile on his face and attitude in his vocal that conveyed his excitement performing song after song.  While Mini Peter kept time from behind his drum kit, the band played songs like “Strutter,” “Love Gun,” and “Lick It Up.”  Mini Gene had many opportunities to show off his tongue and even took center stage to do his own version of spitting blood for the crowd.  As teh band worked through “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” and set closer “Rock And Roll All Nite,” Mini Ace played lick after lick.  The crowd loved what they were seeing and sang along with the band song after song, jumping up to dance along and headbang.  The band made themselves available to the crowd for photos and high fives after the show extending the evening for everyone there.  The spirit of Kiss lives on…
