Ace Frehley Tour Re-Scheduled

Ace Frehley’s creatively named It’s Ace Downunder tour is now scheduled for February 2010.

The East Coast venues remain the same and all tickets bought for the October tour are valid for the rescheduled February shows. Additional  dates have also been added in Adelaide and Perth. If you had tickets for the October shows and are unable to make the new dates you can obtain a refund from ticketing agency.

VIP Meet And Greet packages are available in all states.

This is the first ever solo tour to Australia by the former Kiss Spaceman.

The press release offers “Ace Frehley is one of the most influential guitarists in rock history and his trademark KISS black-white-and-silver face paint is one of the most recognisable images in rock history.”

That’s a lot of use of the phrase “rock history”.

You gotta love Ace Frehley. He’s a kooky Kiss member, the one who always seemed a bit out of place in the Kiss money making machine. He’s fought a few demons along the way and has somehow come out the other end with his spirit intact.

He may not have a celebrity/reality show like Gene Simmons but he probably should!

And lets not forget that Ace  designed the KISS iconic logo.

On September 15th Ace Frehley released Anomaly, an album that’s set to become his most successful solo release to date.  It’s his first solo album  in nearly 20 years.

Lets not forget that Ace Frehley’s first solo album was his 1978 self-titled classic, the most successful of the four KISS members’ solo albums and the only one to spawn a hit single  New York Groove.

As for the lengthy delay between solo albums, “I don’t know why it’s taken so long,” he confesses. “I had to put the record on the back burner when I reunited with KISS. But I knew it would be important, so I kept listening to my old records to try to capture what the fans like.”

To commemorate Ace Frehley’s latest solo release, Gibson has created their second Ace Frehley signature Les Paul guitar – the first one (in 1997) was one of the best-selling signature models of all time.
