2. It's gotta be the Dead
Every town I've lived in has a Grateful Dead cover band.

11. I was amazed at the number of other bands they got to comment on it
they literally had a room full of KISS tribute band members - all in full makeup - to talk about MiniKiss and the duel.

10. I doubt it's Kiss, though — being in a Kiss tribute band is a big investment...
what with the costumes, makeup, effects, etc.
