Battle Of The (Little) Bands
One good idea often leads to another -- and often to the same idea.Face it. You could do a whole lot worse as a concept for a band than a KISS tribute band made up of dwarves.
This is the motivating idea behind MiniKISS.
It's also the motivating idea behind Tiny KISS.
Well, actually Tiny KISS combines the dwarf-KISS concept with the 350-pound female Paul Stanley impersonator concept (admittedly, that's a new -- and perhaps less appealing -- concept).
But the best part of the story, of course, is the all-too-understandable death feud in which the two bands are now locked.
As the LA Times describes it,
Joey Fatale, the 4-foot, 4-inch New Yorker who heads the all-dwarf KISS tribute band MiniKiss, is denying published reports that he tried to sneak past security last month at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas to confront a rival band leader, 4-foot "Little" Tim Loomis of Tiny Kiss, for allegedly ripping off his idea for such a group.While it's hard to know exactly which band rocks harder, there is no doubt that MiniKISS has better makeup. And isn't that really half the battle for a KISS tribute? You decide:
Loomis, a former drummer for MiniKiss, was performing with Tiny Kiss, which includes three little people and a 350-pound woman, on St. Patrick's Day at Beacher's Madhouse, a Las Vegas variety show, when the incident occurred.
