Ace Frehley Ready to Rock Oz Solo

The KISS Army will be out in force when the band’s original lead guitarist, Ace Frehley, visits Australia for his first ever solo tour next month.

Ace will take his smoking guitar and vocals down the East Coast to support his new album Anomaly. The disc is set to become his most successful solo venture to date thanks to the big single “Outer Space.” The disc has been 10 years in the making, after Ace joined Kiss for a reunion tour, but he assures is it’s worth the wait.

“I don’t know why it’s taken so long,” Ace confessed. “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.”

Tickets for the shows are on sale now through Red Ant Touring and Ticketek.
