BRUCE KULICK Issues Update

May 27, 2008

Former KISS and current GRAND FUNK RAILROAD guitarist Bruce Kulick has posted a lengthy update on his official web site. An excerpt from his message follows:

"A few weeks ago John Corabi (MTLEY CRE, RATT, UNION, THE SCREAM) and I were off to Mexico City for a big event that was a large music expo, with vendors and sponsors and artists from around the world all getting together to share everything we all love about music. It was called Expo Rock and, although some of the bands were very varied, John and I represented for sure the rock side of the event... although we were asked to perform with our acoustic guitars!

"The band John and I formed 10 years ago called UNION never played in Mexico, although the KISS and MTLEY fans are quite familiar with our careers and, of course, we have had a few very successful concerts with our friend Eric Singer, the current KISS drummer. As the ERIC SINGER PROJECT (ESP),we have been in Mexico twice in three years, and the fans loved those performances. Last time we were there was in December of 2007, so many of those who attended the Expo Rock got a chance to meet John and I at the special meet-and-greets organized at the event. We had two days to play and sign things for the fans, and the reaction we received made us feel very welcome. Mexico has some amazing fans and we loved taking photos and signing for them.

"On the Saturday Expo, we performed on the main stage. We prepared a 40-minute set that included UNION tunes, some BEATLES songs, and two new John Corabi originals that he has been recording. We also played 'Against The Grain', the acoustic song from my CD 'Transformer', live for the first time ever!

"It was great performing with him again acoustically, as we used to do promotional performances quite often in the UNION days on just our acoustic guitars.

"Second day of the event, the meet-and-greet once again was huge. We were asked to play our set this time on the smaller second stage, which actually was much more appropriate dynamically. Problem was, and it was a BIG problem, the band on the main stage about a half a football field away was so loud I couldn't even tune my guitar! So we went off the stage and waited for the band playing on the main stage to quiet down."
