Casablanca was home to iconic hard rock acts KISS and ANGEL, as well as several of the decade's most visual and influential artists like PARLIAMENT, THE VILLAGE PEOPLE and DONNA SUMMER. And Party Every Day was written by Larry Harris, former Casablanca Vice President, who co-owned and co-founded the infamous record label with Bogart. Harris shares credit with co-authors Curt Gooch and Jeff Suhs, whose critically-acclaimed 2002 publication KISS Alive Forever is widely regarded as the most authoritative book ever written on the band.

On the topic of KISS' much-anticipated new CD, Gene said, "[It's the] first studio album in 11 years. And you can't force those things — either it's in your blood and it's happening or... This is, I have to say... this might be the best new record we've done since 'Destroyer'. In fact, it has a similar sound — 'Rock And Roll Over'-meets-'Love Gun' kind of a record. That's coming out in September/October, and then we're gonna be doing a 60-city American tour."

KISStory: KISS PLAYS ALASKA 1974

KISS PLAYED ALASKA FOR FIRST TIME!

(from KISSONLINE)

KISS played Anchorage, Alaska on June 2, 1974 on their first tour in support of the album, KISS. The band performed with Savoy Brown at the Sundowner Drive-In Theatre. This was KISS’ only concert in Alaska until they returned over twenty five years later on January 3, 2000.Paul recalls the visit to Alaska:"It was surreal to get to Alaska expecting blizzards and polar bears, only to find that with heaters near our boots all over the stage, we would be playing outside! Every time we went too close to the heaters, our guitars went completely out of tune! It was cold out there!
