War Machine, Detroit KISS Tribute

War Machine, Detroit KISS Tribute Formed in 1998, War Machine is Detroit's Premier KISS Tribute Band. War Machine is a full costume and make-up musical tribute to 1970's rock legends KISS.

We feature all the great music, energy, smoking guitars, and fire breathing of the original band. Based out of Detroit Michigan, the band has been performing nationally for over 14 years. Selected as one of the bands used to advertise the real KISS reunion tour, War Machine has performed live all across America and Canada at Official KISS Conventions and Expo's. The band has played live on stage w

ith 6 of the 10 original members of the KISS band lineup. We have been the opening act for over 54 National bands such as Cheap Trick, Vince Neil of Motley Crue, and Dennis DeYoung of STYX. War Machine set several attendance records for clubs and festivals during the summer of 2012 season. The band enjoys performing at a wide variety of venues including hotels, casinos, Hard Rock Cafe, corporate and private events, major league sporting event half time shows, and opening day celebrations. We perform indoors or outdoors. We have even performed at two 'KISS' themed weddings. YES, bride and groom in full Kiss makeup! War Machine is a unique tribute act which advertises that all four members sing and play their own instruments. Unlike our competitors, we do not perform to a backing soundtrack. The band is height proportionate to the real KISS. The band also has authentic costumes pieces purchased at rock memorabilia auctions, period correct guitars, drums and amplifiers. Our typical show can be up to 2 1/2 hours in length and contains hit songs from the span of KISS' thirty eight year career. The show features smoking guitar solo, rocket launcher guitar, fire breathing, special effects with fake blood, drum solo, and bass guitar solos. We can offer limited pyro-technic effects for venues which can support it. War Machine enjoys meeting their fans, and we are family and children friendly. We always do a meet and greet and try to stay long enough so each and every person gets a photo with us in costume. We have FREE 8 x 10 photos and glow in the dark guitar picks for the children as well as adults (big kids) who would like to take something home to remember the show. Our shows DO NOT contain profanity. War Machine can be seen on the Nationally Syndicated Food Network show 'Man vs. Food' (Detroit Episode) and the Retro Movie Channel's 'Wolfman Mac’s Horror Theater'.

We know the suspense has been killing everyone, but you gotta love this. PREPARE FOR MORE WAR MACHINE!
