Billing themselves as the greatest tribute to the non-make era of KISS, Kuarantine came to The Vault in New Bedford on their first East Coast tour. What started as a project to keep busy during the pandemic lockdown has now turned into a touring band. Featuring Fozzy frontman\/professional wrestling superstar Chris Jericho on vocals, as well as bassist PJ Farley, from both Fozzy and Trixter, the setlist tonight was one you are not likely to hear another KISS tribute band play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Jericho said they were the best non-make up kiss tribute, I thought to myself they are probably the only one. They are certainly the only one who can draw a crowd on a cold Thursday night. It’s hard to deny that some of why they can get away with that is because of having Jericho in the band, but they are not resting on his name. This is an overly talented band with phenomenal musicians and tribute to the less often looked at albums of KISS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They of course played some of the more recognizable songs from the era, like “Heaven’s on Fire,” “Let\u2019s Put the X in Sex,” and “Lick it Up,” But they also played more obscure tracks like “All Hell’s Breakin’ Loose” and “Uh! All Night.” Before launching into “Fits Like a Glove,” Jericho said that this song, like all the other KISS songs, is about sex. He said that honestly this song had some of the cringiest, corniest lyrics, but that they embrace it and have fun with it. He admitted you can’t take yourself seriously when performing on a stage with 100 pairs of bras and panties strewn across the stage, having been tossed at the band during “Heaven’s on Fire.” At times the band gave off Steel Panther vibes, but that\u2019s not really a surprise when Steel Panther are themselves paying a tribute to the era of excess in the 80s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a set came close to the end, they played “Creatures of the Night,” after which Jericho said “We play a few songs from the make up era, but we play them the way KISS did in the 80s\u2026 Really really fast!” After playing , they kicked into blazingly fast rendition of “Love Gun” and “Detroit Rock City.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band reached what would be an encore, but Jericho admitted there was nowhere for them to go and hide in the venue, so they were just going to kick right into the encore. After “Lick it Up,” the night came to close with “Turn on the Night,” and the audience of diehard KISS fans left happy, hearing songs that KISS haven\u2019t played, if ever, in decades.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
