Peter Criss

Peter Criss is a founding member and the original drummer for the rock n' roll supergroup, KISS (1974 to 1980, 1996 to 2003). In addition to playing drums, Peter also provided lead vocals for a number of KISS' most popular songs including the Top 10 Billboard charting Beth, Black Diamond, and Hard Luck Woman. Peter's Catman persona is an instantly recognizable icon in pop culture.

After numerous world tours, platinum albums, and KISS merchandise, Peter Criss left the band in 1980. He later embarked on a solo career that led to the release of Out of Control, Let Me Rock You, and most recently One for All, which landed at number 35 on the Indie charts. By popular demand, the original lineup of KISS reunited in 1995 for MTV's KISS Unplugged, which led to 1996's most successful Worldwide Alive Reunion Tour, 3 Kiss tours followed for Peter (Psycho Circus, the Farewell Tour, and a co-headling sojourn with Aerosmith). With guest appearances by John 5 (Motley Crue, Rob Zombie), Billy Sheehan (David Lee Roth), Paul Shaffer (David Letterman) and Mike McLaughlin, "Peter Criss" represents the Catman's return to form, and his most rock driven solo album ever.
