Throwback
North America with Peter Criss & Ace Frehley from KISS on the Bad Boys of KISS Tours
Criss’ last singer: Jason Ebs…
By Julian Gill
Jason Ebs was the final vocalist in Peter Criss’ solo band CRISS who spilt up following Peter rejoining KISS for the highly successful Reunion Tour. During his time with the CRISS Jason toured on the double-bill Bad Boys of KISS tours which saw CRISS and the ACE FREHLEY BAND team up throughout North America. Following Peter leaving the band, the remainder of the band would stay together for a while to work as SKOFF prior to moving off, individually, in new directions. The KissFAQ would like to thank Jason for graciously taking the time to answer my rather long Q&A, and approaching it both with humor and detail! Read more here

In addition to focussing on the curriculum, his band Split Decision played the Club Scene and Fraternity Circuit all over State College, PA performing covers of the best of Classic Rock, ranging from Zeppelin to Kansas to INXS. After performing a concert for 35,000 people, he realized that entertainment & music were his calling, so he moved to Los Angeles:)
Can you guess where they got the name?
