Australian melodic rock band The Radio Sun have penned an original tribute to Ace Frehley titled 'SpaceMan'. Guitarist Stevie Janevski goes on to say 'all of us in The Radio Sun grew up on a healthy diet of KISS and in particular were all inspired by the original spaceman Ace Frehley. This song is a bit of fun and is not meant to defame anyone in particular but rather a stance acknowledging the original SpaceMan'.
4 song CD/EP and will also be available on ITunes, Spotify, Google Play etc. soon.

In April 2013 Berlin based folksinger and guitarplayer Marceese released his first full KISS Tribute album "Baby Driver". He announced to record the complete KISS backing catalog from the 70's area. On January 23, 2015 Timezone Records is set to release his second coup called "Have Love, Will Travel". He made it his business.
Like on his first KISS cover album Marceese nearly forgoes the big hits and leave some die-hard-fans with clueless faces. And surprisingly the new interpretations sound way older than the originals by Gene, Ace, Peter and Paul ! Which is result of Marceese slipping over his own Americana-folk-style to 70's Hard Rock tunes.
"Tomorrow and Tonight" and "Move On"for example sounds like 40ies / 50ies recordings.
"Have Love, Will Travel" is a varied folk record in the broadest sense, far away from the excessively buffoonery of the New York Hard Rock quartet.
KISS have recorded two new songs with the Japanese Idol winners Momoiro Clover Z (also known as Momoclo).

Momoclo takes the lead on the song while KISS provides the instrumentation and backing vocals.
The KISS version will also include the extra song SAMURAI SON, which is also slated to be included on the January 28th release of the Japanese version of “Best of KISS 40".
Here's the official sneak peek trailer for the KISS vs. Momoiro Clover Z single that will be released on January 28. It will be released in two versions - "Momoclo Edition" and "KISS Edition" - via iTunes in 120 countries.
