Information on KISS |
After 30 years, the band that made it cool for men to wear platform
shoes and lots and lots of make up, is still packing 'em in! That's
right, we're talking about legendary rockers, KISS! Our very own Michelle
Alegria hung out with the foursome at the Tweeter Center during their
recent visit to Chicago. This great rock and roll band also just released
a two disk DVD, "The KISS Symphony: Alive IV", which just so happens
number one on the DVD charts!

Information on Alice Peacock |
Chicago singer/songwriter Alice Peacock was immersed in performing
at an early age. While attending college at Lawrence University in
Appleton, WI, she joined the university jazz band and also performed
with a cover band and did some jingle work. It was during this period
that Alice discovered a passion for classic jazz, blues, and standards.
She also found herself interested in folk and bluegrass. After college,
she moved to San Francisco and sang backup vocals with an R&B band
called E.C. Scott and Smoke, however, she felt musically stifled and
moved to Chicago. After several failed attempts to put a band together,
Peacock started playing by herself and composing her own highly personal
material, drawing inspiration from Joni Mitchell and Carole King.
It's difficult to label Peacock a folk, rock, or country performer,
since she is really a bit of everything. She released her debut CD
Real Day on her own label Peacock Music in early 1999; strong word-of-mouth
and favorable press led to the album being picked up for wider distribution
in 2000.
