A few years ago, Lordd Virgil, a resident of Flint, Michigan had the chance of a lifetime to open for the legendary rock band KISS for a string of warm-up club dates when drummer Eric Singer first joined the band.  But when two of Lordd Virgil's band mates couldn't tour, KISS chose another group.  Now, KISS has just announced a new North American tour, including a stop in Detroit on September 11, and KISS is partnering with Guitar Center for an unsigned band contest that will give unsigned bands a shot at the opening slot.  Can Lordd Virgil and his band by the same name get a second chance to open for KISS in Detroit Rock City?

Unsigned bands nationwide can compete to open for KISS in key cities by first registering, starting today, at http://eventful.com/competitions/kiss2010/register.

The contest will continue for several weeks and Lordd Virgil is asking for support by voting for his band at www.lorddvirgil.com.  He's also started a video diary to document his journey throughout and contest and you can see the first video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bJC7R2biio   or at:  www.lorddvirgil.com

In the meantime, the band is playing a full set of KISS on June 12th at the Circus Park Extravaganza in Clio, MI.
