1980 was the catalyst that set off a chain of events for the band that would reverberate for the rest of the decade, if not until the 1996 reunion. Therefore, "Mass KISSteria" starts its story on Dec. 16, 1979 and reconstructs a year in the life of a band through internal Aucoin, Casablanca, and Glickman/Marks memos and other documents, newspaper and magazine reports and features, and contemporary interviews in print and other media forms with the band members and others. It covers the history of the band through June 1981, when the "Unmasked" costumes were used in public for the final time... Great book! Out of print and hard to find!
