KISS [ tickets ] fans will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with their heavy metal heroes in movie theaters during an upcoming special screening of a classic concert from 1976.

"KISS Alive! On the Big Screen" will screen one night only, Oct. 26, in selected movie theaters around the country. The footage captures the band in its original and most familiar incarnation--Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss--performing during a 1976 concert at Detroit's Cobo Hall.

"I was blown away by this footage," Stanley said in a press release. "Watching it on the big screen is as close as anyone will ever get to traveling back to those days."

Tickets to the event will cost $10, and are available through the Big Screen Concerts website, along with a list of theaters showing the film.

The movie event represents only the tip of the latest marketing iceberg for the band. The group has set a Nov. 21 release date for a new box set containing reissues of some of its most famous live recordings. "KISS Alive!!! 1975-2000" will include newly remastered versions of 1975's "Alive I," 1977's "Alive II," and the 1993 release "Alive III," as well as the previously unreleased "Millennium Concert" from 2000, which was originally intended to be issued as "Alive IV," but later scrapped.

The group also plans a Halloween day release of its new concert/documentary DVD. The two-disc "KISSology Vol. 1 1974-1977" will include more than six hours of concert and backstage footage going back to the band's earliest days.

Aside from the slew of new KISS product, bassist/singer Gene Simmons has been busy with his latest foray into capitalism, a new line of designer fragrances for both men and women.

Simmons recently dropped in at an Army base in North Carolina to promote the products, KISS Him cologne and KISS Her perfume.

"If people decide that a KISS fragrance line makes sense," Simmons said during the promotional jaunt, "who's to argue with America?"
