Kiss

An iconic American rock band formed in 1973, famous for its members' distinctive face paint (The Demon, Starchild, Spaceman, Catman), elaborate costumes, and over-the-top stage shows with pyrotechnics. The name KISS isn't an acronym (despite "Knights in Satan's Service" rumors); it was chosen because it's a universally recognizable word symbolizing passion and danger, derived from a former band name "Lips,"
