Ray Waddell of Billboard.com reports: BUCKCHERRY will support KISS on all dates for the band's upcoming North American tour, Billboard has learned. The tour, which begins in September, made headlines last month when it was announced that KISS had partnered with live music social networking site Eventful to route the tour through the top-voted North American markets as determined by demand on the Eventful web site.Voting will continue until June 30 and BUCKCHERRY fans are expected to enter the fray. According to the KISS camp, more than 8,000 cities and towns are already represented on the fan-submitted list.
Buckcherry guitarist Keith Nelson commented on the opportunity. "It's KISS. They're the biggest band in the world. They're legends," he said. "I also think on some level they want to take a band out that doesn't suck. They have a lot of choices of bands to take out, and we're truly one of the last rock and roll bands out there."
