Hey there, my fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s your funny guy Nuked here, ready to dive into some exciting news in the world of technology. Today, we’re talking about none other than the iconic glam rock band, Kiss, and their latest venture into the digital realm.

Kiss has been rocking stages all over the world for what feels like an eternity. But recently, they wrapped up their final farewell tour in New York City, marking the end of an era. However, this time it might just truly be the end.

At the grand finale of their show, Kiss disappeared in a spectacular display of fire and smoke. As the smoke cleared and the lights dimmed, a camera zoomed in on four silhouettes on a screen behind the stage – the new digital avatars of Kiss. It was a sight to behold and marked the beginning of a new era for the band.

In an exhilarating moment, Paul Stanley shouted to the crowd, “Kiss army, your love – your power – has made us immortal. The new Kiss era starts now. Oh yeah!” Talk about making an exit with style!

But that’s not all. The show also featured translucent screens with projected images of the band, giving it a futuristic Blade Runner vibe. These avatars “performed” a song before leaving the audience with a captivating image of their digital counterparts under the iconic KISS logo and the phrase “A NEW ERA BEGINS.”

And what does this new era entail? Well, it’s all about making money from these digital avatars. Pophouse Entertainment, the company behind the show, has already been doing so successfully with ABBA’s digital versions in their ABBA Voyage show for over a year. So teaming up with Kiss, who have been masters at merchandising for decades, seems like a perfect fit.

In a recent press release, Pophouse announced plans to host “immersive, avatar-powered” concerts featuring Kiss’ Industrial Light & Magic-created avatars. Now, you might be wondering if people would really want to attend a “live” show without any live performers. Well, the answer seems to be a resounding yes!

According to Bloomberg, those ABBA avatar shows have been raking in a staggering $2 million every week. And as Variety reported, the Eras Tour concert video has already surpassed $250 million in worldwide box office sales. So, there’s definitely a demand for these digital experiences.

So, what does the future hold for Kiss and their avatars? If you’re curious to know more about their transition into this digital realm, I highly recommend checking out a 22-minute conversation where they discuss it in detail.

That’s all for today, folks! Stay tuned for more fascinating tech news and remember to embrace the wonders of technology with a smile on your face, just like Kiss does. Catch you later!
