What's Better Than A Group of Midgets Dressing Up and Singing Like KISS?
KISSing UP: Small in stature, tribute band lives large in honor of Gene Simmons and company:
    Almost exactly a decade ago, Joey Fatale had the idea for MiniKISS, the "littlest KISS tribute band in the world."

    He was moving and, in the process, going through his vinyl records when he came upon his copy of "Alive!" the 1975 live album that helped make KISS a legend.

    "I thought it would be great to have a band of little people dressed up as KISS," Fatale said. "I threw it together as a fluke."
The only thing that could make it better is realizing it's not the only one:
    MiniKISS clicked with Comedy Central's mock-news program "The Daily Show," which recently did a broad parody involving the "rivalry" between MiniKISS and Tiny Kiss, another KISS tribute band with a little-people lineup. On the MiniKISS Web site, Fatale has more or less foreclosed on commenting on Tiny Kiss, but he's taken marketing precautions.
Isn't this country great?
