KISS Looking To Hire Reserves As ‘Roadie For A Day” Gigs

Know anyone in the National Guard or Reserves?  Well, forget Uncle Sam KISS wants them to crew their shows this summer.

According to Military Times,

Rock legends Kiss are gearing up to launch their “Freedom to Rock” U.S. tour. Appropriately for the pyrotechnics-fueled hard rockers, the tour kicks off July 4 in Tucson, Arizona. It ends in Huntington, West Virginia, on Sept. 10.

At each of the more than 30 stops along the way, the band is looking to hire one military part-timer as a “roadie for a day.” The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Hiring Our Heroes program is coordinating the effort.

“Some of the details are still being worked out, but we’ll be working with local military organizations to determine who that will be for each leg of the tour,” Hiring Our Heroes communications manager Brooke Prouty told Military Times.

And just to be clear, this is a paying gig. “They will actually be hired for the day and work as a roadie," Prouty said.

In addition to that KISS is offering discount and in some instances free tickets to active military members through Vet Tix.
