The band — consisting of Gene on bass and vocals, Jason Walker on guitar and vocals, Brian Tichy on drums and vocals and Brent Woods on guitar — played “Strange Ways” and “Rocket Ride” as part of the 14-song set, which marked GENE SIMMONS BAND‘s first show of 2026.
During an August 2024 appearance on the Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast, Simmons stated about his performances with his solo band: “[We’re] just having a lot of fun.”
