Gene Simmons Announces Dates for The Gene Simmons Band North American Tour

While Kiss is getting ready to become a virtual band or whatever, Gene Simmons is still soldering on with his solo project, The Gene Simmons Band. Simmons has been rolling out the tour dates for his upcoming spring tour with his band gradually over the past few weeks instead of announcing them all at once, and just yesterday he announced three more dates on his Instagram in Rohnert Park, California, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and San Antonio, Texas. That brings the total number of dates for the tour up to 16 stretched across April and May, starting in California, then flying to the other side of the country for a handful of dates in Florida, then going up the East coast, up into Canada, and finishing up in Texas. That seems like a really bizarre way to put together a tour, but what do I know. I mean, I know how to drive across the country in a straight fucking line, so maybe I do know something.
