Kiss rocks Facebook

Last night, Kiss streamed their live set from the Epicenter Twenty Ten Festival via Facebook's Nightclub City and Ustream, as well as through a network of rock radio stations in the States.

The feed marked the first time a band of Kiss’ stature has streamed a live show through a social gaming application.

Nightclub City - a popular music-centric social game and marketing platform for musicians on Facebook - is a digital game based around real-world music, and the KISS event represents a blurring of the lines between the real and digital worlds.

Kiss, headlining the first day of the festival at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, delivered a shortened set due to some poor scheduling by the fest and/or a p.r. move by the band. Set to hit the stage at 9:35 p.m. and facing the festival’s strict 11:00 p.m. curfew, Kiss were only able to play an 80-minute set versus their traditional 2-hour plus show.

"We were gonna rock you for two-and-a-half-hours,” Paul Stanley told the crowd, “but we were told we can't...they told us we've got a curfew."
