Rock'N'Roll !!!!! Chris Giordano was born on January 20th 1973 in Philadelphia,PA. and is a Veteran “KISS” Tribute Paul Stanley icon. Chris was born the same year “KISS” was formed and the stars were alined perfectly to shape Chris's future in “KISS” Tribute Bands around the Country. Chris remembers getting into “KISS” at 5 years old in 1978. Since then Chris has played PAUL STANLEY in various KISS Tributes over the years such as DEUCE, KISSTERIA, HOTTER THAN HELL, DRESSED TO KILL, and with “ALIVE” out of HOUSTON TEXAS.Chris has the same birthday as Paul Stanley (January 20th). Chris met Paul on many occasions and got the ultimate compliment from him in 2006 when he told me "I was the best he ever heard" out of all the tributes he has seen. Chris made it to 2nd round of the first ever X Factor USA auditions,and is constantly asked by other “KISS” Tribute bands to fill-in when needed. * Mark Trafford as Gene Simmons "The Demon" Mark Tafford was born March 23rd 1992 in Salibury Maryland. Mark discovered “KISS” at 7 years old and distinctly remembers hearing “GOD OF THUNDER” on the car radio with his father. Marks father also a “KISS” fan, explained the history of “KISS” and Mark began his ever growing fascination with the group. Mark got his first guitar at age 7 and immediately began learning to play it along with his favorite band “KISS”. In 2010 Mark met “ROOM SERVICE” guitarist Levin Lewis and started a band called “Taking Action” which played tons of “KISS” tunes with Mark on bass guitar.When Levin and drummer Jimmy James Darr started “ROOM SERVICE” it was only natural to bring in Mark as “The Demon”. Mark eventually moved in with Levin where they both continually practice “KISS” songs. * Levin Lewis as Ace Frehley "The Spaceman" Born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, November 11th 1993, makes Levin the youngest member (18) of “ROOM SERVICE”. Levin is also the founder of the “ROOM SERVICE” “KISS” Tribute Band . Levin was bitten by the “KISS” bug early on at age 9 when he picked up his guitar and started to emulate his guitar hero ACE Frehley. Levin also began his interest in guitar repairing,building,and designing his own guitars many of which are signed by Ace himself. Levin began making his own pyro including smoking guitars, fire breathing,and many other “KISS” stage theatrics which he now designs for many other “KISS” Tributes. * Jimmy James Darr as Peter Criss "The Catman" Jimmy James Darr was born February 21st 1965 in Baltimore,Maryland making him the oldest co-founding member of “ROOM SERVICE”. Jimmy James remembers being given a cassette of the “ALIVE” album at 10 years old which he constantly played on his battery powered cassette player. Jimmy James credits Peter Criss and this very album with sparking his desire to learn to play drums. That influence led to a career of over 30 years playing in many groups that usually covered “KISS” material. In 2008 Jimmy James was diagnosed with cancer in his left thigh which eventually led to the amputation of the entire hip and leg. At that time Jimmy James had thought playing drums was now not possible, But the urging of Jimmy's Family and friends along with examples such a Rick Allen of Def Leopard gave him the courage to try,and since 2008 he has played in several working bands ,and even became a session drummer at a Baltimore recording studio using a special high hat set-up. Jimmy says: Many club patrons routinely tell me they never would have known of my disability during my performances and are inspired by the fact I'm onstage and playing in such a “look” oriented band.Which are the highest compliments I've ever received. It's what inspires me to go on and prove to myself and everyone that anything is possible regardless of a disability.... About
