In celebration of their 50th anniversary,  legendary rock band KISS will be launching an incredible walking audio tour that takes you through the life of the band via landmarks around the city. It goes live on March 22nd for all fans AND it’s FREE. (There will also be a KISS Merch pop-up at Generation Records!)

Think of it as a kind of location-specific museum of iconic places in New York City that encompass their story as a band. Band members Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Bob Gruen provide exclusive interviews during the tour, which is packed with never-before-revealed secrets and memories associated with the spots visited along the way.

Fans will gather in the West Village on March 22nd  (the day of the launch as well as the KISS anniversary) to embark on the walking tour – however the audio tour will be available on YouTube and the band’s website, for anyone to access at any time.

This spring, Coachtopia is bringing a vision of fashion’s circular future to Bloomingdale’s.

Over the course of three weekends the pop-up will feature DJs, food partners and a Dustbag Print Shop, in which any customer who buys a Coachtopia product will receive a limited-edition Coachtopia dustbag that will be screen-printed on site as a gift with purchase.
