Sack's Trick's epic Kiss tribute is out now!

(See Discography Page for full details on track listing and special guests)

We've had some great reactions to the Sheep In Kiss Make-up CD so far.
Here's what people have been saying-

Just wanted to say that I received the KISS tribute CD on Saturday morning and I have to say without doubt its the most interesting tribute CD I ever heard. The arrangements on most of the songs are amazing and I'm sure most KISS fans would love this album. I'm spreading the word and hopefully you will receive more orders. Make sure you take some to the KISS expo if anyone there is going as I'm sure you will sell many copies.
Have to say charging £10 is a mistake on your part because the Elder comp alone is worth that on its own.....
Thanx once again for making my weekend........
K. McDonald

Just to say thanks and well done your Kiss album is simply brilliant.  To hear such great versions of songs I knew inside out before I understood a single other thing about music is just priceless.  I particularly love the Elder.  Anyway great job on the artwork too it looks great, the whole thing's a genuine work of art. 

Thanks again I think it's perfect.

Cool Tribute, good job! Why no songs from my era?
Take care
Bruce Kulick (Kiss guitarist)

I'd give it 10 out of 10 simply for the inclusion of the obscure off-the-wall-related material, but the execution, humour, and production rate more than superlatives can describe.

The Sack Trick CD is amazing. I loved it.
Bob Ezrin (Producer of Destroyer, The Elder and Revenge)

I talked to Bruce (Kulick) and he thinks your record is HOT!! It's so nice knowing all these brilliant minds think in such unison...muhahahahahahaha! Enjoy KISStory dude, and know this record probably guarantees you a page or so in one of the future volumes.
Gene Hall (Kisstory Source)

I'll never hear KISS the same way…You came, you dared, you destroyed. More than a good job, probably the best of the best in KISS covers…THANX, GUYS…!!!!!
Fireater

I love the CD, definitely one of the best (and certainly funniest) KISS tributes out there! Is it a mix up of musicians and comedians, it's all so funny and very well played (well, at least that's what I think).
rock on,
Joop (Kiss Related Recordings)
Guys,
It's been a few days now since I received the "Sheep in KISS Make-Up" CD. Thanks a lot! I don't stop listening to it! Your cover of "I'm A Legend Tonight" is funny as Hell!!! And the medley of "The Elder"... Well... What can I say? A KISS FAN DREAM BECOME REALITY!!! No less!
Fred Vehert (Diamant Noir- French Kiss Army)

Well, I was impressed, I'll tell you. Having bought this album on the basis of your previous albums, a couple of MP3s, and also having the disadvantage of not actually liking Kiss all that much (sorry!), I was treated to possibly one of the most eclectic tribute albums I have ever heard. It certainly made a nice change from those dozens of tribute albums out that simply reproduce every song without putting much thought into it. I simply loved the idea of recreating Kiss tracks in a homage to a variety of musical genres- 'Deuce' and 'I Still Love You' being particularly inspired (however, I don't think anything will be able to top 'All Hell's Breaking Loose' for both comedic value and pure style). Not only was this a top-notch CD, you also almost made me like Kiss, which is more than Kiss ever managed :).

Laura

Thanks man! You guys rock! I love the musicianship & eccentricity of your music.
Ned Courtright
I wasn't aware you had any sanity left to lose, mate! The album's fantastic... especially liked Love Gun &  All Hell's Breakin' Loose, with a special commendation for Robin's vocal on Beth (though sadly not in the same league as Peter Criss' version on the Kiss Symphony DVD). My fave though is actually War Machine, the geezer singing on that literally had me in f*cking tears.
The production's cool, too... without sounding too muso-geeky, I'm genuinely interested in what you and Al're using hardware / software wise, cos it sounds great.
Hope the album does really well for ya. All the best,
Leigh Griffiths

Just listening to the CD - I've been running the gamut of emotion from reckless rock n' roll abandon to tears streaming down my cheeks due to Robin's touching rendition of "Beth"....
John Dryland (Cargo Records)

 The recorder on the start of the elder....I'm still laughing after the 8th listen!!!....dark light!!! F*cking Genius. Great album....has Simmons got a copy??
Leigh Marklew (Terrorvision / Malibu Stacey)

Those two Kiss mp3's on your site are the two best mp3's on the web today. I will be ordering 2 copies of the CD soon I can't wait to hear the full disc.
Charles Fortin

Hey guys just had to write you after listening to your CD's.  I waited a couple of weeks to order your CD's until the KISS tribute came out and the PayPal was online and boy was it worth it.  I received 3 CD's on Saturday listened to all 3, and absolutely enjoyed every minute of it.  You have a sound that I haven't heard in very many bands that is just plain fun.  You can tell you are playing for the love of it, and having a good time while doing it.  I hope you continue playing and making CD's for many years to come, I know I'll buy them, and if you ever tour the States I'll come see you in the Chicago-land area for sure.  Thanks again, and keep strummin' along.
Rob

Congratulations on the Kiss in sheep make up... CD. Being a musician and a long-time kiss-fan, I really can appreciate the album... I'm not really into the kind of funny BETH-raping stuff...BUT... The elder, I still love you, legend tonight... JEEZES KRAIST!!! This is what I've been waiting to hear a band do with covers... Creating a totally original song...Deuce... AWESOME... I enjoy every minute of it... In fact, I should mention EVERY track...Keep up the good work and... up to volume two?
Marnik "Ace" Bellecoste (Ace and the Jokers Tribute band)

Just listened to the CD- man, it is crazy!!!! Haha! You are guys are mad but have obviously put a LOT of work into it and had LOTS of fun making it!!
Gary Banton ("Gene" in Kiss Tribute "Dressed to Kill")

This tribute CD landed on my doormat this morning and let me tell you its one weird kettle of fish.
This really is a weird mix of KISS songs done in many different styles.
I've listened to it twice and its already growing on me. Some of the arrangements are very cool and if you listen with an open mind its very enjoyable. Well worth the money I spent on it. The Elder medley is especially good fun, but my fave track at the moment although its bound to change is Love Her All I Can......it sounds weird and wonderful.
Damn I used the word weird three times in one post!!!!!!
Keith

I heard the new album at the weekend, it sounds excellent.  I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to kiss arse over this one because I don't know much of the original material, but you know what?  I can kiss arse over this one  - brace yourself. 
I loved the Elder medley especially.  And Beth was really funny, twice.  Great Expectations is brill.  Shout it out loud is either like a rock kids tv theme or a metal "Band Aid", can't decide.
I hope they are flying out of the door!
James Jirgens (Pillow Talk)

Robin Guy's version of Beth is the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life. I can just about listen to it now without p*ssing myself, but it has taken a lot of conti-pads to get to this stage. Good work!!
CR

Digging the CD. You're right, keep hearing new things with each listen. I love medleys, so this CD is perfect for me!
Ken Rodenas (Kiss Picks and Stciks website)

Who are you guys and how did you escape? Not quite the Kiss I once knew and loved but brilliant nonetheless. More Zappa / Beefheart than Simmons and gang.
It's about time we had a new Kiss/Zappa or Beefheart - is it you guys?
Beth is pretty tasty by the way, but some of the other stuff is well funky. Kiss meets Bootsy????
Fin Costello (Kiss photographer)

I am sorry I have not written this sooner, but I do want to tell you how much I enjoyed Sheep In Kiss Make-up. You guys did a great job. Some of it is hilarious and the covers on some songs amazing (The Elder rocks!). Of course I am a long time KISS fan and think "Love Her All I Can" was a great song their way, but to be honest I think your version IS A HIT SONG! The crafty use of other KISS lyrics behind I Still Love You work's so well, I find myself listening to it (and the whole disk) over and over. Thank you and the rest of Sack Trick  for putting a new spin on some old favorites. Time for me to get some more Sack Trick! 
Jimi 

Just want to say thanks, best tenner I have spent in ages. I nearly crashed my car I was laughing so hard at War Machine - and the recorders on The Elder is such a great touch. Thing is there are some great toons on their as well as the funny stuff. Really well put together.
Martin Curtis

What can I say? Absolutely bloody inspired stuff. I haven't enjoyed a new Kiss album so much since "Creatures of the Night"!!!
You must have had such a giggle putting it all together - I've been sniggering to myself all day about your "Elder" pastiche.Thanks for making me smile, lads - brilliant...of course, I'd have multi-layered more recorders for "Fanfare".....!
Ian Danter ("Peter" in Kiss Tribute "Hotter Than Hell")

You are quite clearly bonkers animals, as is your CD... good work!!!  It has already been the soundtrack to one drunken and debauched evening, and I am now bemusing and befuddling work colleagues with the '...cuddly' t-shirt...

Vincent (my crazy cat) appears to love the album, although didn't seem to want his face painting... I did attempt to explain the error of his ways, but he bit me, so I think he may still need a little more persuading... damned animal! Roll on the Tour...

I'm in Australia and was listening to you on the Bruce Dickinson show on the internet earlier. Loved it! Especially the Cornish fisherman's version of War Machine as I'm originally from that part of the world.
Matt

Thanks Chris. I heard that "Elder Medley" at a friend's house at the weekend and was sold. Pure genius!
A

Got it, played it loved it!! The funkadelic version of "all hell's" is genius....
Nick
 
CD came this morning thanks. Been a KISS fan since 1979 and naturally buy all the tribute albums too.
Been playing it all day and it is by far the most bonkers tribute album I have ever heard.......and I LOVE IT ! It is on constant play in my car at the moment. I would love to see Sack Trick live after listening to this album. Guess I'll have to wait for a full blown tour ;)
Dave

I've had your 'Sheep' CD on in my car on the way to and from college tonight and I'll be hard pushed from now on to find anything that rocks harder. Thank you for forming Sack trick and thank you for loving Kiss enough to make the album! Although slap on the wrist for the hidden last scary bit on track 20.... I forgot my CD player was still on and nearly crashed my car from fright!
Jenna

Let's face it. KISS is an horrendous marketing machine that released some of the worst records of the 80s. However, my copy of Sack Trick's "Sheep in KISS Make Up" arrived in the post yesterday and it's both brilliant and hilarious at the same time. If you have no idea about Kiss' music between 1973 and 1982 then this CD will still make you chortle and there's a couple of straight ahead great cover versions on it, but add childhood memories of buying KISS LPs and listening to them endlessly and this CD will make you weep with laughter at times whilst at others remind you that they did actually have a bunch of really great songs.

You get "War Machine" sung in a West Country accent..."Ahm gonner vindercate the hewman race oo aarrr!", an appropriately greasy taverna version of "I'm A Legend Tonight" and the finest moment, an eleven minute track called "The Elder" which is basically one song containing elements of every track from KISS' magnificent 1981 flop medieval fantasy concept album. Those of you that know that record and remember the medieval trumpet fanfare which opened the album will appreciate the rendition Sack Trick provide here...with recorders...pretty badly played recorders. Hilarious. At the same time, these guys can really play and it's not all piss take (though about 90% of it is)...and if you look back on KISS with both affection and humour, you NEED this CD.
Aidan

I think your version of Love Her All I Can could be a massive it on mainstream radio and clubs! The CD is so good!!! The most entertaining thing I've heard in ages. I love the versions you've done. A million times better than so many of the boring tribute CDs you see these days. It'll take a long time before I grow bored of this CD. One my favorite KISS albums is the Elder so it's totally cool you covered those tracks too. Love the end of the CD with all the different snippets of tracks. Totally excellent!!! Gonna play it for my mates here and tell them to order some copies!
