Though “scorned” by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley and relatively “silent” for a handful of years, legendary axeman Ace Frehley has finally released a solo record entitled Space Invader, which cleverly stays with his character portrayal as “Spaceman” while in Kiss. Frehley handles the vocals, guitars, and bass on this album, while Matt Starr (Beautiful Creatures) works the drum kit. Space Invader, like all works Ace has been involved in, contains “simple” Hard Rock — the lyrics are often odd, almost Lou Reed-ish at times, but nonetheless all tracks (sans “The Joker” cover) are charmingly enjoyable in their own way.

Based out of Indianapolis, USA he was first turned on to Hard Rock music in the mid-1970s when he purchased Deep Purple's Machine Head as his first album. He was immediately enthralled with the powerful guitar sound and pronounced drumbeat, and had to get more! His collection quickly expanded to include as many of Heavy Rock bands of the time that he could get his hands on, such as Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
