There’s been lots of panic about how two years of interrupted schooling will impact young people. However when Nina asks her brother what’s getting him through the HSC, she gets a pretty strange answer. It’s KISS. The 1970s hair metal mega group. Yes, Gene and the boys. 

This episode considers the current crisis, but also how a band like KISS can help get young people, and all people, through tough times. We start with Nina and her brother, and also Musicologist Dr Adrian Renzo, who talks us through why young people today might be getting inspired by a heritage act like KISS. We also talk to award winning musician, writer and performer iOTA who explains why KISS has been a lifelong personal and professional ‘guiding light’. Oooh Yeah!

This is series about the sounds of lockdown - the sounds we can hear, the sounds we miss, the sounds that are new and the sounds that are old. Each episode features people in lockdown considering the sounds around them - including the sounds that they want to come back, and maybe some they don't. Made by Nina Longfellow (producer, writer, editor) and Liz Giuffre (exec producer) - recorded and created on Aboriginal land, land that was never ceded.
