Kashmir is a collection of experienced musicians who have come together to musically salute one of the greatest rock and roll acts of all time, Led Zeppelin.

Mr. Speed has made their mark in KISStory for the last 16 years by bringing the music, hair and make-up of KISS to fans all over the Midwest. With full KISS costumes, Marshall Stacks, a 10-piece Pearl drum set and signature model guitars of KISS themselves, Mr. Speed has kept the classics of KISS alive by bridging the gap from the fans of the '70s to the new legions of the KISS army.
