With its two replacement members performing in makeup, Kiss will return to Target Center Nov. 7 as part of its "Alive 35 Tour." Ticket information has not yet been announced.

The 39-city trek with openers Buckcherry will feature Kiss' landmark 1974 concert album "Alive" played in its entirety.

It will also hype the quartet's new studio album, "Sonic Boom," on sale exclusively at Wal-Mart starting Oct. 6 with 11 new songs, a live DVD plus a "re-recording" of the band's greatest hits played by the new lineup.

Original members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss quit the band (again) in 2002 and 2004, respectively, leaving former guitar tech Tommy Thayer and makeup-less era drummer Eric Singer to fill their boots alongside Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.
