Recorded in a marathon one-day session at Soma in 2000, this all-star cover of Kiss' wish fulfillment fantasy was originally intended for inclusion on the soundtrack to Jessica Everleth's film PLASTER CASTER. History has not recorded why it wasn’t used then, but the world is finally ready.
For this session The Aluminum Group expanded like a supernova, incorporating The Dishes as well as Andrew Bird, Kathryn Frazier, Rebecca Gates, Douglas McCombs, John McEntire, Marydee Reynolds, and Sally Timms — all for the love of Cynthia.
All proceeds from the download of this song will benefit Girls Rock! Chicago (
girlsrockchicago.org), building socially just community with girls, transgender youth, and gender expansive youth by developing leadership, fostering self-esteem, and encouraging creative expression through music.
