#706 - Brian Galvin of the KISS Coffeehouse

The Brian Galvin Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.

This is an interview from the archives that’s fairly atypical, really. Paul was invited to the Grand Opening of the KISS Coffeehouse in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Yes, you heard that right. KISS Coffeehouse, and we mean KISS as in, the rock band. The KISS Coffeehouse was open from 2006 to 2013 and was officially licensed by the band KISS. You should see pictures of the place. So, that day Paul got in his trusty pickup truck and headed to Myrtle Beach with his traveling confederate and dear friend Jeff Pike. They were going to be able to ask and record some questions of Gene Simmons of KISS and Paul Stanley of KISS as well as the Creator of the KISS Coffeehouse, Brian Galvin. You’ll be meeting Brian in just a moment. Really a charming guy.

There’s a lot of details to this tale, and maybe Paul will tell us one of these days. Long story short, Paul never got to interview Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. Let’s just say that a maniacal, unbalanced individual in an 18-wheeler had something to do with their delay. Paul and his pal Jeff Pike are grateful that they escaped with their lives. The pickup truck got them to Myrtle Beach, but there was some considerable damage. At the end of the night, there was Paul and Jeff: grateful to still have your feet on the ground and breathing air. Upon returning to Atlanta they were able to setup a phone interview with Brian Galvin of the KISS Coffeehouse. We have it for your listening pleasure and for historical research purposes, of course.
