"The heavy metal band Kiss on Wednesday took off their trademark makeup to open their first cafe in a bid to rival Starbucks.

"The official opening of the Kiss Coffeehouse in the South Carolina resort of Myrtle Beach, selling drinks with loud names such as Kiss Frozen Rockuccino, French Kiss Vanilla and Demon Dark Roast.
