Founding KISS guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame member ACE FREHLEY has released the music video for “Rockin’ With The Boys” filmed Live in Detroit Rock City. This is the first music video we’ve seen from The Spaceman since he released the video for “Fire and Water”.

This is the second song Frehley has released this year, from his forthcoming all-new Spaceman album, due October 19, 2018, via eOne/SPV. Ace Frehley previously released the track “Bronx Boy” in April.
Spaceman, Ace Frehley’s eighth solo LP, features nine new original tracks, plus a cover of Eddie Money’s “I Wanna Go Back,” a ripping power pop makeover of the original.
“No need to worry, I’ll be home soon, ’cause I’m rockin’ with the boys,” Ace Frehley sings on “Rockin’ With the Boys,” which tells the tale of life on the road. Ace says he wrote the original version of the song back in KISS’s heyday in the ’70s. Both “Rockin With The Boys” and “Bronx Boy” are available on all streaming platforms today, and are iTunes instant grat tracks for fans who preorder the album.
In addition to Ace’s distinctive guitar sound on each track, Ace Frehley played bass on all of the songs on Spaceman except for two. The listener might recognize the mighty dinosaur growl of a bass tone belonging to Gene Simmons on the album opener, “Without You I’m Nothing,” which Gene also co-wrote, and “Your Wish Is My Command.” Both songs were recorded at Ace Frehley’s home studio in Rancho Santa Fe, California.
Ace Frehley’s reconnection with Simmons and fellow KISS vocalist-guitarist Paul Stanley (who joined Ace on a cover of Free’s “Fire and Water” for 2016’s covers LP Origins, Vol. 1) might be chalked up to the fact that Ace Frehley has been sober for more than a decade (he celebrates 12 years of sobriety in September).
Ace’s clean living no doubt has a lot to do with his productive streak, which began with the release of his Anomaly album in 2009.
Spaceman (a title suggested by Simmons, himself) serves as the first collection of all new Ace Frehley-penned material since 2014’s Space Invader.
Widely known as the original “Space Ace” and founding guitarist for 16 cumulative years (over 2 tenures) of the multi-platinum selling rock band KISS, Ace Frehley is demonstrably the most popular original member. In addition to having the best-selling solo album career (vintage or current) among the original foursome, Frehley’s self-titled Ace Frehley, released in 1978, went on to sell over one million copies, producing the only Top 40 single, “New York Groove,” from any of the legendary KISS solo albums (peaking at #13).
Spaceman will be released through Entertainment One (eOne)/SPV with an exclusive European cover artwork on October 19th, 2018 as CD DigiPak and LP version: HERE
