Background:

Dave Gilbert's late '70s Kiss tribute band once got a (friendly, but firm) cease and desist letter from Kiss mainman Gene Simmons. Guitarist Gilbert went on to play with Big Toe, whose bassist Mark Goffeney was born without arms and plays with his feet. They appeared as contestants on the TV show Star Tomorrow in 2006.

Gilbert has also played with Claire Monsters, and with West Coast Iron Works, one of the longest continuously-operating rock band in San Diego, having formed in the mid-1960s.
