2012, Union was formed in 1997 when ex-Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick, ex-Moley Crue vocalist and guitarist John Corabi, bassist James Hunting, and drummer Brent Fitz united to form a band. Kulick left Kiss after they decided to go back to their original lineup, and Corabi left Motley Crue under similar circumstances. Union released two studio albums and a live album. In 1998 a grass root effort, ´The Union Work Force`, spread out across the U.S. as the band toured small clubs from coast to coast. Kulick and Corabi took this a step further by performing at many of the Kiss Expo's doing acoustic versions of their songs. On a few occasions, Fitz and Hunting were able to join them. The new millennium dawned on Union's second studio CD, THE BLUE ROOM, produced by Bob Marlette. By the end of 2000, one by one the band members began to get involved in other individual musical projects.
