Marco Mendoza of The Dead Daisies has turned Noise11.com reporter for an online peak at the Kiss Kruise currently floating around the Caribbean.

The former Thin Lizzy bass player put down his guitar (and Pina Colada) and picked up a microphone to chat with Jon Stevens, David Lowy and Richard Fortus about the Norwegian ocean liner Norwegian Pearl.

The Dead Daisies are the special guests of Kiss on the Kruise along with Cheap Trick, the Pat Travers Band and Kiss covers band Priss.

After the Kiss Kruise, The Dead Daisies will head to New Zealand for shows with Jimmy Barnes and then perform their own pub tour of Australia. This will be the first Australian shows for The Dead Daisies with new drummer Brian Tichy of Whitesnake.
