June 2nd, 2009 BuFest was a success! We signed up 14 kids for our next rehearsal workshop, handed out over 100 cards and brochures, and made a TON of new friends and fans. Every kid we met made a promise to never do drugs and a few of them were lucky enough to walk away with a FREE Super Star or Rock Star shirt. What a GREAT couple of days to be sober! Video of the event to be posted soon! May 31st, 2009
KISS Guitar Fetches $1,200 For Women's Charity The guitar, autographed by all 4 original KISS members, helped the Women At Risk charity recently raise $1,200 at a charity run fundraiser. "It was my brother's prized possession and surely must have been difficult to part with," said Super Star. "I am immensely proud of him." Rock Star jokingly says, "Shut up, Supo!" "In complete honesty, these boys are so wonderful to have donated such a great piece of rock history," says Carmen from the Woman At Risk foundation. "I'm a fan for life!" May 27th, 2009

Making
Sobriety Cool One Note at a Time
(Hollywood, CA) The healing effect music has on us is undeniable, but
the same music in the hands of a rock legend in the making is very
powerful stuff indeed. Thanks to the media, we have kids turning to
drugs and alcohol at startlingly younger ages each year. Super Star
(Kris Kancler) is using his name and the power of music to help kids
achieve their dreams and to stay sober through his organization We Are
One.
We Are One is a non-profit organization; launched by Super Star and his
brother Rock Star (Marc Kancler) to give teens who are recovering
addicts a safe place away from negative influence. Though this Super
Star provides kids aged 15 to 19 with mentorship and the gift of hope.
Super Star’s active involvement in We Are One relates to his own story,
where he found himself in the same place that these kids now find
themselves, trying to recover from addiction. Giving these kids a sense
of purpose and belonging would be an important first step, but realizing
that if he could offer them the tools to help make their dreams a
reality, they would have something much more powerful to keep them
sober. With this in mind, Super Star so generously gives of his time,
teaching group music workshops and providing individual guitar lessons.
There he gets to spend time with them jamming, discussing music and
letting them know someone cares about what they’re going through.
One of the most exciting aspects of this organization is a new project
that Super Star is working on with the teens. They’re currently
recording a professional CD which will feature the kids playing one of
Rock Star’s original songs!
For Super Star music has been an important part of his recovery and
therapy; as he sees the positive impact it’s making in the lives of the
kids who reach out to him. He realizes that through bettering the lives
of others, and sharing his gift, is the best way we can better
ourselves. Their website is a valuable resource, and a great to help
recovering teens

BENEDICTUM
singer Veronica Freeman has been added to the line-up of Serenity, the
album from rock-n-roll royalty, twin bros Rock Star and Super Star.
As previously reported, the album features the following guest appearances: Cherie Curry (Runaways), Stevie Rachelle, (TUFF), George Lynch (DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB), Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA), Carlos Cavazo (QUIET RIOT, RATT), Mark Slaughter (SLAUGHTER), Zak Stevens (SAVATAGE, CIRCLE II CIRCLE), Jon Oliva (SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA) and Bruce Kulick (KISS, UNION) An excerpt from a press release reads as follows: Serenity is as screamin' as it is serene, and the endgame is a revolutionary record that weaves a tapestry of top-notch tunes as melodious as they are memorable! But perhaps most impressive is that these bad boys are all good! Super socially aware, Rock Star and Super Star have always had a hand in reshaping the world through their art. Spinning their music in an effort to raise awareness with their exceedingly personal non-profit organization, We Are One (www.weareoneonline.com), which aims to support kids recovering from drug addition. The brothers are once again utilizing their music to inspire, and tapping into the transformational power of it - to literally change lives. So keep your hearts, eyes and ears open wide for some serious serenity!

Met with Mark Slaughter today. Wow, did we pick the right person for the job on our forthcoming CD. This guy has been outspoken from the very beginning about how awful drugs can be to oneself. He will be singing three tracks on our CD and will represent Rock Star’s character. His attitude and commitment, AND ideas to help promote our CD are very inspiring. So glad we have him on board!

We are working on what it is that will be the “first of its kind” approach to getting the message to kids about the harmful effects of drugs. So excited about this. We are meeting with someone Tuesday that will help us turn this thought into reality. In the meantime, we have been contacting some schools and soliciting them for some time in their classrooms for us to hold some seminars and are finalizing some dates on a few that have said yes. Will post those dates as they have been more solidified.

Oh my goodness. I had an epiphany on the plane last night. We are going to do something so magical and so unique for our We Are One project that it will blow your minds! Never been done before. Stay tuned! Sometimes I wonder how I come up with this stuff. That what happens when you are sober. You’re focused and can expend all that energy and creativity that you would have normally used on getting your fix, and apply it elsewhere and in a more productive means…. By the way, I do read all your emails and am appreciate for all Rock Star and Super Star-it's all in a name
Two brothers legally
changed their names to monikers to provide some extra "oomph" to their
marketing campaign for their new project.
