Kiss Performs, but Gene and Paul Perform

Here we go with subject/verb agreement again. The caption for a photo of Kiss performing at the Quilmes Rock 2009 Festival read as follows:



Gene Simmons, left, and Paul Stanley of Kiss performs at the Quilmes Rock 2009 Festival Sunday in Buenos Aires.



If this caption had read "Kiss Performs at the Quilmes Rock 2009 Festival," it would have been fine. Kiss is ONE group, so the verb would end in "s." BUT the subject of this sentence is not "Kiss." It is Gene Simmons AND Paul Stanley (two people), so the verb should not end in "s." The caption should read as follows:



Gene Simmons, left, and Paul Stanley of Kiss perform at the Quilmes Rock 2009 Festival Sunday in Buenos Aires.

Rock on!
