Kiss of the Gypsy is an English rock band, formed by Tony Mitchell, Darren Rice, George Williams, Scott Elliott and Martin Talbot in Fleetwood, Lancashire in 1990.
In 2010, he joined as lead guitarist and vocalist with well-known Blackpool and Fylde Coast local band The Blue Pig Orchestra.
In 2004, Mitchell formed the XGypsy music production company with his wife Dawn, intended as a direct continuation of Kiss of the Gypsy and, since then, he has run his own recording studio and written for numerous bands and artists, as well as soundtracks for TV/film and media, specialising in the horror/goth genre.
In 2011, under the pseudonym Syd Zilla, Mitchell joined forces with fellow Fleetwood musicians: Dunk Rock, vocalist with UFX, with whom Mitchell had previously collaborated in Gothic Metal band, Puppet Master, and bassist Andy Wilkinson and drummer Tommy Couch, the rhythm section of the punk rock group One Way System, to form psychobilly band, Boneyard Zombies, to an excited press response.
The band also played the single live on TV on ITV's James Whale Show,[6] and were featured in Kerrang!
