Kiss of Reality was founded in Berlin, Germany in 1991 by David Pittaway.  
English Guitar Master Robert Fripp brought his wife Toyah Wilcox to KoRs second English performance and approached David after the show. Robert told David "Very powerful energetic music and I think female vocals would balance that out, and my wife's interested"  
Toyah soon after joining the band in 1992, moved into our small apartment in Berlin and put her amazing deeply poetic lyrics and vocals to the repertoire. KoR recorded their self-titled album in 1993.
