soon after leaving kiss, kulick formed the band union with john corabi, brent fitz, and jamie hunting in 1996. corabi and kulick wrote what would become the first album, the self-titled "union", which was released in 1998. they proceeded with a nationwide acoustic tour to promote the album, featuring just corabi and kulick (both on guitar). soon the full band went on a world tour headlining small venues in support of the album. their second album 1999's "live in the galaxy", was a live recording with two acoustic tracks recorded in a mobile studio. the third and final union album, "the blue room" (2000), was a more polished sound than the first studio cd. union never officially called it quits (playing live shows every so often with guest drummers and bass players), but with kulick playing along with grand funk railroad, corabi playing with many bands, most notably ratt, and both members being tied up in solo projects, union has been on a long-term hiatus.
