Sid's Sexy House of Doom 

European Tour Dates

The first couple of Mainland Europe shows have appeared for Finland and Denmark in August with many more to follow I'm sure. All dates will be added to the tour dates area (look right) as soon as I hear about them. If you find any dates in your area/country please let me know as it's impossible for me to watch every possible festival and venue site in Europe so may miss things appearing.

'Rock School'

A couple of reports have appeared about Alice's appearance at the Sundance Film Festival at the 'Rock School' Launch party. He performed 'School's Out' of course. The one with the most AC content is Newsday.com

Tommy Clufetos Exclusive!

[link=http://www.alicecoopertrivia.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/interviews/tommyclufetos_jan_05.php] [/link]In the latest of our occasional interviews with Alice Cooper musicians, SickthingsUK (Devon and I) have been granted an email chat with current Alice Cooper Drummer and all round cool guy Tommy Clufetos and you can read the results here. It's a very cool chat in which Tommy comments on working with Alice, working with Ted Nugent, and why he's called 'Tommy The Torso!!' Hopefully more exclusive chats are on the way!

Dirty Diamonds??

Last night on his radio show Alice announced the the title for the new album would be "Dirty Diamonds". Of course he could change his mind before it's actually released so I'd suggest considering this a 'working title' for the moment. He also mentioned that the forthcoming tour would take in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, North America, possibly South America, Iceland and even Monte Carlo at some posh casino with a dress code!! (thanks Psychopat)

Alice's Driving Tips

[link=http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/scottsdale/articles/0205sr-pvcommercial05Z8.html] AZCentral[/link] has a article about how spent part of his birthday on Friday promoting online vehicle registration and urging drivers not to run red lights. He filmed a TV spot to be aired on local TV.

Short Alice Mention

Pioneer Press has a short piece in which Alice confirms the title of the new album and appears to suggest it will be out in June. The mention the info is part pf another article at the Miami Herald but actually simply quote most of it. Also the mention Jon Bon Jovi being there but I think this is in error as it was actually Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres that organised the event.

Dutch Magazine

Thanks To Steef for spotting that there`s a page on Alice in Dutch magazine "Hebbez!". Alice is mentioned on the cover (with pic) and has a one page article with a couple of Eyes promo pics. It's the February 2005 issue you want.

Unoffical Sickthings Meetup

There is already talk about where to meet up before the shows on the new UK tour, including the suggestion of one big meet up, so how would you like a (dis)organised UNOFFICIAL Sickthings meetup at a private function room on the afternoon of the show? There would be food, drink, music, possibly film, kareoke, a quiz and maybe even a surprise or two (NOT Alice). It would involve a small cover charge to help pay for the room hire but if enough people are interested this would hopefully be kept to a few pounds (no prices or quotes are available yet). At the moment we are looking at ONLY Wembley (6th Nov.) OR Birmingham (9th Nov.) as these are the shows that logistically would be the easiest to do for the organisers. If this type of informal event would interest you then send an email to [link=mailto:meetup@sickthingsuk.co.uk]meetup@sickthingsuk.co.uk[/link] simply stating your prefered venue, Wembley or Birmingham. You will be under no obligation by replying. This is simply a fact finding thing to see whether there is enough interest to make it work. (NOTE: You will not get a reply as we are simply collecting numbers for the moment, however if the plan goes further you will be contacted at a later date. Emails come directly to me so you will NOT get spam or added to any mailing lists.) Please only email if you are genuinely interested in such an event and would be able to attend. Can I repeat this is just an idea at present (may never happen) and a private unofficial fan gathering. Alice Cooper, the band, management and promotors are NOT involved.

Prince Of Darkness on TV

Prince of Darkness is on Movie Central's 'Shadow Lane' tommorow at 10:30 am and 10:15 pm. 'Shadow Lane' is one of the "extra" paid package channels, here but it's not "Pay per view". The times are Pacific. It's also on a few times more in January and February according to the Movie Central site. (thanks Zoogirl)

Cardiff Press

Very short announcement of the Cardiff show has appeared at ICWales site. No new info but thought I'd mention it as it's the first general press for the tour I've seen.
