UK Tickets: A StatementSince yesterday morning there has been an incredible amount of ill feeling towards the organisers of the forthcoming UK (and by extention Australian, European and North American) tour from the online Alice Cooper community on the mailing list, the message board and also through private emails we have recieved here. In response to this the owner and contributers to this site have felt the need to issue the following statement on our position in this matter. We do not expect that the promotors will take any notice of it, however we believe something has to be said. Read it here New InterviewThere's a new golf related interview appeared at the Ottawa Sun conducted at the PGA Merchandise Show. European Tour DatesThe 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 Unoffical Sickthings MeetupThere 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. 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 Guests and Short ReviewAlice guested onstage with an all-star band in Boca Raton, Palm Beach FL. last night. The band and show was put together by Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres and also featured Steven Van Zandt and Bobby Dall. The show was the launch party for the Celebrity Golf Tournament the following day in aid of "Children's Safe at Home". ALSO: PGA.com has a short mention of the show Alice did a few days ago. Full 90 minute set it appears. Not many details though. And Finally... This years Annual Alice Cooper Golf Tournament has been confirmed for May 1st-3rd this year. It will be the ninth year of the tournament. Check out AliceGolf.com for past details and meet Cap'n Cooper!! Short InterviewThere's a few words from Alice appeared at Detriot News, again related to the PGA Golf Merchandise show. Could it be True???After a year of the "Nights With Alice Coooper" radio show being on the air but not on the net, is it possible we poor souls outside of transmission areas will be able to hear the show online? Well, I could be speaking too soon but it appears so. A report in the Chronicle Journal indicates that the show will be aired from this monday on Hot105: The Giant in Thunder Bay, which has just changed it format to Classic Rock and is to air the show every weekday evening!! What's even better is that after a bit of searching it appears the station has a new website and, low and behold, they have an online feed!! Now it could be wishful thinking but this could be the news many have been waiting for! We'll know when the station goes fully to its new format on monday. Dutch MagazineThanks 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.
