Sid's Sexy House of Doom 

US Tour

No specific show dates I'm afraid however Celebrity Access has a small item advertising the availability of a touring package featuring Alice Cooper and Cheap Trick between Aug. 19th and Oct. 1st. Quote: Alice Cooper: Packaged with Cheap Trick. The show will feature full sets from both artists and a special mini set with Cheap Trick backing Alice. The fee for the package is a minimum of $100,000 inclusive of production. We are open to playing arenas, sheds, theaters, minor league ballparks, fairs, festivals and private events within this time period. Sounds like a great bill to me!!

Alice Cancels Appearance

A few weeks ago it was reported that Alice Cooper and his wife Sheryl would be appearing as guest this month at a "Power Couples" luncheon organised by Pro Choice group WISH. This has been canceled after they were informed of the groups agenda which doesn't agree with the Coopers views. You can read a little about it here

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.

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.

Dali in Philly

PhillyBurbs.com report that a Dali exibition will be opening at the Philadelphia Museum of Art this wednesday and one of the featured exhibits will be the 'First Cylindric Chronohologram Portrait of Alice Cooper's Brain', The hologram Dali created featuring Alice. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. More info here

Alice in Gaiman Book

[link=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1560976179/sickthingsuk-21][/link]This one I almost missed, but thanks to ProvidencePhoenix.com here it is. 'Hanging Out with the Dream King: Conversations with Neil Gaiman and His Collaborators' By Joseph McCabe is a book about comics legend and Alice Cooper collaborator Neil Gaimen and apparently features an interview with Alice (plus presumably some background info) about "The Last Temptation" comic book. It's out now and available from Amazon.co.uk. I've not seen a copy yet so can't varify how much Alice content there may be.

No More Dirty Diamonds?

According to Alice on his radio show the album is now NOT called 'Dirty Diamonds.' That will bethe album after this one. As of now, the new album is untitled. Also Alice is still in LA recording. (Thanks Psychopat)

Classic Rock

This months Classic Rock magazine has a small pic of Alice and a tour dates listing plus the first advert I`ve seen for the tour taking up half a page. Unfortunatly it doesn`t give many clues as to what sort of show we'll be getting, although it still features the 'Eyes..' logo.

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)
