[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!

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.

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

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

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.

Fanfire Speak

This is a statement direct from Fanfire who are running the ticket packages. "Update Information : January 19, 2005" A VERY LIMITED PORTION of all tickets in the front 20 rows (only approximately 200 tickets) are available through AliceCooper.com. No entire row has been reserved for the package opportunities, ensuring that tickets in all rows be available not only through AliceCooper.com, but also through other ticket outlets and without the premium add-ons. Premium tickets have NOT taken the entire first two rows for the Platinum packages.Many other tickets are available without paying a premium. Effort has been taken to put together a special evening including awesome seats, exclusive merchandise, autographs, a meet and greet, and a photo. More than just a ticket -- a night that will never be forgotten.

UK Tickets: A Statement

Since 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

Monster Dog DVD

[link=http://musicvideodistributors.com/customer/product.php?productid=234350&cat=&page=1][/link] As reported earlier 'Monster Dog', staring Alice Cooper is to finally see a DVD release in the US on Feb. 15th through Video Music Distribution. Click the link to get it direct from the distributers and see a pic of the new cover design.

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.
