In Welcome to my Nightmare, we are playing at the Webster Theater in Hartford, CT on May 11th. The band consists of our guitarist, Karl, our bass player, Forrest, our keyboard player Larry, our drummer Gordon, and of course, our Alice.
The stage, as always, is fully decorated with our Alices’ toys and various props thrown around the stage. The Webster’s stage is large enough to really do it up!

For Killer at BB Kings in NYC, our Alice is actually in handcuffs. The clowns eventually put him in a body bag, from there into a coffin where they proceed to put swords through the coffin into our Alice. This is just one of our executions we use to kill our Alice.

In No More Mr. Nice Guy, our Alice plays with his toys onstage, just to show that he’s no Mr. Nice Guy. In this song one of the guests in the audience actually grabbed his axe with the baby on it. Our Alice didn’t know what to do, eventually after some coaxing by our Alice, she gave back the axe, but kept the baby as a souvenir.

In Go to Hell , we had a special guest, who could swing things from his ears. In this particular segment, he chose to swing our spotlights that weighted about 20 lbs apiece from his ears. As you can hear from the audiences’ reaction, some were appalled, others amazed.
In the Black Widow, our special guests were a big albino python with its trainer and a tattooed dancer. The snake was a big hit.

In Billion Dollar Babies, our Alice litters the stage with babies from his toybox. They go flying through the air as he tosses them out all over. He then chooses which ones he wants to play with and does. The clowns are left to clean up the mess he makes with them, being careful to stay out of his way.

In Pick up the Bones we are at the Chance Theater in NY opening for Dennis Dunaway, the original bass player from the Alice Cooper Group, and his new band, the Dennis Dunaway Project. This song is one of my favorites, it is so eerie, especially with the fog, and the bag of bones our Alice carries around. Calmly picking up any bones he finds on the stage, and putting them in his “Bag of Bones”.
Eighteen is performed here on Halloween Night at the Fairfield Theatre, with Richie Scarlet, playing guitar for Alices Nightmare that night. What an excellent show! We decorated the whole theater from when you enter to the stage, it looked great! Such a fun way to spend Halloween night, playing Alice Cooper, the king of shock rock himself!
The Department of Youth starts with the beginning of Phantom of the Opera, then goes into Department of Youth. Our Alice starts off dressed as a psycho and slit’s a young girls throat while she is out walking, then slams into singing Department of Youth. The band members are Mark and Larry, our guitarists, Forrest, our bass player, Larry on keyboards, and Gordon on drums.
