2016 “Spend the Night” Tour date - May 21st,
2016
RAMA, ON
– Alice
Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was
designed to shock.
Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and
garage rock, the group created
a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and
boa constrictors.
He continues to tour regularly, performing shows
worldwide with the dark and horror-themed theatrics that he’s best known
for. His latest tour titled “Spend the Night”
includes a performance at the award-wining Casino Rama Resort
Entertainment Centre on
Saturday, May 21st at 8pm.

ABOUT ALICE COOPER:
Cooper
was born in Detroit Michigan, and moved to Phoenix with his family. The
Alice Cooper band formed
while they were all in high school in Phoenix, and were discovered in
1969 by Frank Zappa in Los Angeles, where he signed them to his record
label. Their collaboration with young record producer Bob Ezrin led to
the break-through third album “Love It to Death”
which hit the charts in 1971, followed by “Killer,” “School’s Out,”
”Billion Dollar Babies,” and “Muscle of Love.”
Alice’s
solo career skyrocketed in the late 1970′s, with a succession of hit
singles, including “You
& Me,” and classic albums, including “Lace And Whiskey” and “From
The Inside,” and bigger and even more elaborate concert tours.
In
the ‘80’s Cooper explored different sounds, highlighted by the new
wavish album “Flush The Fashion,” the heavy metal “Constrictor” and
“Raise Your Fist And Yell,” and then 1989’s
melodic hard rock album “Trash,” which featured the massive hit single
“Poison” and became his biggest selling album and single worldwide.
During this period Alice also appeared in the horror films
Monster Dog
and John Carpenter’s
Prince of Darkness, and recorded songs for the soundtracks to
Roadie, Class of 1984, Friday the 13 Part VI: Jason Lives
and Wes Craven’s
Shocker.
Cooper’s most memorable movie appearance was as himself in
Wayne’s World
in 1991. He also played (fittingly)
Freddy Krueger’s wicked step-father in
Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare,
and appeared on Gene Wilder’s TV series
Something Wilder
as well as on
That ‘70’s Show.
The 90’s also saw the release of the albums “Hey Stoopid,” “The Last Temptation,” and “Fistful of Alice,” a live album.
In
the new millennium, Cooper has been very productive and busy, writing,
recording and releasing the albums “Brutal Planet,” “Dragon Town,” “The
Eyes of Alice Cooper,” “Dirty Diamonds,”
“Along Came a Spider,” and 2011′s “Welcome 2 My Nightmare,” plus “Old
School 1964-1974,” a box set celebrating the original band.
He
also wrote and published a memoir, “Golf Monster,” in 2007, which
tracked his life from childhood to rock stardom, and his journey from
alcoholic to golf addict, and was featured
in the Tim Burton film “Dark Shadows” in 2012.
Alice, Dennis, Neal, Michael, and Glen (posthumously) were inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in March, 2011.
With
his influence on rock & roll long since acknowledged, there is
little that Alice Cooper hasn’t achieved in his remarkable career,
including platinum albums, sold-out tours and
any number of honors and career achievement awards.
As
he heads back out on the concert trail each year, Cooper insists he’s
still motivated to continue
touring and recording albums, as well as making time for such side
projects as Cooper’s Town (his Phoenix-based restaurant/sports bar) and
his Nights With Alice Cooper nightly radio show, syndicated domestically
and worldwide on over 100 stations.
