Alice Cooper Comes to King Center Next Week
by BWW News Desk - September 28, 2017
Alice Cooper topped the album sales charts worldwide with his new album, Paranormal, his first in six years. Cooper is known for pioneering a 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. Alice Cooper brings his own brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new, enjoying it as much as the audience does. Known as the architect of shock-rock, Cooper has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continuing to surprise fans and exude danger at every turn, like a great horror movie. His 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.
