Alice Cooper Band Australian Tour

In May 2015, original “shock rocker” Alice Cooper will make his long awaited return to Australian shores. Touring with rock legends Motley Crue on what will be their final ever world tour, Alice Cooper brings his full theatrical stage show to major cities all over the country.

With more than 50 years in the music industry and such classic tracks as “School’s Out”, “I’m Eighteen” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy”, 2011 saw the original Alice Cooper Band inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Alice Cooper’s current touring band is a Tour de Force of outstanding musicianship with Chuck Garric on bass, Glen Sobel on drums and a three pronged guitar attack featuring Tommy Henriksen, Ryan Roxie and most recently, Nita Strauss.

Grover Allman has a great relationship with all 3 guitarists and has been supplying Alice Cooper band with guitar picks for a number of years now, all 3 players are amazing musicians in their own right and we’re proud of our association with such industry veterans.

A recent Guitar World Magazine article ranks Nita Strauss as one of the “10 female guitar players you should know”, one of our favourite video clips shows Nita playing an Iron Maiden track live during one of her NAMM appearances. Nita is currently using our 0.80mm ISO shape Delrinex picks with graphics that reflect her passion for Star Wars and her beloved Sea Hawks! Nita recently collaborated with our design team to create a unique range of merchandise that is now available to purchase on her website.
