Alex Dolby (1) 278 views 0 favorites Alex Dolby was born in the rich land of Ciociaria some years ago He got involved in music production after having attended several clubs nights around Italy. His influences have to be searched in djs as Lory-D, Speedy-j and Leo Anibaldi but also in the italian house protagonists as Ralf, Flavio Vecchi and Ricky Montanari. As soon as he got his own studio he started producing tracks which were the fusion of electronic and house music. He worked hard and he reached his own style, the same characteristic music flavour that nowadays calls so much attention on him. It couldnt be not so natural the meeting with one of the craziest italian producer and in addition fellow countryman Santos. The guys met and the project Alex Dolby came to life. The first record signed Alex Dolby was Psiko Garden included in the From Ciociaria With Dub ep along with UNDO/REDO Driver Pink single on Mantra Vibes. This track caught the attention of several djs in the Uk and it got well received in clubs. With stron gsupport from people as Fluke DJs or Pete Tong who played Psiko Garden in his essential mix show on BBC RADIO 1. Second release was Hazy Way/Visionary Lake, long awaited worldwide which gained a lot of exposure and good reactions. Positive opinions came also about the remixes of Psyko Garden signed by legend John Acquaviva and Ashtrax. Then for his debut on Mantra Smiles Alex Dolby deliverred Untitled Valley, simply high quality progressive psiko funk. After that single which went sold out the name Alex Dolby got again on the verge with Hazy Way remixed by breakbeat master producers Evil 9. The record was among the best remixes of the year 2004 nominated as Best Remix Of The Year at the 05 Breakspoll Award and in Pete Tongs playlist for five weeks in a row and declared also Essential Tune Of The Week in november. Still nowadays this remix is among the most wanted ones. However Alex scored again the top of the club charts with his remix of INFUSION Girls Can Be Cruel which arrived again on the top of the UK Buzz Chart. Next step was Obsessive Sound immediately in Satoshi Tomiie playlistnow remixed by electro duo Niki B & Christian E.F.F.E. and italo wonder Ajello... and the brandnew "Instrumental Pleasure E.P.' about to be dropped on Mantra Vibes.

Alice Cooper (1) 285 views 0 favorites This is the band Alice Cooper which ended in 1975. Please see other entry for the Solo Artist Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper was an American rock band formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1964. The band consisted of lead singer Vince Furnier, Glen Buxton (lead guitar), Michael Bruce (rhythm guitar, keyboards), Dennis Dunaway (bass guitar), and Neal Smith (drums). Furnier legally changed his name to Alice Cooper and has had a solo career under that name since the band became inactive in 1975. The band was notorious for their elaborate, theatrical shock rock stage shows. In 2011, the original Alice Cooper band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
After several years of little success, the Alice Cooper band rose to fame in 1971 with the success of the single "I'm Eighteen" and the album Love It to Death. The band peaked in popularity in 1973 with the album Billion Dollar Babies and its tour, which broke box-office records previously held by The Rolling Stones.
The band consisted of former members from the previous 60s garage rock band, the Spiders. They created everything as a group and wrote virtually the lion's share of what was to become the classic Alice Cooper canon. Neal Smith's sister Cindy Smith Dunaway (Dennis Dunaway's wife) designed the band's costumes and also performed in the stage show (she was the "dancing tooth" during the band's Billion Dollar Babies tour).
The Alice Cooper band was the subject of media criticism after Furnier (Alice Cooper) threw a live chicken into the audience during the 1969 Toronto Rock 'n' Roll Revival Festival. The audience ripped the chicken to shreds.
The band was featured on a Warner Bros sampler album Zapped of bands produced by Frank Zappa for the label, and then went on to release several chart-topping albums and headlining major tours before breaking up in 1975. Vincent Furnier took "Alice Cooper" as his own name and carried on with a new group of musicians, the original band becoming officially defunct. The band played their final show on April 8, 1974 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Bruce, Dunaway and Smith would go on to form the short-lived band Billion Dollar Babies, producing one album - Battle Axe - in 1977. While occasionally performing with one another and Glen Buxton, they would not reunite with Alice until October 23, 1999, at the second Glen Buxton Memorial Weekend for a show at CoopersTown in Phoenix (Buxton having died in 1997). They reunited for another show, with Steve Hunter on guitar, on December 16, 2010, at the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix. This lineup would perform together again (televised) on March 14, 2011, at the induction of the original Alice Cooper group into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as well as on May 11, 2011, at London's Battersea Power Station at the Jagermiester Ice Cold 4D event (webcast). Bruce, Dunaway and Smith appeared on three tracks they co-wrote on Alice's 2011 album Welcome 2 My Nightmare.
A documentary about the Alice Cooper band entitled Super Duper Alice Cooper premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 17, 2014, and was scheduled to be screened at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival a week later.
On October 6, 2015, a surprise reunion show took place in Dallas at Dunaway's book signing session where he was joined by Bruce, Smith, Cooper and Ryan Roxie, who replaced the late Glen Buxton. The surviving members of the band are set to record and release an album with Cooper in 2016.
