Orianthi has some solo shows lined up with Chuck Garric and Glen Sobel backing her up. The first is the previously announced Las Vegas show on April 25th at 'Vinyl at The Hard Rock Hotel And Casino' which are followed by shows in Japan between May 13th and May 17th. Unfortunatly all the info is in Japanese so I can't offer much more beyond the fact that the May 14th show appears to be in Tokyo and May 17th show appears to be in Osaka, both at venues called 'Billboard Live'.

Sadly the 'Uncle Alice Presents..' Kickstarter campaign failed to reach it's $200,000 target. Where this leaves the project hasn't been announced but maybe funding will appear from another source. Contary to what seemed the general perception this was NOT an Alice Cooper project but the idea of a small company called 'Dark Matter' who are just starting out (hence the campaign) that would feature Alice. Still, it's a shame this may never now happen.

Blue Coupe play at the Cutting Room in NYC on April 27th. This is a show to mark the release of the new BC album 'Million Miles More' which you can order here (and features Alice on one track).

According to the Fairport Convention official site Alice Cooper will headline the annual folk festival 'Cropedy' on Thursday August 8th!!
Cropedy organiser and Fairport bassist Dave Pegg says "We've been hoping to get Alice to Cropredy for years and at last the work calendars have coincided. Alice is one of rock music's great originals and his live shows are pure entertainment with their great combination of rock, theatricality and breathtaking staging. But at the end of the day it's the music that counts at Cropredy and Alice has produced some of the most accomplished and exciting rock of the past four decades."
The site also says this is expected to be Alice's only UK show this year.

According to the 'Ship Of Fear' site the Chiller Theatre organised cruise which was to feature Alice playing a show on the ship has been cancelled.
