There were three separate groups going by this name. The first was the drinking club that Alice formed. Other members included Harry Nilsson, Mickie Dolenz (the Monkees), Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, Bob Brown (AC publicist) and John Lennon. Alice was the President. Brown, the Treasurer. They used to meet in 'The Lair' which was an attic space in the Rainbow Bar & Grill in Hollywood. The idea was to be the last one standing.

The actual 'Lair' looks very different than it appears on the 'Prime Cuts' video. In the video, the Lair looks like a spacious room with booths. Actually, it's more of a small loft area that overlooks a dimly lit bar room. Behind the loft is a small, dark room, which supposedly has seen many a puerile act (If only those walls could speak). Also, there's a small staircase that leads up to the loft. The loft is roped-off from the public. And to the left of the steps is the sign that reads "Lair of the Hollywood Vampires. Pres.: Alice Cooper. Members: John Lennon, etc."

There is one famous story about the time the gang went over to Brian Wilson's house after an evening of a cocktail or two. I don't remember exactly what the line up was but Iggy Pop was there too. So, they all go to Wilson's house at 3:00 in the morning and they're walking in and Brian says, "Shhhhh, be very quiet, I don't want you to wake up the kids." He then turns around and starts playing the piano and sing at the top of his lungs, "Mama'a little girl loves shortin', shortin', Mama's little girl loves shortin' bread". That went on for a couple of hours. Needless to say, the kids woke up. Alice has told this story a lot of times and I think it is Iggy who relays it in a recently done documentary about Brian Wilson.

Group two was the baseball team which was formed out of the drinking club but not confined to it.

Group three was the band on 'Goes To Hell'. Alice changed the band name frequently. Another name was 'Ultra Latex' as seen in the 'Strange Case of...' Video.
