Gallus Cooper with Lady MacBeth - the same snake as used by Alice cooper himself.

Glasgow-based Alice Cooper tribute band, Gallus Cooper, are fast building a reputation throughout Britain for their accurate renditions of many of Alice Cooper, Alice Cooper Band and shock rock’s best songs. As their reputation has spread they have been playing throughout the UK…….

Gallus Cooper made the only decision possible – to build a set around the songs their fans demanded most of, Alice Cooper’s ‘No More Mr Nice Guy’, ‘Welcome To My Nightmare’, ‘Elected’ and, of course, ‘School’s Out’, thereby becoming a tribute band to the master of Shock Rock.
Alice Cooper himself found out about the band in November 2007, courtesy of Rock Radio DJ Kieron Elliott, who owned up to having played a massive wind-up earlier on the day of Alice’s Scottish gig, claiming to be “Mr. Furnier’s” attorney and looking for massive royalties from lead singer “Gallus”.  A rep from the Performing Rights Society checked out Gallus’s next gig, reportedly sent by “Mr. Alice Cooper” to check that due royalties were being paid!  The wind-up was played repeatedly on Rock Radio 96.3FM and has been posted more than once on ‘social networking’ sites by the said Mr. Elliott. The band were later personally invited along to meet “Alice” at a headline show in Germany where the band got to meet their hero and swap T-shirts.

The show continues to evolve, with more tracks being added and expanding the theatrical aspects of the shows including appearances from “Lady Macbeth”, (the snake used by Alice Cooper himself when touring the U.K), straight jackets, electric chairs, on-stage dancers and Nurses making this an unforgettable tribute show.

Gallus has been featured in many newspaper articles and on TV, including being featured on the Hour Show on STV.

Gallus himself was also asked & played 2 nights at Glasgows’s famous Armadillo (part of the SECC Complex) in August 2010. He played Alice as part of the “I Was There” which was a rock musical on the story of the Glasgow Apollo.

With recent appearances alongside the UK’s premier KISS Tribute, “Dressed To Kill” and playing to crowds of 1200 people when headlining the “Rock Radio 96.3fm” Halloween Ball in Manchester 2010….  the future is looking up for the “Gallus Cooper Group”.

You can catch them next at Ivory Blacks, Oswald St, Glasgow on 30/12/11. Tickets available from Ticket Scotland at £8 plus BF or £5 via the band members.  Door 7pm.  Supports – Journey2Europe & Hard Rock Heaven.
