Hello there Ladies & Gentleman...Hello there Ladies Gents...

Your humble host Ryan Roxie here...

I wish I could start EVERY letter I wrote out with a Cheap Trick quote! But alas, we are not here to discuss the legendary status of "Trick", but to kick start the debut release single of the band I have been working on for the greater part of 2007 and heading into 2008, Happypill.

I'm very proud of the music and the sound that we have been able to put together as a band, and I'm very excited for you to listen to it... so much in fact, that I'm giving it to you.

I have come up with some unconventional means of promoting the music with the concepts of the Conscience Free Download (C.F.D.) and Splitting The Profits (S.T.P.). But with a little help from my friends (this being you) and a bit of good ol' fashioned luck, I'm hoping that the Happypill debut single "This Year" will reach each and every ipod, cell phone, and boom box within the continental universe in the coming year.....aim high, right!?!

Sooooo....if you haven't been by the Happypill myspace site lately www.myspace.com/happypill07, please drop on by so you can see and hear what I'm talking about.

My "official" launch date is set for December 17, 2007 (you know me and the "77" by now, don't cha!)....but your involvement can start any day you would like to. Just shoot me an email at roxie@roxie77.com and tell me you are ready to help start working "on the pill" and I'll send ya some info on ways that would really help us out.

Simple stuff really, but just things like featuring our song "This Year" as your site's theme song and making "Happypill" your "top friends" on sites like myspace and facebook...... plus, stopping people randomly in the street and scream "Happypill" repeatedly in their face until you drop from exhaustion....see, simple stuff!

I just wanted to sincerely thank you beforehand, because I truly appreciate everything that you have done for me in the past, which has helped me create what is now in the present, and now gives me great hope of what we will be able to accomplish in the future....

Remember....if YOU believe in UNICORNS....UNICORNS will believe in YOU.....wait, that wasn't what I wanted to say....that sounds crazy, no?...........or is it?

Peace, Love, and Happypill

Roxie

A few news sites including PR-inside.com and, of course, ContactMusic, seem to have picked up on the fact Alice will use the gallows on the forthcoming UK dates stating that it's the first time since 1988 that the stunt has been performed.

The following message has been posted on Dick Wagners official site:
"I have on occasion been able to reach the bottom of my heart for an emotion to define the character of a song. I have been able to feel deep love for certain people and to share the fruits of that love. I've led an extraordinary/ordinary life. By most standards, I've "made it" in the music business. I will always be deeply grateful for those years of music and madness.
Today I sit in intensive Care at Scottsdale Healthcare, a state of the art hospital facility where the combined skills, compassion and technologies and prayers of thousands of people from around the world were converged on me as I lay dying from a massive heart attack. My kidneys had failed, the prognosis was not good, and I was in a world of hurt. I believe that my current state of recovery can be laid at the feet of every one of you people out there, who showed the tremendous outpouring of love for me and to me in a time of deepest need. My left arm and hand are completely useless, but doctors tell me that with occupational therapy, I should be able to be back playing guitar again.
As much as you've loved me and cared for me, I love and care for you right back, from the bottom of my heart."
Dick Wagner

The Dennis Dunaway Project will be playing Daniel Street, 21 Daniel Street, Milford, CT on July 27th.

Neal Smith has his new solo album on the way. He says:
“I have been working on a solo project for at least three years, and hopefully midsummer I will release that. I wrote everything, played guitar, played drums, sang everything. I have a bass player I worked with, Peter Catucci; we recorded it in his studio, and he’s a great singer. I just developed a really crazy character for the music, for the vocals, and I think it’s a little more contemporary than anything I’ve done in a long time. I mean, there are 11 songs on it. There may be some things on it that someone might think sound like classic rock, but for me though, it’s more industrial, more heavy metal, more Euro. There’s a little bit of rap hip-hop in there, and like a said before, there’s a little bit of Euro sort of high-tech metal. But it’s just because I experimented with a lot of different things percussion-wise. So I’m pretty happy with it. I just did the photo session for the CD, and the mixes are almost finished, and hopefully it will go into production and then take about three weeks after that and hopefully release it midsummer. I was inspired by bands like Thrill Kill Kult, King's X, a band out of New York called Shirley Temple Of Doom, a band out of Philadelphia called Tapping The Vein, and Pigface, some really heavy metal, the younger, fresher bands. So I was inspired to do something. People that are familiar with my music think it’s the most contemporary music they’ve heard any of the Alice Cooper band members do. I don’t know if the fans will like it as much as things we’ve done in the past, but again, it’s almost like Alice Cooper fans aren’t really my target audience this time. And I keep telling everybody, this stuff is pretty heavy. It would probably even make Alice blush. I mean, I’ve got to tell you, it’s really X-rated and it’s a lot of fun, and it’s just something really sick I’ve wanted to do for a long, long time. And I just haven’t had the opportunity to do it. And so now I had the time, and just the inspiration to do it…"

Eric Singer and Keli Keri are both taking part in all-star jam to honor of the late Pantera/Damage Plan guitarist "Dimebag" Darrel Abbott. It Happens on Saturday, January 20th at the Hilton Hotel in the Pacific Ballroom in Anaheim, California.

Calico Cooper is featured in the upcoming February issue of 'K9 Magazine', the most read dog magazine in the UK. Says editor Ryan O'Meara "As soon as we found out she had a dog we jumped at the opportunity to do the interview. Most of our staff are huge Alice fans!" The mag also has a MySpace page here.
Here's an exclusive sneak preview of the interview:
Tell us about your dog.
Captain Jak is a rescue dog. He is the classic rags to riches story. He was found on the Pasadena Freeway, scared to death with one eye, a broken tail, and a wicked under-bite. Now he lives in a cushy 5 bedroom house in Los Angeles, has gained almost 4 pounds, and pretty much rules the place!
When did you get your first dog and can you remember what the feeling was like, early days, initial problems, fun etc? My very first dog's name was Lestat. She was our family dog. She was a beautiful German Shepard, and was very maternal. I used to sleep under the Grand piano with her, and she treated me like her puppy. If i would wander too close to the pool, she would grab my dress with her teeth and gently tug me back toward the house! Once, while we were out of town, someone broke into our house in Los Angeles. Lestat, who was a gentle giant, had to attack the burglar to protect the place. The robber stabbed her in the shoulder with a screwdriver, and without batting an eyelash, she chased him out the front door and down Mullholand drive!
What are your current top 5 most listened to tracks on your iPod? 
Let me check, well, my i tunes SAYS my top tracks are...
Wake me Gently- Alice Cooper
I Want You- Fiona Apple Featuring Elvis Costello
Kiss Yourself Goodbye- Still Standing
Born To Raise Hell- Motorhead
Home Sweet Homicide- Wednesday 13
Tell us a secret from the Alice Cooper tour bus.
After all the blood and glitter on stage... we eat pizza and play poker all night, all while wearing funny hats/costumes, (i.e.. viking helmets and Graduation caps) and listening to the most obscure mix of music we can find. The soundtrack to West side story, various underground garage rock, old banjo country, and Bee Gee's lost tracks. We giggle and carry on like teenagers. Its kind of like a highschool sleepover... for 6 months straight.
(Thanks Ryan)
