This follows last year's release of 2 MICS & THE TRUTH: UNPLUGGED & UNHINGED IN AMERICA (PIAS), a collection of live recordings available now at all music retailers and streaming services. It features all-new live performances, including rearranged classics, songs played live for the first time, spontaneous requests, and random improvisations. 


Produced by founding member Brian Ritchie and featuring The Horns of Dilemma, Violent Femmes' evolving multi-instrumentalist backing musicians, the album was recorded in 2016 as the band visited public radio stations and music media outlets across the country in support of their acclaimed ninth studio album, We Can Do Anything.

Alice Cooper, who released his 27th album Paranormal last July via earMUSIC, has announced his summer 2018 tour. Following on his current "A Paranormal Evening With Alice Cooper" March run, the legend will embark on another North American trek. The summer tour kicks off in August and wraps in September.

This leg is also "A Paranormal Evening With Alice Cooper." The Las Vegas and Los Angeles dates will feature special guest — guitarist Ace Frehley.

Further information about all Alice Cooper tour dates is here.

Paranormal features special guests, such as U2's Larry Mullen, Jr., who plays on 9 of the 12 new songs; Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top; and Deep Purple's Roger Glover, as well as a highly anticipated mini-reunion of the original Alice Cooper band members.
