Bassist CHUCK GARRIC Talks ALICE COOPER's Take On BEASTO BLANCO - "He's Happy To See This Thing Starting To Take Flight"

Totally Driven Radio, the weekly radio podcast heard live every Thursday night from 8:00pm - 11:00pm EST recently spoke with Alice Cooper’s bassist and Beasto Blanco frontman Chuck Garric. In the interview found below, he discusses the origin of the Beasto Blanco band name, working with Alice Cooper's daughter Calico, touring and more.

Beasto Blanco released their self-titled, full-length second album on November 25th. It is the follow up to the bands 2013 release Live Fast, Die Loud which was endorsed by the likes of movie actor Johnny Depp, Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, producer Bob Ezrin, and many more. The effort, which was produced by Ryan Greene (Alice Cooper, Lita Ford, Mr. Big), features 11 new tracks and an amped-up cover version of Alice’s hit song “Feed My Frankenstein” that also features Alice's daughter and fellow Beasto band mate Calico Cooper. The album is currently available for pre-order via Rat Pak Records website at this location.

The first single from Beasto Blanco, the band’s version of “Feed My Frankenstein,” can be heard on the Nights With Alice Cooper radio show, which is syndicated on over 100 stations worldwide. The song can also be heard at 15,000 AMC, Regal, Cinemark and NCM movie theaters in the United States throughout the month of November.

Influenced by bands such as White Zombie and Motörhead, Beasto Blanco’s all new 12-song, sophomore release is a potent mix of heavy riffs, driving bass and melodic choruses.

“I’m very proud of this release” says Chuck Garric, “This new album showcases the bands evolution as songwriters and our unity as a musical force”, and Calico Cooper adds, “This record is like a baseball bat to the chest that you want more and more of.”

Beasto Blanco tracklisting:

“Buried Angels”
“Grind”
“Feed My Frankenstein” (Alice Cooper cover)
“Carcosa”
“Death Rattle”
“Dark Matter”
“Sadhana”
“I Rise”
“Machine Girl”
“Honey”
“Blind Drive”
“Damnation”

Beasto Blanco will embark on a 2016/17 fall/winter tour starting in November, that includes a string of US headline dates, as well as an arena tour of Europe with German hard rock heavyweights Böse Onkelz. They return home to the US for another run of headline dates that will conclude with performances on the 2017 Monsters of Rock Cruise in February.
