ALICE COOPER bassist Chuck Garric is featured in a new interview with OnMilwaukee.com. An excerpt from the story is available below:
"Playing with Coop is playing with a legend. I've learned a lot about writing, working and recording with Alice and the band. There's always been a talented group of musicians in the circle of Alice Cooper and it's been a great experience from a musician's standpoint – playing the classic Alice Cooper songs as well as the new ones," said Garric. "One great thing about working with Alice is that you get the opportunity to meet and play with a lot of great musicians."Musicians like the current crack Alice Cooper lineup, which includes Tommy Henriksen (guitar), Ryan Roxie (guitar), Jonathan Mover (sitting in on drums for Glen Sobel, who's on the IR list) and 24-year-old hot-shot female guitar whiz Orianthi.
"Orianthi is great. She can stand up with anybody in the room. It can be tough for women in rock and roll – you need to be a little bit extra special, and Ori is that," said Garric. "She's an amazing singer, amazing guitar player and above all a great person, and she's fit right in with us – she's become one of the guys."There are a lot of moving parts to Alice Cooper Live, and once she got a handle on what her job responsibilities were gonna be – she never looked back. She's definitely a force to be reckoned with on guitar."

Beasto Blanco taps into a truly unique rock sound, but still stays true to our roots," said Garric.Beasto Blanco has been busy in the studio recording three songs as well as the video for the first single release, 'Breakdown' which is now available on iTunes. The video produced by Charles Conklyn is scheduled to be released early July.
"'Breakdown' is already being heavily played in Alaska and Reno, NV and were psyched at the positive feedback weve received from our fans!", said Chris Latham. "We cant wait for the rest of the world to hear our first single! And not to mention the video is KILLER!!"
