FOR A LIST OF SONGS PLAYED, GO ON "SONG LIST" CLICK TO VISIT GAMUT'S ROCK OPERA TRIBUTE As we continued to develop the Alice Cooper tribute part of the GAMUT act (AKA "the Dark Side"), it became obvious to us that there was a need to differentiate between the two distinct parts of our split personality. Hence "mAlice & Monsters" was born. The name is a reference to an Alice Cooper album "Mascara and Monsters", with a little twist to reinforce just who it is we are paying homage to! We wanted a name that better reflected the show itself and also felt it important to develop a separate web presence from GAMUT... *GAMUT ALONE OR 2 SHOWS IN 1* WE TAKE PRIDE IN GIVING OUR AUDIENCE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS...FIRST OFF, A THEATRICAL ROCK SHOW TRIBUTE TO THE KING OF SHOCK ROCK, ALICE COOPER...THEN CONTINUE THE NIGHT AS GAMUT COMES OUT TO PLAY YOU SOME GREAT TUNES, TO DANCE THE REST OF THE NIGHT AWAY...
