Ken is the founding member of mAlice & Monsters... He has been singing in local area bands for 24 years. His stage experience is key when it comes to working a crowd. Ken is a very versatile vocalist who really knows how to make each cover his own... Ken also plays acoustic guitar, and dabbles with the keyboard as well...
Influences include Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, Styx, The Doobie Brothers, and The Guess Who...

An experienced bassist with a number of diverse, successful bands over the last three decades, Fred is also a novelist, graphic artist and songwriter. His basses include a 1978 Yamaha BB1200 and a 2005 Rickenbacker 4003, with amplification by Ampeg: an SVT Classic with 810e and 410HLF cabinets.

 
Greg Werthman comes from a family of professional musicians, so literally grew up in the business. Playing in bands and as a solo act since childhood. He considers himself a songwriter first. But certainly can hold his own on lead/rhythm guitar, and is happy to add vocals to the mix. A natural showman, Greg is in his element on stage.

Chris has been playing drums for over 25 years, and is one of Gamut's original members, forming the band many moons ago with Ken, the band's lead singer. He is excited to be back with Gamut after a 3 year hiatus from the group. During that time, he kept himself busy with another band - "Unglued", Ottawa's official Stone Temple Pilots tribute act... He currently plays a 6 pc. Gretsch Catalina Maple in a cherry finish, uses Sabian & Zildjian cymbals, Head Hunters AAA drumsticks, Shure & CAD microphones, and EV for monitors. Chris is a big fan of John Bonham, which shines through in his playing style. Other influences include Ian Paice (Deep Purple), Bun E. Carlos (Cheap Trick), and Eric Kretz (STP).

ALICE COOPER BAND MEMBERS COMMENT ON ROCK HALL INDUCTION NEWS
With their upcoming induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Alice Cooper, is acknowledged as one of the most influential bands in rock history.

JUNE 19TH 2010~PATTY & FRANK TIE THE KNOT

We are very happy to announce the union of two people... Patty and
Frank Sellars!!!

Our first AliceCooper/GAMUT wedding celebration and it was a blast!!
An outside stage fit for Alice himself and a crowd, ages 7 to 70 that
couldn't get enough... The Alice set was well received and we felt their enthusiasm as we took them through the nightmare...and then we came
back out with our great mix of dance tunes and had a great celebration
into the wee hours of the morning.

Thanks to Patty and Frank for having us as part of your day and thanks
to all your great guests for your kind words!!!!

We'd also like to give a big thank you to Erick Sodhi for coming out and taking a pictures of the mAlice & Monsters show!!

January 3rd 2010-A mALICE & MONSTERS NEW YEAR!!!
Well first off, we would like to thank everyone for a really fun year!!Our Alice Cooper tribute show has been so much fun for us!! This show all started at the Carleton Tavern as a Halloween gimmick last year, and 14 months later,  has turned into a full theatrical rock opera... and only because of the demand and interest  it has received from you our fans,  friends and the clubs who have shown theirs.   We continue to expand the show,  adding  more stage props and songs... we look forward to a busy 2010 and appreciate the positive feedback from you all thus far...Thank you so much and have a great and safe 2010.....GAMUT   


September 15th, 2009—The latest 'Monster'... 
We are very pleased to welcome Laurent "Lo" Lapierre to the band as our new guitar player. Lo has a long history of playing diverse music in the nation's capital and brings with him not only unparalled guitar-solo capability, but a ridicuously huge collection of guitars.

Our thanks to Brian for his long service and stellar musicianship and best wishes on his future musical endeavours.


August 18, 2009 - New name, same attitude! 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 and, well, this name was available! For all you GAMUT fans out there (and we know who all three of you are), have no fear—GAMUT will continue on, as busy as ever, and will frequently make an appearance as mAlice & Monsters' opening act. Big things are happening for us and we expect to have plenty of news to report in this section of our website. Special thanks go out to our loyal supporters and we look forward to growing the show to give you an even better experience in the future. - Ken, Brian, Robin, Paul and Fred...

July 9, 2009 - Cajun Attic Unusual for us to be playing on a Thursday, but the Cajun Attic in the market got the boys (and girl) from GAMUT/G-ALICE off the couch and into full make-up for their opening night at Ottawa's newest hot spot. Thanks to George and Matt for having us out and even with the long flight of stairs(Ouch), a great time was had by all. We look forward to our return in September. Maybe not the stairs though...

July 3, 2009 - Greenfields Pub Another packed house at Greenfields to witness our Tribute to Alice Cooper. It was great to hear the many comments from the folks at Greenfields that our show brought back memories from when they saw the true King of Shock Rock himself and our Tribute had captured the music and stage show of the King. Big thanks to Lars, Morris and all the folks at Greenfields for their great hospitality and we look forward to our return in November.

June 11, 2009-Lone Star Texas Grill Thank you all for coming out to spend an evening with Alice, Gamut, the Perrier & Birtch Jam and Cl!ck. We were told by the staff that they had not seen a Thursday as busy as it was and they wished that they had more staff to handle the crowd on hand. The first set was awesome with the Perrier & Birtch Jam band getting the crowd going with acoustic versions of some great tunes. Ozzy's Crazy Train and Paranoid were a definated hit with the crowd. Ozzy unplugged... WOW!!! Around 9:00 Cl!ck hit the stage. If you have not seen this band, you have to check them out. Excellent musicians all round. These guys (and girl) are definately going to be big in the band circuit.

Next.... ALICE!
Lights dimmed....
Silence in the room....
Anticipation....
A wall of sound hit the room with HELLO, HURRAY, LET THE SHOW BEGIN....

What followed was truly ALICE, The noose was waiting and ALICE was hung but as a real trooper, he came back but was met by Nurse Bitsie who decided that this demented maniac belonged in a straight jacket and severly medicated. Poor Nurse Bitsie never knew what hit her as ALICE escaped...

When ALICE left the room, GAMUT hit the stage and served up a variety of dance tunes to fill the dance floor. A great night was had by all and was only made possible by the many fans and friends of Gamut, Cl!ck and the Perrier & Birtch Jam band.

Thanks again for your tremendous support and we look forward to seeing you in the near future...

  • Fantastic show at The Brass Monkey last night. I was there with my husband and we are both HUGE Alice Cooper fans. mALICE really captures the flavour of the Cooper shows we've seen and makes it work so well on a smaller scale. The guys in the band are note perfect and the theatrics? I bet Alice would do a double take when he sees Ken on stage! The props and scary "Nurse Kitty" really add to the whole experience. We will definitely be out again!
