Ken is the founding member of mAlice & Monsters...He has been singing in local area
bands for over 25 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...

Tony has been playing for many years with various bands in the local
music scene… a lot longer than he would like to admit. He started
playing guitar at the age of eleven, his very first live performance
was in a talent show during theTulip Festival at the age of thirteen
with his old school mates. He grew up listening to The Beatles…
His guitar influences included Ace Frehley, Eddie Van Halen & Randy
Rhoads; those,in his opinion, were the big three.
Tony’s main axe is a custom made Charvel style with Floyd Rose and
also his beloved first real guitar, a ’78 Les Paul Sunburst which he
received from his Mom.His stage rig includes EVH 5150III 50w and
Soldano X88R,various cabinets,
rack gear and FX pedals.

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 cherryfinish, 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. At inception forty years ago, the group shocked the world
so fundamentally that it seems to have taken a preternaturally long time
for their incredible talent to be recognized...read more

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...

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
supportersand we look forward to growing the show to give
you an even better experience in the future. - Ken, Brian, Robin,
Paul and Fred...

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 greatto 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
showof 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
gettingthe 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!
