£10 adv / £12 Door

Established UK-based Alice Cooper tribute band ‘Gallus Cooper’ have built a solid reputation throughout Britain. Their accurate renditions of many of Alice Cooper (Band) shock rock songs with full stage theatrics, including Alice’s own U.K tour snake, 12 foot monsters, a full life size working gallows and many ghouls and gore galore, leave fans with a nightmare to remember.

The band has evolved over the years; from the early existence in 2007, it now sits with a settled line up of solid musicians who truly gel to recreate the sound and vibes of Cooper throughout the decades. Expect to be hearing authentic versions of early classics such as Killer, 18, Schools Out to more current tracks like Bed of Nails, Brutal Planet and I’ll Bite Your Face Off. Alice Cooper himself found out about the band and personally invited them to a show in Germany, where they got to meet Alice and even swap t-shirts.

Since then, word and reputation of the band continues to spread and in 2013, ‘Gallus’ himself was invited to guest sing with Blue Coupe, featuring the multi talented Bouchard brothers, Joe and Albert from Blue Öyster Cult and Alice Cooper band legend himself Mr Dennis Dunaway.
Gallus Cooper continues to build bigger and better shows to keep the nightmare alive, selling out numerous venues throughout 2012/13.

So be prepared for an evening of nonstop shock rock if Gallus Cooper hit a town near you on their 2014 tour as we will give you a very, very warm ‘Welcome to our Nightmare’.
So why are they called sCOPYons? Hopefully the capital letters method of spelling the name will explain the name is just simply we are a COPY of the Scorpions …………Founder member Nige did have to explain this even to certain intelligent friends and members of the band.

The embers of The Scopyons were formed in late 2011 when 5 North West based musicians decided to get together a definitive UK based tribute to the great German Rockers The Scorpions. The band spent 9 solid months rehearsing until playing their first full shows in September 2012 and were quickly acknowledged as the premier UK Scorpions tribute and were subsequently offered the opportunity to go and play in Munich, Germany alongside Scorpions guitarist Matthias Jabs at the 5th Anniversary of his MJ Guitars Store in march 2013. Things have gone from strength to strength from there on in with bigger and better gig offers and over 5500 Facebook likes in the first 12 months.

Scopyons have a leaning toward the post Matthias jabs era (1978 Lovedrive up to the present day) All the BIG hits like Rock You Like A Hurricane, Big City Nights, No One Like You, Holiday etc are there but we have added classic Uli Jon Roth era songs like We’ll Burn The Sky, In Trance & Pictured Life to the set for 2014. We really could not have chosen a more perfect time to unleash the UK’s first full 5 piece definitive Scorpions tribute band
