(Gibson) Runaway Phoenix, a hard rock band fronted by Alice Cooper's son, has released their first EP. Titled, simply, The E.P., the 6-song disc features Alice himself as a guest on the opening track, "Tug of War."Formed in 2002, the Phoenix, Arizona-based group describes their sound as "AC/DC meets The Yardbirds who slept with Led Zeppelin who had an illegitimate love child." Other influences cited by the band include The Who, Neil Diamond, Audioslave and, of course, Alice Cooper.
Dash Cooper, who handles lead vocal duties for the group, isn't the only member of the Cooper clan who's entered the entertainment business. Actress/singer Calico Cooper has been a guest on several of her father's albums, and has long been an integral part of his stage show. Calico's younger sister, Sonora Cooper, is said to have similar aspirations. more on this story
