Alice Cooper band's Chuck Garric has teamed up with Chris Latham and producer, Tommy Henriksen to form the new band Beasto Blanco."With Beasto Blanco, we have set out to create a live, raw power, rock & roll band that will allow us to indulge our influences and imagery that has shaped our collective musical background. Beasto Blanco taps into a truly unique rock sound, but still stays true to our roots," said Garric.
The band's first single "Breakdown" which just hit iTunes, is already being heavily played in Alaska and Reno, NV. "We're psyched at the positive feedback we've received from our fans!" said Chris Latham. "We can't wait for the rest of the world to hear our first single! And not to mention the video is KILLER!!"
