Hollywood Vampires

An American supergroup founded in 2015 by Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, and Joe Perry. The main idea that its founders pursued when creating the band was the revival of the spirit and atmosphere of "The Hollywood Vampires" — a famous drinking club that existed in the 1970s. Back then, along with Cooper, the main members of the club included Keith Moon, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Micky Dolenz, and Harry Nilsson. In 2015, the band released a self-titled studio album, the basis of which was made up of cover versions of hits, primarily from the 70s, authored by people who were directly included in Cooper's company or the aforementioned "club." Among others, Paul McCartney, Christopher Lee, Dave Grohl, Robby Krieger, and Joe Walsh took part in recording the album. The second full-length record will receive the title Rise and will appear on June 21, 2019, on the label earMUSIC. If the first self-titled album mostly consisted of cover versions of classic hits by The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and other bands, then on Rise, the collective will already place emphasis on new original material.
