Music Crowdfunding Watch: Alice Cooper Has Just 9 Days & $150K To Go On Kickstarter
Alice Cooper doesn't need advance support from fans to launch a tour or make a new record. (Does he even make new records?). But apparently he's not willing to dip into his fortune to fund the launch of "Uncle Allice", a comic book, graphic novel and TV show starring the rocker as the "scary, scaredy" narrator. With 10 days left, the campaign is currently at around $50,000 with a $200,000 goal. WATCH:
THE CONCEPT:
"This is not some hoary tribute to EC
Comics. Sure, it’s a comic book anthology horror series, graphic novel,
and, if you demand it, a television series, but all comparisons end
there. Unlike your mommy’s quaint horror comics of yore, UNCLE ALICE
PRESENTS is the one and only horror series brought to you by and
featuring the visionary maestro of shock rock himself, ALICE COOPER.
That’s right, Alice freakin’ Cooper!"
