Hollywood Vampires
Grit-soaked hard rock with a theatrical edge. A high-octane tribute to the excess and ghosts of the 1970s Sunset Strip, led by rock royalty.

Hollywood Vampires is a high-profile supergroup formed in 2012, centered around the trio of Alice Cooper, Joe Perry (Aerosmith), and actor/musician Johnny Depp. The project originated as a tribute to the 'Hollywood Vampires' drinking club of the 1970s, a group of legendary musicians including Keith Moon and Harry Nilsson.
Sonically, the band occupies the space between 70s hard rock and modern blues rock, characterized by Perry's signature guitar work and Cooper's vaudevillian vocal delivery. Their debut album was notable for its massive guest list, including Paul McCartney and Dave Grohl, while their follow-up 'Rise' showcased more original songwriting and a darker, more experimental edge. Critically, they are viewed as a formidable live act that successfully bridges the gap between celebrity spectacle and genuine musical craftsmanship. Their cultural position is that of the 'elder statesmen' of rock, preserving the aesthetic of the 1970s rock star archetype for a modern audience.
