Alice In Wastelandilta kokoelma ja keikka
Melodisilla voimapopralleilla 1980-luvun lopulla ihastuttaneen Alice In Wastelandin tuotantoa saadaan kuulla vihdoin cd:llä. Poko Rekords Ja Hiljaiset levyt julkaisevat kesällä kokoelmalevyn ”Wasted”, joka niputtaa Alicen taipaleen vuosilta 1986-1992.Alice In Wastelandin ensilevy ”Between The Zoo and The Jungle” ilmestyi vuonna 1987 ja toinen pitkäsoitto ”Red Eye” vuonna 1991. Siinä välissä yhtye julkaisi nipun singlejä ja keikkaili ahkerasti pitkin Suomea. Alicen musiikki soi taajaan myös ruotsalaisilla radioasemilla. Viimeisen keikkansa Alice heitti vappuna 1992. Kokoelman kunniaksi Alice In Wasteland on palannut treenikämpälle ja nousee perjantaina 13.6. Helsingissä ravintola Bellyn lavalle.
