VIDEO REPORT - Greek-Born LIVAN Gets Snatched By Alice Cooper World Concert

Greek-born and London-bred LIVAN (pronounced Lie’van), was asked by Alice Cooper to continue rocking as his opening act for the second leg of Cooper’s “No More Mr. Nice Guy” tour.  The UK band has quite the eccentric appearance, and quite a nice new sound as well. According to gossip reports, LIVAN rejoined Cooper on November 27th in Huntington, WV, continuing through December 14th in Orlando, FL. Along with the Cooper tour, LIVAN is set to perform six solo dates, starting on November 25th at the Prophet Bar in Dallas, with shows in New York, Pittsburgh, Akron, Columbus, Jacksonville as well as many others. Believe it or not this energetic electro-rocker is the grandson of the last popularly-elected prime minister of Greece before the coup that delivered the country’s government into the hands of a right-wing military junta. LIVANs early life was one of exile, resistance, and ostracism: not from his schoolmates or from his parents, but from his entire nation. As articulate and clever as he can be, he never forgets hes a rocker first. LIVAN has developed a provocative sound reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails and the tougher side of Bowie but as this fiercely-independent auteur is indebted to nobody but himself, consider those comparisons as points of reference only.
