After Dark - Gentlemen After Dark
Album Produced by Alice Cooper and Dick Wagner
Gentlemen After Dark was a Phoenix band that came
out with an EP Produced by Alice Cooper and Dick Wagner. Consisting
of 4 songs this record came out in 1983 which was during Alice's New
Wave career. Gentlemen After Dark sounded a little like Human League,
Bauhaus, well along those lines you get the picture.
Gentlemen After Dark later became The Beat Angels in 1996. Consisting
of songwriter & vocalist Brian Smith who later co-wrote "Sideshow"
on Alice's "The Last Temptation" lp. Also drummer Winston
A. Watson Jr. who played drums for Alice a few times also played for
Bob Dylan as well as other artists. Other members of GAD were Brian's
brother Barry Smith, Robin Johnson, and Fred Cross.
I read once that Alice said he really didn't produced
the record as Wagner was more into the technical aspect of it. Alice
would just give his opinion on the sounds of the music so to speak.
I have to say The Beat Angels are much better but it's good to hear
how they grew in time.
To note singer Brian Smith also is a writer for Phoenix
News and wrote the liner notes for the Deluxe "Billion Dollar Babies"
double CD.
