About this project
ALICE SWEET ALICE--2012 U.S. TOUR
For Alice Sweet Alice (ASA), 2011 has been all about our new album, "Mandala", which released in Sept. Our album is available internationally, and the feedback has been rewarding from our fans. We feel it is time to spread our music outside of the thin walls of Kansas City, MO. And since we have many fans that cannot travel to Kansas City to see us, we shall come to them. As much as we are a "DIY" band for most, we realize it is necessary at this time to span beyond our own means and ask for a little help. The U.S. tour is already in the works as ASA networks our way into venues and securing our dates now. We hope to collect enough funds to make it possible for us to play in 9-12 destinations in 2012. If we are able to reach our goal, the funds will be used for travel costs, lodging, and necessities for the band while on the road.

Fuse fearsome dedication with four diversely talented musicians, a mind-boggling work-ethic and a positive mission, and you’re facing an unstoppable force. Welcome to Alice Sweet Alice, a Kansas City alt rock hybrid, whose tasty tunes, stylistic diversity and passionate live show are paying dividends with a hard-to-ignore street buzz.
Alice Sweet Alice are mavericks in the Alt Rock music world, defying any easy pigeonhole. In fact, ASA invented one word to describe their unique- and ever-evolving sound: “Electropostpunkadelic”. As one Kansas City reviewer described Alice Sweet Alice's music: "Take the turbulent undercurrent of Joy Division, add edgy guitar-synth crunch and hooks ala Garbage, drop in the haunting post-punk of Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees, a dash of Love and Rockets psychedelics, and polish the whole mix with angst-meets-curious inclinations inspired by The Cure's rhythmic urges. Something like that with a twist.” A UK review for ASA's most recent album “MANDALA”, stated: “It's hard to say what you notice first about Alice Sweet Alice, but it's probably fair to say that Ali Kat's vocals come fairly close to the top of the list. Tuneful and soulful, she is (thankfully) not given to the histrionics found on your average Evanescence album, instead opting for a tuneful drawl in the vein of The Kills or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, albeit with a significantly more interesting musical backdrop.”
Alice Sweet Alice received “Best Alternative Band” and “Best Album” nominations in Feb 2012 with the Midwest Music Awards. Commercial radio station Alice 102 in Kansas City asked ASA to represent them on their St. Patty’s parade float in 2012. ASA was chosen to work with Gotham Music Placement in Santa Monica, CA and is currently working with them on multimedia, film and TV placements. ASA has had great success overseas, where via their eastern European distributor “AMAdea Records”, Alice Sweet Alice has consistently remained at the top selling status with their first two albums. Also in Feb 2012, ASA was notified that their entire discography is now available in JAPAN & CHINA.
MARCH 2012—Alice Sweet Alice embarks on their first US Tour entitled “Singularity” and plays their first show on the 24th of March at THE GRANADA in Lawrence, KS. Other cities ASA will visit are New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, Springfield MO, Columbus OH, West Chester PA, Indianapolis and of course their hometown of Kansas City among others. As of now, the tour is still being assembled, but it promises to be a fantastic adventure for the band and fans alike. More cities and dates will be posted as they become available on the band's main website: www.alicesweetalice.com.
