The "Ultimate Jam Night" is an event that was started by the original bass player of Quiet Riot and Alice Cooper, Ace Frehley (Kiss) drummer and Lita Ford’s guitarist. It has been running for 5 years and packs the house each week at the world famous Whisky A Go-Go.
Only select musicians are hand-picked and invited to play cover songs at this elite event. For a band to be asked to open the event with their original music is more than an honor, it’s a privilege. There are so many bands in Los Angeles and to be personally requested to play this gig is a huge accomplishment for an artist.
The host Paulie Z, who is the singer of the world acclaimed band SWEET, personally invited Alex Cole to present his band as the opener for the Ultimate Jam on the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock celebration, a milestone event honoring the iconic Woodstock festival.

Alex Cole joined ANVIL as Special Guest in Las Vegas on their "Pounding The Pavement" USA Tour in March 2019
"Alex Cole from Burbank, Los Angeles, rocks on high volume for which the places name stands for. Good old Hard Rock’n’Roll à la Nazareth, Whitesnake and Airbourne is his musical direction, what is visible in song titles like “Bad Boy Rocker” too".
Steäm Machine - State Of Guitars - ANVIL "Pounding The Pavement US Tour 2019"
"Semi hollow guitars are very special and it takes mega practice to understand and use them properly.. there's only a few rock guitarists that use them. Of course Ted Nugent is the best known but other guitarist's like myself Dave Grohl and of course Alex Cole use them as well. When using this type of guitar it takes practice to control the harmonic sustain and or feedback effect. The guitar is virtually alive and the strings begin vibrating and playing themselves, so you must control the beast!!! In my personal opinion these guitars are the best...the workmanship that goes into making them is far more complicated and specialised. Alex and I love semi hollows and wouldn't care to use anything else!! Greatest rock and roll machines ever made, played by the best rock and roll guitarists!! Rock' n' Roll will never die!!!"
