Chuck Garric, a rock bassist and guitarist, is the frontman for BEASTO BLANCO and Alice Cooper's long-time bass player.
Beasto Blanco was formed in 2012 by Chuck Garric and Brother Latham. They set out to create a raw, powerful, rock & roll band with a searing, theatrical live experience. Enter Calico Cooper, rock vixen and the spawn of Garric’s boss, legendary shock rocker Alice Cooper and a renegade German rhythm section and Beasto Blanco’s inimitable sound and image emerged.
Beasto Blanco was flooded with invites to get on the road after the release of Live Fast Die Loud, completing three successful tours of Europe, Norway and the UK. With word about the band’s live antics spreading fast and love from a select crop of radio stations, Beasto Blanco’s fan base started growing into a devoted clan clamoring for more music and raucous shows. In March 2015, Beasto set out for their first US tour of The West Coast.
The stage show was fit for a stadium and started off with two SOLD OUT shows in Anchorage, AK, then slammed into Phoenix, AZ with a guest appearance from Alice Cooper and climaxed with a packed house at the legendary Viper Room in Hollywood, CA. Invites back from promoters and pleas from fans to return have flooded Beasto Blanco’s inbox social media accounts.
Beasto Blanco with producer Ryan Greene and Rat Pak Records have completed a full-length follow up to “Live Fast Die Loud.” Release set for fall 2016 The new album showcases the band growing as songwriters and their cohesion as a band. Exploration of new geography, the impact of life experiences and a fist on the pulse of social media has influenced the development of their sound. Tracks like “Death Rattle” and “Grind” exemplify these elements coming together in an organic implosion of sonic originality that prove Beasto Blanco is writing their own story. Beasto Blanco has something real to sing in their signature growl about. And the people are listening, relating, pumping their fists and singing along.
Beastö Blancö had the honor to support for the Platinum-selling German band, Bohse Onkelz on their 2016 sold-out arena tour that took them across Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
The partnership was forged after an introduction in Nashville while Bohse Onkelz was working on their latest acclaimed album with Michael Wagener. Beastö Blancö had their own success to celebrate with the release of their self-titled album on Rat Pak Records, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Heat Seeker’s Chart and #9 on the Hard Rock Chart.
Once on the road, Garric noted the synergy and an instant connection between the bands. There was a mutual respect for each other from day one that contributed to the success of the match up. Garric noticed an immediate commonality of the familial structure within each band’s camp. He says, “You could feel the bond and love they have for each other. And the same goes for Beastö Blancö. We operate as a unit. One person compliments and balances the other. It’s our lifestyle, it’s our family.”
Bohse Onkelz has perhaps one of the most dedicated and loyal followings in all of rock and roll that was slightly, initially intimidating for Beastö. “We knew we had something to prove and we had to do it quick. The crowd was excited to see their beloved Oknlez. It was obvious because all 10,000 of them we’re chanting “WE WANT THE ONKELZ.” But, once we hit the stage, it was our time to show the crowd what Beastö Blancö is all about. We did our thing and the crowd was very positive, very responsive. By mid-set, we had their total attention and we confirmed we were worthy of the Onkelz invitation into their world.”
He adds, “We couldn’t have asked for a better way to be introduced to Germany than with the Onkelz. We are forever grateful and chomping at the bit to do it again!”
