About

The Spiders were an American garage rock band in Phoenix, Arizona founded as "The Earwigs" in the spring of 1964, becoming Spiders in 1965, moving to LA and becoming The Nazz in 1967 and Alice Cooper in 1968.


The Earwigs consisted of Vincent Furnier (later known as Alice Cooper) on vocals, Dennis Dunaway on bass, and Glen Buxton on guitar. In the fall of 1965, John Tatum on rhythm guitar and John Speer on drums joined the group which was renamed Spiders. Michael Bruce replaced Tatum on guitar in 1966. The band relocated to Los Angeles in March 1967, changed their name to The Nazz in April. Fellow Phoenix musician and friend Neal Smith moved in with the band in September 1967 and replaced Speer as drummer latter that fall. By March of 1968 the band changed their name again, becoming Alice Cooper to prevent confusion with Todd Rundgren's group Nazz.
