Brain Surgeons

[John A Swartz]

Marc asks:

>Hi,
I am new to the list, so I am enquiring as to what relation
the Brain Surgeons (with whom I am completely unfamiliar, but
I have come across several references on this list) have to
Hawkwind and Blue Oyster Cult?

Please feel free to point me at the faq if there is one.




Well...he asked for it ....   ;-)

Welcome Marc!  The Brain Surgeons were founded by noted rock scribe
Deborah Frost (who until recently was a member of BOC-L), and her
husband, Albert Bouchard (BOC-L member, and of course the original
drummer for Blue Oyster Cult).

And yes, there is a (rather large) FAQ (yours truly is the editor,
and lots of folks here on BOC-L provided me with info) for BOC, and
there's plenty of info on the Brain Surgeons, including where to write
to get on their mailing list.  You should have gotten info on the BOC-L
archives when you subscribed, and the FAQ is in the archives.  If you
have a web browser, go to the following URL at your earliest convinience:

You will find that many on this list have sampled the music of the Brain
Surgeons (and some of us have had the privelege of seeing them live,
not to mention meeting them in person), and while I don't claim to speak
for everyone, most of us like it ALOT.  It's heavy, diverse, and has both
a modern and "classic rock" sound to it.

If you happen to be in New York City this weekend, you can see them live
at a place called the Rodeo Bar in Manhattan - Saturday November 23rd.
It's going to be a sort of CD release party for their upcoming CD *Box
of Hammers* (their other 2 CDs are entitled *Eponymous* and *Trepanation*).

Welcome aboard,
John Swartz
