about
The Brain Surgeons are the brainchild of Albert Bouchard, whose prodigious songwriting, arrangements and creative drumming drove the legendary Blue Öyster Cult to platinum sales and arena rock status. Contrary to the hilarious Saturday Night Live skit, he's the dude who really put the cowbell in "(Don't Fear) The Reaper." More importantly, his influence is acknowledged by rock pioneers from the Minutemen (whose Mike Watt still covers his "The Red and the Black" nightly) to Metallica, whose version of his classic "Astronomy" went quadruple-platinum in the U.S. alone. The rare artist who's shared stages with both Jimi Hendrix and Sonic Youth, Bouchard's vision, chops and giant Godzilla mask burn as brightly as ever with the Brain Surgeons, who've released nine highly praised CDs on Cellsum Records and built a devoted cult following over a decade of hard touring and great word-of-mouth. The band features Deborah Frost, an ex-rock critic in the tradition of Patti Smith and Chrissie Hynde on vocals and guitar, and latest addition lead guitarist Ross the Boss (Dictators, Manowar), who features on the band's most recent releases. Bouchard announced the end of The Brain Surgeons in mid-2007. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
