Blue Öyster Cult has a long and storied history spanning
over three decades. Blue Öyster Cult got its start in the late '60s on
Long Island, New York, as the Soft White Underbelly, but each member had
been involved in bands previously in high school and college, before
ending up in the "right place at the right time" to create the beginnings
of Blue Öyster Cult. We created this special form to get a clear understanding
of your specific needs, demographics, budgets, etc. in an effort to
make the talent buying process as quick and easy as possible. To contact one of our Agents immediately, please call (212) 645-0555.
Blue Oyster Cult was about to be born. The threads that eventually wove
together to create Blue Öyster Cult got their start in upstate New York.
Blue Oyster Cult is a Long Island Band, though – and don't forget it! Long
Island native Donald Roeser and Albert Bouchard (of Watertown, New York)
met at Clarkson College, in Potsdam, NY. The two were introduced by a
mutual friend, Bruce Abbott (who later co-authored "Golden Age of Leather"
with Donald). With Abbott and two other friends, they formed "The
Disciples" and played college parties and local beer halls. The next year,
the band reformed and played the same circuits as "Travesty" (named after
the Blues Project album). Through all this, their studies fell by the
wayside, and both Albert and Donald decided to quit college to concentrate
on playing music full-time.
Eventually "Travesty" broke up, Donald and Albert took seperate paths for
a while. Donald went back to Long Island, and Albert took a musical
opportunity in Chicago. After moving there, though, the band fizzled, and
Albert returned to NY and joined Donald. In the meantime, Donald had been
jamming with local musicians, and had met a person that would become very
influential in their future: Sandy Pearlman.
Sandy Pearlman became interested in rock music around the time of the
British Invasion, and was a pioneering voice of rock criticism, opening a
new field for creative writers like Lester Bangs. Both Pearlman and his
friend Richard Meltzer were contributors for seminal magazine "Crawdaddy!,"
the first magazine that dedicated itself to analysis of rock music and its
culture.
Allen Lanier came into the fold by way of guitarist John Wiesenthal. Allen
had accepted employment at a film company at which Wiesenthal was also an
employee. After becoming acquainted, Wiesenthal invited Allen out to Long
Island to meet and jam with the loose group of musicians he played with,
and Allen began to regularly jam with them.
Blue Oyster Cult is a Long Island band! An old house near Stony Brook
College became ground zero for the formative band, and casual jams with
whomever happened to be hanging around began to turn into rehearsals with
a core band, which included Wiesenthal, Donald, Albert, Allen and Andrew
Winters, a school friend of Donald. It was 1967.
Blue Oyster Cult was a thinking man's Long Island band. Pearlman (along
with Meltzer and Wiesenthal) had been a student at Stony Brook, and was
becoming increasingly involved in the music scene. When he heard the
formative combo, he instantly recognized the talent at work. He had an
idea for a band, and thought that this group of musicians had the chops to
put that idea into play. The musicians saw that Pearlman's contacts and
stature in the local (and increasingly national) scene could help them
spawn a career as well, and an alliance was formed.
So c'mon - don't fear the reaper, baby!
Blue Oyster Cult continues to rock out to this day. In the late 1990s, BÖC
secured a contract with CMC records and are continuing to perform into the
21st century.
Blue Oyster Cult have released two studio albums since 1998 Heaven Forbid
and Curse of the Hidden Mirror from 2001, with sixteen songs co-written by
cyberpunk/horror novelist John Shirley, followed by another live record
and DVD, both drawn from one epic show in Chicago.
Blue Öyster Cult performed at Retrofest in Chilliwack, British Columbia in
summer of 2005, with Rick Derringer, Edgar Winter, Jefferson Starship, and
It's A Beautiful Day.
