About Me

The Brain Surgeons are the brainstorm of Deborah Frost and Albert Bouchard, whose prodigious songwriting, arrangements and creative drumming drove the legendary Blue Ã–yster 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 important, 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, his vision, chops and giant Godzilla mask burn brightly as ever with the Brain Surgeons, who've released seven highly praised CDs on Cellsum Records and built a devoted cult following over a decade of hard touring and great word-of-mouth. Deborah Frost, an ex-rock critic in the tradition of Patti Smith and Chrissie Hynde, was a member of NYC's pioneering all-female hard rock band, Flaming Youth, who hung with Kiss and the Dolls, before making her mark at Rolling Stone, Creem, the Village Voice, et al. The most recent addition is Ross the Boss (Dictators, Manowar). DENIAL OF DEATH, the new album, is available at www.cellsum.com, fine outlets around the world or by clicking link below. -- -- -- CDBABY LINK for BRAIN SURGEONS NYC: Denial of Death --
