BLUE CHEER

[Nathagnôle]

Ce vieux groupe inscrit pour jamais au panthéon des créteurs du hard rock avec leur premier album de 1967 "Vincebus Erutpum" est encore en activité et a récemment posté cette nouvelle à propos de la préparation d'un DVD:

Blue Cheer are asking you to take part in their 1st Official DVD coming out, which will include a documentary extra.


We would like your thoughts and/or comments, good or bad, influences, if any, about Blue Cheer, on a separate short clip, done on video or dvd format. It can be 60 seconds or more.

We don't need to have a big production....just some words.


The deadline is now December 2008.


Cheers,

Gabrielle

Et les titres de 2007 sonnent tout aussi hard sur leur (horrible) myspace!

Bon, c'est une news ou une exhumation du coup? Si c'est de la pure actualité on garde le sujet dans Revelations.

Ou alors on garde un seul topic BLUE CHEER dans Return to Fantasy pour causer hard fumette fin 60's

Il valent quoi les albums des années 80 (après la reformation) ?

Le groupe souhaite continuer, malgré la mort de son leader il y a 3 ans :

BLUE CHEER, considered by some to be the Godfathers of heavy metal, are back.

On October 12, 2009, BLUE CHEER bassist and lead singer Richard Allan "Dickie" Peterson after a long fight against cancer. Tony Rainier, BLUE CHEER's guitarist from 1977 to 1988, recorded and toured with Peterson and has continued his guitar arrangements and songs for the band's resurgence. Along with Tony in the group's current incarnation is Luke Ayoso of the 1980s hard rock/glam band FRENCHEE on vocals, bass and lead guitar and a drummer to be announced.

ShroomAngel Records is planning to release several vinyl LPs and compact discs in order to showcase the Tony Rainier period of BLUE CHEER. One album currently being put together by the label consists of previously unreleased studio recordings made in 1978. ShroomAngel will also be culling together a live two-LP set featuring the band during their comeback tour of 1984 and on into 1985. A brand new vinyl LP is to also be released with a tour hopefully by the summer.

Commented BLUE CHEER's longtime manager Mike Bodack: "For those who had no right to say that BLUE CHEER is done, wake up! Dickie wouldn't want that. So all you 1%er's wake up, because, as Dickie would say, 'We need ya!' Keep BLUE CHEER going. The name and music will live on. See ya on the road soon. We are BLUE CHEER and this is what we will always do."
