Blue Oyster Cult First Ever Australian Tour

March 5, 2013

Blue Oyster Cult may be the ultimate 'cult' band. Revered by punks, metal heads, sci-fi geeks and horror movie fans alike, B.O.C. have carved out a 40-year career via a string of complex hard rock albums and killer live shows. The author Steven King adores them and so does Dave Graney. Their best known track Don't Fear The Reaper, was a U.S. top twenty hit in 1976 and the album it came from, Agents Of Fortune achieved platinum status (featuring a collaboration with songstress Patti Smith) while their overall catalogue sales are in excess of 24 million. They also provided Radio Birdman with the album title Radios Appear, a lyric taken from the track Dominance and Submission from the Blue Oyster Cult album Secret Treaties.

Most recently B.O.C. have released The Complete Columbia Albums Collection, a 16 CD/ 1 DVD box set comprising all their studio albums from 1972 - 1988; three live albums; a rarities disc and the appropriately named radio broadcast collection: Radios Appear.

The live albums, starting with 1975's On Your Feet or On Your Knees, clearly demonstrate BÖC's strength as a live act; they're a bracingly powerful band, the rock solid support of the rhythm-bass-drums embellished by Buck Dharma's stinging guitar leads. Already announced as a co-headliners at the 2013 Dig It Up! Feel are now proud to announce headline shows for Blue Oyster Cult in Sydney & Melbourne. For the these two special performances, B.O.C. will perform the entire show, no support - like wow!

This will be the first-ever Australian tour for Blue Oyster Cult and it's all thanks to Hoodoo Gurus.
