BRAIN: Bikinis and Bonfires and Beer

[Brian Halligan]

Here's the latest from cellsum.com:

> The Brain Surgeons, the critically acclaimed power trio led by Blue Öyster
> Cult founder Albert Bouchard and Deborah Frost, are in the final throes of
> mixing a sixth (seventh? depends on who's counting) CD release. In the near
> decade since the 1994 debut Eponymous, the band, once a quintet, has been
> forced, by death, disaster and the simple facts of the road, to redefine its
> music, mission and self damn near completely.
>
> Beach Party, due March, 2003, featuring a handful of contributions from
> familiar collaborators, bassist Joe Bouchard and lyricist Richard Meltzer, is
> the organic, essential Brain Surgeons, stripped straight to the rock hard bone
> and occasionally thoroughly ridiculous nonsense that is generally only fully
> experienced live. Beach Party will be accompanied by the band's most extensive
> touring to date including select shows scheduled for France and Great Britain
> in April.

Hoo-Ha! Looks like there might be a hint of the cover art on the site's
splash page too. I can't make out what the pattern is in the sand though.
