Blue Oyster Cult

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Blue Oyster Cult formed in Long Island, New York in 1967.  The band that became Blue Öyster Cult was organized at Stony Brook College by students (and later rock critics) Sandy Pearlman and Richard Meltzer as Soft White Underbelly.  This quintet signed to Elektra Records and recorded an album that was never released. The group dropped their singer, Les Bronstein and replaced him with their road manager, Eric Bloom, as the band’s name was changed to Oaxaca. A second Elektra album also went unreleased, though a single was issued under the name The Stalk Forrest Group.  Cut loose by Elektra, they changed their name again, to Blue Öyster Cult, and signed to Columbia Records in late 1971.
