It’s
hard to believe it’s over 30 years since the birth of
what we now know as Heavy Metal. Hendrix
and Cream were the midwives,
the likes of Sabbath and Zep
the progeny. But what about the half-brother lurking in the
corner, giggling, and sucking on the gas and air?
Step
forward please, Blue Cheer.
In
November 2003, Blue Cheer played
a 7 date UK tour, which was a great success, the band are
to tour the UK again in 2005.
Track
Records will release ‘Highlights
and Lowlifes’ to coincide with the 2005 UK tour,
a studio album only released previously in Japan.
In
2003, there was a good reaction to bands two classic albums
and live album at both store
and press level and it is anticipated
that the UK Music Press will
be featuring BLUE CHEER extensively again, as all the heavyweights’
have asked to be informed of the next UK tour and album release,
and have expressed desire to run widespread coverage on a
band they see as both historically and currently important.
Blue
Cheer is Heavy. Cosmic. Kinetic. It affects the visual and
physical senses.

UK Music Press welcomed BLUE
CHEER back with open arms in October/November 2003, with a

and Grand Funk Railroad, as well as the grunge explosion of
the 90’s”

the band with “blasting out loud
and proud rock’n roll for more than 35 years –
