Man o man I wish I could be in SF for this show. On March 22nd at 8 P.M., Blue Oyster Cult will be returning to one of the birth places of modern Rock & Roll: Slim’s in San Francisco. What’s even more special, they’ll be accompanied by our good friends Elephant Hunter. That’s quite the 1-2 punch if you ask me. EH just released their “hard hitting and cerebral” new album, entitled These Arms in February, and the they’re firing on all cylinders these days. I encourage those of you in the Bay Area to resist every impulse you may have to ‘fear the reaper,’ and go to this show. The combination of a classic like BOC and the new blood of EH is going to make for a energetic and dynamic show.

Bio
Being a rock band in the Bay Area comes with a heavy burden; to live up to the acts that have preceded you while doing something entirely your own. Elephant Hunter has successfully risen up to this charge of creating contemporary rock that is hard hitting, emotionally stirring, and unlike anything of it's kind. By being raised on a healthy diet of bands like Soundgarden, Primus and Tool, Elephant Hunter has mapped a style that is tantalizingly familiar but ultimately unprecedented. "We want our music to be listened to repeatedly, respected as unique, and enjoyed thoroughly," says singer Ben Morrison. "This is our mission as Hunters." Judging by the recent success of their independently released debut album, These Arms, accomplishing this mission will prove not to be a problem.
