Blue Oyster Cult – Fan clubs
The formal BOC fan club is in the USA (Los Angeles).
It
started in the earley ‘90s.The director is Bolle Gregmar.He was born in Sweden
and is a BOC fan since 1974.He was also the director of the Swedish fan club
until he went to the states.The L.A. fan club (as described by others) is a
very big room full of BOC items of all times.Everything that was published for
BOC is there…..ALL vinyl,cassettes,cds,from normal discography to bootlegs and
worldwide releases from Japan to Spain…ALL unreleased BOC/Soft White
Underbelly/Oaxaca/Stalk Forrest Group songs….ALL BOC members’ collaborations
with other artists….ALL BOC TV appearances and not only on videotapes…Almost
ALL BOC concerts since 1972 recorded on tapes…ALL BOC posters..thousands BOC
photos…Almost EVERYTHING ever-published for BOC (worldwide) in magazines…..He
also publishes the fanzine called “Morning Final”.
Is
there anything else you can imagine??? It is there…
Think
about houndreds of items you cannot imagine…
The other BOC fan club I know is in
Europe(France).Luke Church is the guy who does the “dirty work” there,with the
assistance of some other people.
They
publish a fanzine called “pearl” and they also have other activities.
The third-one is the Hellenic(Greek) fan
club called “Hellenic Cult”.
We are
miles away from the other guys.The director is me(Makis).The main problem is
that our fan club does not work on a constant base,because of my job(I am a 2nd
officer in merchant marine ships and I am far away for 7-8 months every time I
travel).The other problem is that I can’t find any other Greek guy who is So
Sirius BOC fan/collector as me to assist me.
Our
activities until now:
Some limited issues of a fanzin called
“Nosferatu” and some other publications(great work but amateur printout) such
as:
a)
All BOC lyrics from 1972 translated in Hellenic language.
b)
BOC photo-book
c)
All BOC history and of their members from 1968-2000 (in Hellenic
language).
Also anybody who is interested can have
the tapes from the BOC concerts in Greece back in 1987 and 1995 and photos from
the above concerts plus x-copies from magazines from ‘70s,’80s,’90s.
I
have also been interviewed live 3 times on radio (national station “ERA” in
1998& private station “Capital FM” in 2000) and talked about the BOC &
BOC fan clubs in Hellas & USA & the Brain Surgeons/X-Bros. And also
played songs of the 3 above bands.I also talked live on the national TV-channel
“ET-3” on a music program called “Jammin’ ” (while on the screen they were
showing BOC sites from Internet) about BOC & fan clubs.
My
next goal is to find as many more BOC fans is possible and a big BOC-party in a
rock club & a big BOC tribute (video & audio) on the above channel
& stations.
My
dream is to watch BOC live in USA(probably next year….2001) and visit the
L.A./BOC museum.Until now I have only visited the biggest(probably) English BOC
fan –Andrew Rushton- in Blackheath(UK).
