Blue Oyster Cult

Buck Dharma tells UCR that after more than 50 years, the band isn't ready to quit.

"We're all at the mercy of the cowbell sketch in different ways," Buck Dharma says.

Buck Dharma recalls how the famous sketch starring Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell turned an "afterthought" into a necessity.

Veteran band cleans out its closet with unearthed recordings from its 1978-83 vaults.

The LP's first single, "So Supernatural," is out now.

They made for some strange concerts.

New record will be their first studio effort since 2001's 'Curse of the Hidden Mirror.'

They have never been a paint-by-numbers rock 'n' roll band.

While some older acts floundered, they took advantage of the new decade and its new gimmick, MTV.

Few bands in rock 'n' roll history have so willingly wrapped themselves in mystery and misdirection.
