		Blue Cheer was a San Francisco based power trio of the late 1960s.
		Julian Cope has written, "In 1968, nothing but nothing in America and Britain sounded as brutal as Blue Cheer except for the Velvet Underground." [1] The blues is a vocal and instrumental form of music based on a pentatonic scale and a characteristic twelve-bar chord progression.
		Blue Cheer are still active as of 2005.

	Pogomotion Roster
		It’s perhaps typical of the chaos embracing Blue Cheer that they started life and one of their gigs as a six piece, and by the time they emerged to perform the second half of the set that particular night they’d contracted to a trio.
		In the years since Blue Cheer first charged out of the Bay Area on their Harleys many have hailed them as the first ever Heavy Metal band.
		It can also be argued that Blue Cheer were too unstructured and unrestrained for the tag to really be true, but they were definitely a prototype.

		Their blues wasn't blue but their cheer was deafening, and they took their name from bad biker acid and quoted Owsley on their first LP sleeve.
		He’d heard Blue Cheer be ‘the loudest band in the world’ as they'd always proclaimed, but he’d also heard them shut the fuck up in such a pindrop-stylee that it was possible to hear the freaked out gum-chewing of disorientated front-row pre-teens only there to see the Cheer play their hit version of ‘Summertime Blues’.
		Blue Cheer was over-recorded white noise with a total disregard for 4/4 convention.

	CAUCASIAN POWER BLUES: AN APPRECIATION OF THE BLUE CHEER
		The Blue Cheer philosophy, intentional or not- was to do as much with as little as possible- crude playing, crude production, reaching out, a primitive grasping, a sonic transcendence only possible through rock and roll, the blues, speed, and volume.
		The LP kicks of with their sole hit "Summertime Blues"- maybe you have not listened to it but you know you've heard it, and it may not be exactly representative of their prowess as demonstrated on their first two LP's, but it's definitely pretty close.
		The Blue Cheer CD's recorded in the mid '80's floating around the used bins are of a reformed version of the band, usually with Dickie Peterson as the only original member, though Paul Whaley drifts in and out of the line-ups.

	Blue Cheer: Colours: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In the summer of 1967, Stephens heard the accumulations of blues and rock inside his head, and formed Blue Cheer, situating himself between Cream's rhythmic tightness and Hendrix's flamboyant excess.
		Blue Cheer's signature song, "Summertime Blues", is a prime example of this bludgeoning.
		And while Blue Cheer, at this early stage, have yet to work out their kinks, their songs are already stunning: "Out of Focus" croaks tales of "the magic madness" and "mystic dream," a prepubescent version of Zeppelin's bombast, while "Second Time Around" is a grimier and more explosive predecessor to Yes' "Heart of the Sunrise".

		Their debut album, Vincebus Eruptum is marked by big, fat, revved-up blues riffs with dueling lead guitar solos that occupy totally separate spots in either speaker, and wholly over-the-top drum rolls that do the same thing.

	Blue Cheer : New! Improved! Blue Cheer - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The title is a bit misleading for, although this is certainly "new" Blue Cheer, it is hardly an "improvement." It is important as a document of a band with some influence and certain cult status.
		Now that the Velvet Underground have achieved true cult superstardom, it is bands like Blue Cheer that continue to get rediscovered by devotees of '60s music.
		Although both sides of this album were produced by Milan Melvin, Dot recording artists Burns Kellogg on piano and organ, and Bruce Stephens on guitars, sandblocks, and tortoise shell, cannot help Peterson lift the basement tape vibe of side one to a place where it can compete with Holden's contributions on the second side.

	Blue Cheer
		Second, at least it's a consolation to know that Blue Cheer weren't just one of the innumerable bands to mindlessly rip off Hendrix; they had a specific identity, and they were quite an unusual outfit for the West Coast at the time.
		They're not forgetting their blues roots either, turning in a hilarious rendition of Booker T. Jones' 'The Hunter', which is probably the most - or, rather, the only - "calm and collected" tune on the album, and, surprisingly, quite effective in its stomp.
		I mean, hearing long guitar jams from Blue Cheer is something we've grown unaccustomed to since their debut album at least, and even back then it was pretty much a hit-and-miss occupation.
