Brain Surgeons were a rock band featuring Albert Bouchard formerly of Blue Öyster Cult, rock critic and former Flaming Youth drummer Deborah Frost, and guitarist Ross the Boss formerly of The Dictators and Manowar.[1]
They formed in 1994 and originally centered on the nucleus of Bouchard and Frost; at one point, Tommy Hilfiger's brother Billy Hilfiger was their guitarist.[1] However, Billy Hilfiger was later diagnosed with and died of brain cancer.[2] They underwent several lineup changes over the course of the band's lifetime, and these affected the stylistic bent of the music. The band released their last album studio album, Denial of Death, in 2006, and disbanded later that year.
