RAW OYSTER CULT

Raw Oyster Cult is a New Orleans swamp rock super-group that features the best of several of the greatest bands that have ever come out of the Big Easy. A number of bands have risen from the ashes of the Radiators and Raw Oyster Cult – the name is a naturally N’Awlins spin on ‘70s classic rockers Blue Oyster Cult – may be the most Radiators-like of them all. It features three former Rads – guitarists Dave Malone and Camile Baudoin, and drummer Frank Bua – plus Papa Grows Funk keyboardist John “Papa” Gros. Together, they remake favorites from the Rads repertoire, enliven songs from Gros’ own extensive catalog, and throw in the occasional curveball.
