This is the official site of Albert Bouchard. There are some other Abert Bouchards out there on the web but this the site for Albert Bouchard, the musician. I played and wrote songs for Blue Oyster Cult and have been involved in many other groups and projects that I am proud to be associated with. I continue to make records and write songs as well as do as many gigs as I can fit into my schedule. I update this website from time to time so come back every month or so to see what the latest mischief I've gotten myself into.

The third and final record of the Imaginos trilogy, The Mutant Reformation, has been released on July 7th 2023. It can be ordered  here. The first single, ETI, is available here.

 

 

Also in the works are the second part of the final chapter of the Michael Moorcock trilogy, Dancers At The End Of Time

 The new Blue Coupe record, When Legends Collide, has been released and you can find it in fine records stores (sorry it is not available at big box stores).

The second record of the Imaginos saga, Imaginos II Bombs Over Germany, was released October 22, 2021. New additions to the Imaginos roster now include Joe Cerisano, Richie Castellano, Buck Dharma, Eric Bloom, Dana McCoy, Don Falcone and Cyzon Griffin. Order  ReImaginos and Imaginos II here.

Season 8 of my weekly vlog series, Most Cowbell!!! will start again in March 2024.  Look for it on http:youtube.com/altbouch and subscribe, if you haven't already, to see every episode. Also check out my friend and bandmate, Susie Loraine's channel to see our new mutual vlog, The Al & Susie Show. Susie and I made a bunch of new music videos with our band and had a blast doing it. They are also available at the above link .

2023 has been mostly great for me and it is gratifying to finish this project that Sandy and I started over 50 years ago. This final chapter had plenty of help from my friends.

Another great thing that happened in 2023 was that I went on tour, drumming for the mighty Dictators in Calfornia with the Damned and headlining a tour of Spain in the fall. I am told more dates and a new record will be announced sometime during the spring of 2024.
