Bio
.Joe Bouchard was a founding member of rock legends Blue Öyster Cult. He joined that group in 1970 and was their bass player and a creative force in the band for 16 years. After 11 gold and platinum records for Columbia, he left BÖC in 1986 to pursue other goals. One of his early projects was the formation of the X Brothers... The X Brothers were formed in 1988. Originally called the Cult Brothers, the group started as a four piece group with brothers Billy and Andy Hilfiger, on guitar and bass, respectively, and Jim Cacala on drums. As the Cult Brothers they toured all over the U.S. from Maine to Florida, Texas to Montana... Due to a legal dispute with Blue Oyster Cult, The Cult Brothers changed their name to the X Brothers and in 1998 released a very successful CD entitled Solid Citizens. Right after the release of the CD, brother Billy was forund to have a brain tumor. For the next four years, even though their schedule was cut back drastically, the group continued to play shows with Billy including several in upstate New York... Andy played several shows with Kid Rock as his bassist which included a worldwide appearance on the VH1 Fashion Awards. Joe recorded a CD with Alice Cooper alums, Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith. Jimmy left his drumming chair to perform as a lead singer in an upstate hardcore band called the Bowery Boys... Unfortunately, in 2001 Billy passed away due to his cancer. The band and large numbers of Billy's friends came together for a star studded concert at Don Hills in NYC honoring their fallen brother. It was a touching moment... On the Fourth of July, 2002 the X Brothers played their first show without brother Billy at an outdoor fireworks show in Elmira NY. The show was attended by over 5000 people and was a smashing success. The X decided that they could and should continue to play together, but now as a trio... In summer 2002 other shows were added to the schedule including very intense shows in Cleveland and Pittsburgh. They recently played CBGBs in NYC at a benefit to help the Rescue Dogs of 9-11. Even though there were 20 other bands on the bill, the X Brothers brought the house down with their high energy performance... Late in 2005 Joe started production with the X BROTHERS on their new CD "Beyond the Valley of the X". By summer of 2006 the CD was released on AHE records to strong critical acclaim. The CD contains 14 tracks 7 brand new originals and 7 cover songs. The lead off single is "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" written by Ray Davies of the Kinks... ..The New X Brothers new album is available on CDBABY.COM and as a digital download from iTunes... ....Myspace Graphics......Myspace Layouts..........
