The New CD “A Plush Horse…with a Monkey on a String” features All Star Performances By: NY Doll – Steve Conte, Bob Lizik of The Brian Wilson Group, Blues Pianist – R.P.Michaels, Top Cat, Chip ZNuff and ex Hi-Fi and Roadburners drummer Dan Curry. Peter has been fortunate enough to be surrounded by some of the very best musicians to assist in this vast and wide variety of Blast’s array of musical styles.
Over the years Peter has developed a very unique style and sound; haunting lyrics complete with hooks and melody; a jagged to the edge guitar that feels like barbed wire across bare skin; yet Peter still conjures up heart wrenching ballads that make grown men cry.
F.M.Q.B. (Friday Morning Quarter Back) is quoted as saying “Peter Blast may be the long lost cousin of the New York Dolls, guaranteed to annoy the neighbors.”
New York Rock journalist Anne Leighton wrote “Peter walks a fine line of elegance and balls, his lyrical and interpretative skills stand right up with the likes of Bruce Springsteen.”
Victoria Cross of the New York Waste stated that “Peter Blast blew into town on his infamous Live Dive Bar Tour and burnt this city to the ground.” Blast informed his audience “It may have only cost you ten bucks to get into this joint, but it’s gonna cost you twenty to get out.” One patron exclaimed “These Peter Blast shows were amazing. The guy’s switchblade skinny with a surprisingly strong voice. He Rocks and I’m hooked!”
Peter has performed, recorded, or been associated with such accomplished artists as: The New York Dolls, Johnny Thunders, Steve Conte, Ricky Parent of Alice Cooper, Kenny Harck of Bad Finger & The James Young Group (Styx), Tracii (L.A.) Guns, Willie Schwartz of Tom Waits and John Foggerty, Desi Rexx of the David Lee Roth Group and D’Molls, Bob Lizik of The Brian Wilson Group, Clyde Davis of the Staple Singers, Peaches Stanton, Chip ZNuff, Rick Richards of the Georgia Satellites and Izzy Stradlin and the JuJu Hounds, The St. Joseph Choir, Ian “Mac” McLagan of the Small Faces, The Bump Band, Faces and the New Barbarians (Mac’s also toured and recorded with The Rolling Stones). In addition, Peter’s been associated with ex-members of Guns-N-Roses, Hanoi Rocks, the Dead Boys, Canned Heat, Stevie Nicks, Spirit, Buddy Miles (Band of Gypsies), Earth Wind and Fire, The KoKo Taylor Band and “Wicked” Wilson Pickett…
“Peter Blast” performed his first Live performance on New Years Eve 1967. A mid-block Southside Chicago tavern, Peter performed the popular songs of the day. In those early hours of January 1st, 1968 Peter collected his earnings and never looked back. He’s been called “A Rock-N-Roll Survivor that deserves the Purple Heart.”
Blast has penned material for the acclaimed cult film “Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer” and his group “Degeneration” is documented as the first Punk Rock Group to perform the fabulous Las Vegas strip. Peter then returned to the Midwest and focused on Live dates with the group “Blast Factory” until landing a contract with Circumstantial / Stoney Records with the release of “junebug, Ticket to Hell” (RED Distribution). What was to follow were three Peter Blast solo releases: “This Side of Shang-hi” “Explode” and the Live EP “Tracks.” Peter’s material has been mixed by the likes of “Johnny K” (producer of Disturbed) and “Phil Bonnano” (Cheap Trick and Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” for the film Rocky). Now with four releases under Peter’s belt, Poptown Records in New York has now released “Pure Organic Junk” (An Anthology), Peter’s fifth.
Blast is currently finishing his number six “A Plush Horse…with a Monkey on a String” scheduled to be released in the Spring of 2008. Peter’s New CD “A Plush Horse…with a Monkey on a String” is a fifteen song CD including bonus tracks of all New Blast material. Peter has managed to blend together Rock, Punk, Blues, Spiritual, and Psychedelic, all rolled up into one neat little package with a huge impact! Peter Blast like you've never heard before, a timeless legacy with new beginnings and that’s a Fact!
