Brain Surgeons were an American rock band featuring Albert Bouchard formerly of Blue Öyster Cult and vocalist Deborah Frost. Guitarist Ross the Boss was a later member of the band.[1]

They formed in 1994 and originally centered on the nucleus of Bouchard and Frost. In 1995, the lineup expanded to include Billy Hilfiger, Peter Bohovesky and David Hirschberg. Hilfiger was later diagnosed with brain cancer and died in 2001.[2][3] Bohovesky left the band by 2003. In 2006, Brain Surgeons released their final studio album, Denial of Death, featuring Ross the Boss, and disbanded later that year.
