Comments: Biography by Jason Ankeny
A cult waiting to happen, musician and performance artist Peter Ivers was born in Boston in 1946. During the mid-1960s, while studying political science at Harvard University, he launched his performing career playing harmonica in the local band Beacon Street Union, one of a number of Boston-area psychedelic bands influenced by San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury scene. Signing to MGM, Beacon Street Union issued the little-noticed LP The Clown Died in Mervin Gardens before dissolving; Ivers then surfaced as a member of the Street Choir before mounting a solo career. He signed to Epic in 1969 to issue Knight of the Blue Communion, certainly one of the strangest major label releases of its time--combining rock with classical instrumentation (oboe, contrabass and bassoon) and electronics (an intermodulator), the disc also featured opera singer Yolande Bevan, profoundly spiritual lyrical themes and, to top it all off, Ivers own piercingly nasal vocals. Suffice to say it was not a hit, and a second Epic LP, Take It Out on Me, was completed but shelved by the label; only a single, "Ain't That Peculiar," ever saw commercial release. Signing to Warner Brothers in 1974, Ivers and his co-producer, free-jazz bassist Buell Neidlinger, delivered Terminal Love, which at times suggests the work of Captain Beefheart--indeed, Magic Band/Frank Zappa collaborator Eliot Ingber appears on several tracks. A self-titled album for Warners followed in 1976, and a year later Ivers earned arguably his most enduring fame, writing and recording "In Heaven (The Lady in the Radiator Song)" for David Lynch's classic film Eraserhead. (The song was later covered by another Boston act of some note, the Pixies.) A 1980 single, "Love Theme from Filmex," closed out his recording career, and during the early 1980s, Ivers hosted New Wave Theatre, broadcast on the fledgling USA cable network as part of their Friday evening Night Flight anthology--the series provided the first (and in some cases only) national TV exposure for Los Angeles area bands like the Blasters, Dead Kennedys and dozens of others. With his outrageous wardrobe, philosophical interview questions and rapid-fire social commentaries, Ivers was a most unconventional host, and many of the artists featured on the show made their distaste for him painfully clear. Sadly, when Ivers was bludgeoned to death in his L.A. apartment in 1983, many suspected the murderer was a member of the local punk scene. Ivers' killer was never found, but in his memory, Harvard University initiated the Peter Ivers Visiting Artist Program. The retrospective Nirvana Peter appeared on WB in 1985.
