Cherie Currie

70-talsikonen Cherie Ann Currie var medlem i rockbandet The Runaways i mitten av 1970-talet tillsammans med Lita Ford och Joan Jett.
Currie var sångare i bandet, men lämnade 1977 för att istället satsa på en skådespelarkarriär..
Hennes senaste soloprojekt är Blvds of Splendor från 2020, som innehåller samarbeten med några av rockens största.
Bland annat Billy Corgan från Smashing Pumpkins, Slash & Duff från Guns N' Roses, samt Juliette Lewis.
Även Brody Dalle, The Veronicas och trummisen Matt Sorum (Guns N' Roses och Velvet Revolver), som också producerade plattan medverkade.
Förvänta dig att höra The Runaways klassiker som "Cherry Bomb", "Queens of Noise", "Neon Angels (On the Road to Ruin)" och "Born to Be Bad."

“Cherie’s voice tells it all, she is the real deal. And now more than ever that voice tells the story of where’s she’s been in her life. This record is about who Cherie Currie is now. We’ve waited a long time to hear this icon of Rock N’ Roll do what she does best. I’m very proud to be a part of this album by one of the best female singers of all time.” said Matt Sorum.
Cherie & Matt originally began work on Blvds of Splendor when Cherie was promoting The Runaways movie (currently streaming on Netflix) which stars Dakota Fanning as Cherie and Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett. After its inception, Cherie went back to work on her chainsaw carvings (see here: CNN) and did other studio work for 2015’s Reverie release, which features some of the last works of legendary Runaways manager/producer Kim Fowley.
In 2016, Cherie was set to release Blvds of Splendor when she had a near death accident while chainsaw carving falling over 12 feet to the ground off of a hilltop scaffolding. The accident left Cherie with partial facial paralysis and severe head trauma for over 10 months. After her recovery, she met and went in the studio with Fanny drummer & vocalist Brie Darling and in 2019 they released their critically acclaimed The Motivator album via Blue Elan Records. Cherie is back to chainsaw carving again and is ready to finally release Blvds of Splendor. “I’ve never had so much fun making a record before. We all looked at each other and went, ‘Oh my God, there’s magic happening here” Cherie said.
Blvds of Splendor was released on 180 Gram Translucent Red Vinyl for Record Store Day in 2019 with a limited run of 3000 copies. This is the first time the highly anticipated album is available worldwide digitally for the fans. The digital release features three bonus tracks (including a remake of The Runaways classic “Queens of Noise” featuring Brody Dalle, The Veronicas, Juliette Lewis and Matt Sorum paying homage to late Runaways drummer Sandy West) that were not included on the Record Store Day vinyl release.
