Blvds of Splendor Cherie Currie

Limited 180 gram red colored vinyl LP pressing. Cherie Currie is an artist, singer, actress and author. At age fteen, she kicked o her unconventional career in The Runaways- the rst hard-edged all-female rock band- expanding boundaries for future female musicians at a truly singular time in music history. Cherie detailed her dynamic account of late 1970's teenage rockstardom in her memoir Neon Angel (It Books/Harper Collins), which inspired the 2010 feature lm The Runaways starring Dakota Fanning as Cherie and Kristen Stewart as bandmate Joan Jett. Her own notable lm and TV roles include Twilight Zone: The Movie, Keeping Up With The Kardashians and more. Since 2002, she has also become one of the foremost chainsaw artists worldwide. - Cherie's upcoming studio album BLVDS Of Splendor (Blackheart Records), produced by Matt Sorum (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver), is highly anticipated and spotlights many notable collaborators. Cherie's powerful and unmistakable vocals cut through every song, from the atmospheric yet commanding title track written by and featuring Billy Corgan, to "Mr. X," a guitar-driven rock 'n' roll number with Slash on guitar, Sorum on drums and Du McKagen on bass. Moments of Brody Dalle, Juliette Lewis and The Veronicas also punctuate Cherie's foothold in modern mass appeal, while the signature sound she established over four decades ago lives on simultaneously. After being thrust into the stardom at a young age, Cherie Currie continues to blaze through life with an uncommon edge.
