Coming soon to London and Liverpool: Los Angeles band, The Cherry Bluestorms

A ROCK-TIL-YOU-DROP-WELCOME to Los Angeles California based indie band, The Cherry Bluestorms.

The band is led by its founders ex-Dickies (Cool! - Ed) guitarist Glen Laughlin and A&M singer-songwriter Deborah Gee. Strongly influenced by late 60s British guitar-based pop, they released their self-produced debut album Transit of Venus, in 2007 to rave reviews, and the band is about to release their second album, Bad Penny Opera in time to play a series of gigs in Liverpool and London later this spring (check the RTYD Gig Calendar for details).

You can listen to three tracks from the Transit of Venus album on the band's RTYD music player, here.

Introducing new RTYD member Thomas Ferranti of California band Those Beasleys

Welcome to new ROCK-TIL-YOU-DROP member Thomas Ferranti of Los Angeles California originals band, Those Beasleys.

Those Beasleys was active in the 90s and recorded three albums of original music that sadly never saw the light of day. Each of the three main members of the band were singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, as well as visual artists, and were all public-access tv producers when they met.

The Beasleys were: Rev. Spike Beasley (Thomas Ferranti) Tex Beasley (Gary Wray) Sky Beasley (Mike Meadows) and sometimes Pancho Beasley (Dane Nelsen) Lovecraft Beasley (Andrew Schulsinger)
