Black Cherry

Last month I volunteered at Oxjam Festival Chiswick. As my role was venue co-ordinator, I got to meet all the artists who were playing at my venue, which was pretty cool. My favourite band of the whole day had to be Black Cherry. They were probably one of the more famous bands playing, which you could tell just by being in the lead singers presence, but she was very cool and the guitarist was extremely pleasant.

I couldn't find much about them on the internet, but all you really need to know is they are a three piece and are awesome! On iTunes I could only find 4 songs to download, Radio, Control, Cops and Robbers and Insecure. However, if you go on their myspace, you can watch videos for loads of their other songs. Their style of music is electro, with catchy beats, and an incredible voice on the lead singer.  At the end of their set at Oxjam they played their own version of 'Pump Up The Jam', which was amazing.

They have been around for a few years, which upsets me as I think they should definitely deserve to be bigger! One of my largest let downs being a music fan, is when bands don't sound half as good when they play live, this however is not the case with Black Cherry. They definitely had everyone in the crowd moving, and I found it very hard to tear myself away and continue working!
After their set I spoke to their manager, who said unfortunately they didn't have any UK dates arranged at the time, however I'm going to keep my eyes extremely peeled, and so should you!
