Spencer P Jones - Wasn't Born Yesterday

I make no secret of the fact that I'm an admirer of the work of Spencer P Jones.

Before mixing his solo set, I requested that he play Wasn't Born Yesterday from his great album Fait Accompli. He was kind enough to play it. And of course I was bold enough to record it.

Enjoy

Bloody Hollies (USA) bust Australian Cherry

Where are all the rock n roll fans 'gathering' this weekend? At Cherry, of course!  The Bloody Hollies originally from New York now live in San Diego California. They dominate the genuine garage raw rock scene both in America and Europe where they have toured extensively throughout their stellar eight year career. Now, for the first time, The Bloody Hollies tour Australia on the back of their 4^th LP 'Yours Until The Bitter End' playing two shows only at Cherry Bar in AC/DC Lane Melbourne, this Saturday the 12^th and Sunday the 13^th of November supported by The Devilrock Four and Bitter Sweet Kicks. Tix $20 & $15 (on Sunday), only from the Cherry Door. If it's murder-themed blues/rock anthems that remind you of the 60s and 70s golden age of rock n roll that you crave, then The Bloody Hollies might just change your life. Cherry owner James Young who is touring the band says, "What can I say, I'm touring these guys, cos they're my favourite live band in the world and I want Melbourne to see them. End of story."

My Dynamite - Cherry's Wednesday Residency for November

We here at Cherry rate My Dynamite as one damn fine rock band. Think Faces, and Black Crowes. Featuring fabulous guitar work from Benny and Jorge, solid grooves, from Simo and Travis, and a lovable front man in the form of Pat.

They'll be playing Cherry every Wednesday, with support from The Working Horse Irons

Check out this youtube clip from a recent Espy show:

Uptown Ace

Featuring Ryan Kemp on Bass (Cherry Bar man, Rock City Riff Raff. Jonny Driver (Devil Rock 4) and Jimi Richardson (Devil Rock 4, Bugdust) Uptown Ace's Detroit style rock is well worth 45 minutes of your time.

Here they are bustin a nut on a Cherry Wednesday, supporting My Dynamite.

Welcome To The Cherry Blog

Cherry is pretty much the best rock n' roll Bar in the world.

Cherry Bar was founded in December 1999 by Cosmic Psycho and man about town Billy Walsh, who continues to DJ every Saturday at Cherry playing real rock n' roll.

Cherry is the only business located in world famous AC/DC Lane Melbourne (off Flinders Lane between Russell and Exhibition Streets) right in the heart of the Melbourne business district. A jewel in the junk heap or maybe an annoying boil on corporate arse cheeks?

Despite its modest 200 capacity Cherry is an internationally famous late night street rock n roll bar. Quality local acts play live (always finishing by 11.30pm), then DJs keep the joint jumping till the wee hours.

Cherry has become the destination for local, interstate and international bands to descend upon and party at after they've finished playing live themselves. We don't need to name drop. You never know who you might meet at Cherry.

The rear Jenni Bar is available for private parties.

Function and band booking enquiries should be directed to co-owner: jamesyoung@cherryrock.com.au
