THE CHERRY BLUESTORMS
Having placed several songs from her debut solo album in TV and films, Deborah Gee was looking for a collaborator for her next venture. Glen Laughlin had been getting notice for his guitar style based on alternate tunings, developed as a result of a hand injury. He had been performing with punk pop legends The Dickies (A&M) and former The Pop frontman David Swanson (RCA) and producing other artists at his studio, Roundhouse Recording. After meeting at a coffeehouse, they began creating the signature sound of TCB. The band was spotted at their first L.A. show by a promoter, whereupon their second show was before a festival crowd in New Hampshire. The band subsequently played International Pop Overthrow (IPO) 2007 in Toronto Canada. 2008 saw the band playing for a capacity crowd at The Cavern Club, The Beatles’ home in Liverpool.
Currently recording the follow-up to their well-received debut, “Transit of Venus”, The Cherry Bluestorms are poised to make 2010 a watershed year. Transit of Venus was noted as one of the top 100 indy albums of 2007 by David Bash, with “Violent Heart” being placed by Stephen Cannell in one of his hit TV shows. Here’s what people are saying:
“It's worth tracking down the Cherry Bluestorms' 2007 CD, Transit of Venus (Roundhouse Recording), starting with a glittery makeover of the Beatles' "Baby, You're a Rich Man," which is blown up by ex-Dickies guitarist Glen Laughlin's crunchy, hard-bubblegum production and frosted with Deborah Gee's sweetly reproachful vocals. The tune sounds fresh again and would probably already be in television commercials everywhere if the duo had any connections. In their best original songs, such as "Fear of Gravity," Laughlin surrounds Gee's desperately yearning vocals with swirling arpeggios and doomy, dramatic descending chords. On "Daisy Chain," they get away with chanting giddy lyrics like "The moon and all the stars watch Venus dancing home to Mars" because there is real power in their power pop…” Falling James, L.A. Weekly
“Baby, You’re a Rich Man: Urgently kicks in with an unmistakably modern sounding edge that surely comes from its sharp mix/production quality. Daisy Chain: It's epic and it’s not just accessible, it’s enticing and by gad it ROCKS! Just a Kiss Away: A ‘Voice of the Beehive’ sounding track sneakily and delightfully approaches Jefferson Airplane territory with some kick-ass guitar and voluptuous vocals that all serve to show yet another dimension to the incredible TCB sound. It is what we’ve been waiting for! And to enjoy it thoroughly I have to recommend that you forget your neighbours and crank up the volume! (TCB) have produced something special here and I’m made grateful once more for my oh so precious, fully functioning ears! And to TCB too of course!” Ant Standring, Glasswerk UK
“I recently unearthed this "lost" gem of an album… "Transit of Venus" is a modern pop album with a well placed nod to the classic rock genre. Starting with a stellar cover of The Beatles' "Baby, You're a Rich Man," the duo of Deborah Gee and Glen Laughlin (The Dickies) add a nice psyche-pop touch to a full arena rock sound. They collaborate the style well on "Daisy Chain"… The rich production work and composition of "Here" bring to mind both Chrissie Hynde and Annie Lennox. The music leans less on the sixties influences by the albums' mid point and the great guitar work and Gee's smooth vocal approach continue on the gems "Violent Heart" and "While You Were Away." The male-female duet of Gee and Laughlin return with the excellent "Fear of Gravity." The songwriting overall is strong throughout the entire album, so no real filler either… it's both fresh and accessible, so give it a chance. Fans of Heart and Jefferson Airplane will also enjoy it thoroughly.” Aaron Kupferberg, Powerpopaholic.com
