A feature of 2009 was a brilliant show at Happy! Cherry's Gemstones colab with Pete Copeland (Thought Creature - Drums), Jonny Bongo (Kitten Tank and The Users - Guitar), Shona Lindsay (too amazing for words - Vocals), Hannah Cherry (Keys and Vocals), Noel (Cricket percussion player). This show also featured John the Baptist and Dallas and the Mannequins!
History look in.....
A road trip took Cherry and Ben to play Poverty Bay Club in Gisborne on Oct 4th 2008! Check pics from show by Brennan Thomas in photographs!
Post touring in February and March 2008 the groups main focus has been developing material for a debut album. The demo and selection process is under way and their is a lot of excitement about the diversity and range of songs. Mums the word mainly on this one, but you can look forward to something very different and nothing less than refined blood sweat and tears revealing something fresh with poignant appeal.
In 2007 Cherry's Gemstones performed at The Wellington and Auckland City art galleries as well as the Cortina Fest at Wellington San fran Bath House.
Cherry's Gemstones music likes to give social commentary, cultivate culture, communicate emotion and soul with a lively free spirited yet also reflective approach!
