"The Cherokees played a more subtle set of indie rock,
with a sound of early Stereophonics. The vocalist
showed a great range and delivered some thoughtful
lyrics, whilst the rhythm section was really tight. My
favourite was 'Boys Will Be Boys' which built up to a
crescendo and the crowd favourite. The audience
wanted an encore but time had run out."

The "Cherokees" are a four piece band based in the city of Sheffield. The name comes from the 1960's single "Three Wheels on My Wagon". A song sung to frontman Paul Fodor during his childhood by his late uncle and mentor...whom Paul argues is still the most important influence in his writing.
The Cherokees all grew up within close quarters of each other in the ex mining village of Thorpe Hesley, now a middle class paradise.
On their journey so far the Cherokees have had the pleasure of working with artists and producers Richard Hawley (Longpigs, Pulp) and ex-Stranglers frontman Hugh Cornwell. Cherokees have supported bands like The Killers, Longview, Morning Runner and Gene.

No problem. I think somewhere like the Green Room would be good. I hear you are doing a gig with The Reform, so ask them where is good to do a gig in Chezzie. They always play at good venues.
