84. Cherie Currie - Legendary Vocalist of All-Girl Punk Band 'The Runaways'

84. Cherie Currie - Legendary Vocalist of All-Girl Punk Band 'The Runaways'

Author: Inspiring interviews with successful music industry experts May 22, 2016 Duration: 19:21

The Runaways are one of the most influential bands of the 70's- certainly the most influential all girl band of any era. And my guest today is the original lead vocalist of that group- the lovely Cherie Currie, and what a story she has to tell. Like I mentioned The Runaways basically rocked the music industry to their core with their attitude fueled performances and sexually explicit lyrics- all being fronted by a 15 year old Cherie Currie. They were wild, and drug fueled, and presented to the world as basically 'jailbait'! If you've seen the awesome film titled "The Runaways", which is partially based on Currie's brutally honest memoir then you'll know what I'm talking about. And if you haven't seen it – go see it!

Cherie is touring Australia in a few weeks so if you're interested her show dates are available in the show notes at: musicbusinessfacts.com!

I hope you enjoy my conversation with this living rock legend.
