For the music loving READERS amongst you, here is our announcement of the full line-up for CherryFest2013... Monday 26 August Cherry Bar Media Release The Powder Monkeys Put Cherry on Top of CherryFest 2013 Cherry Bar has confirmed THE POWDER MONKEYS as its headline local act for CherryFest and has also secured BLUES PILLS from Sweden. Locals, MONEY FOR ROPE, THE SWEETHEARTS, DEAD RIVER and SHERIFF have also been added to the esteemed AC/DC Lane Festival’s coveted line-up. Cherry Bar co-owner and Booker James Young talks us through the additions, “With Tim Hemensley tragically passing away a decade ago now, I never thought we’d ever see THE POWDER MONKEYS play again, but The Tote hosted the gig of the year Hemensley anniversary and we got to see John Nolan and Timmy Jack Ray joined by a collection of lead singers paying homage to the incredible legacy of this incredible tough-as-nails pub rock band. Now, the band has agreed to do it one more time and this time, absolutely nail it, with just two or three amazing guest singers. This is the best news ever about any Festival I’ve ever hosted or even been to. The Powder Monkeys last hurrah at CherryFest in AC/DDC Lane! What a coup. “And we’ve also scored the first Australian show for BLUES PILLS from Orebro Sweden who have recently signed to Nuclear Blast and with their psychedelic blues rock sound and enigmatic female lead singer Elin Larsson, have attracted comparisons to Janis Joplin. ‘Nuff said. “MONEY FOR ROPE with their two drummers and frenetic soul garage energy are finally officially on their way, so great to have them back to their old stomping ground. There will be good time rock n roll from three-piece SHERIFF and sonic psychedelia from Bindi, Bonnie and Shaunagh from DEAD RIVER. “And in a unique and truly wonderful feature of CherryFest 2013, there will be more female musicians performing on the stages than male with The BellRays, Crown of Thorns, The Mercy Kills, Blues Pills, Dead River and finally THE SWEETHEARTS, the 25-piece all-teenage all-girl soul act from Motor City, Geelong. This year at Cherry Fest there will be as much oestrogen as there is VB flowing down the cobblestones of AC/DC Lane.” CherryFest 2013 The BellRays (USA), The Powder Monkeys, Kadavar (Ger), Blues Pills (Swe), Chris Wilson’s Crown of Thorns, Money For Rope, The Legends of Motorsport, The Sweethearts, Dead River, Sheriff, The Mercy Kills, The Deep End and Hoss.
