Having just returned from the Idjit Savant tour, The Dickies guitarist Glen Laughlin purchased one of the studios where the Idjit Savant album was recorded. Glen has gone on to produce tracks for The Dickies, movie star Heather Graham and CSI: Las Vegas. He has also produced indie artists such as Neil Ormandy, Reuben “Big Reub” Vigil and The Reloaders, The Ben Gunn Society, and The Greatcoats. Having landed a development deal with A&M which led to collaborations with Chris Lord-Alge and Mike Clink, Deborah Gee placed several songs from her debut solo album “Portal” in TV and films. She was looking for a collaborator for her next venture when she met Glen at a coffeehouse. They began working on what was to become The Cherry Bluestorms’ debut album, Transit of Venus. They formed a band and were spotted at their first show by a promoter, whereupon their second show was before a festival crowd in New Hampshire. TOV was noted as one of the top 100 indie albums of 2007 by IPO’s David Bash. TOV has been critically praised by L.A. Weekly, Glasswerk UK, Powerpopaholic, Not Lame, Absolute Powerpop and others, many singling out the bands’ version of the Beatles' "Baby, You're a Rich Man". “Violent Heart” from TOV and “A True Heart Wears A Thorny Crown” from their upcoming second album were placed in hit Stephen Cannell television shows. The band is nearly finished recording their second album, Bad Penny Opera. Deborah has also begun tracking her second solo album, Geeology, with Glen co-producing.
Man oh man... the time spent! I will come back and change the photo since it cut off our heads. I'll find another one that is more square. We hope you dig our page!
