HEY GUYS!
Check out our cover of The Runaways “Cherry Bomb”.
We are giving all of the proceeds from iTunes to Nikki Sixx’s charity for runaways.
Vote on which version you like better. We think our version blows away the original and the new version on “The Runaways” movie soundtrack.
We’re back at it again. Now we want Slash to perform on a song with us, and win $10k to Guitar Center among other bad ass prizes.
Thank You, Thank You for supporting us!.

Well, thanks (I guess) to a little Valentine’s Day website for voting “I Want You” by Scary Cherry and the Bang Bangs, #6 in their Top 40 Valentine’s Day Songs.
It is actually a very sweet song, unless you start listening to the lyrics too much and reading between the lines.
And I played saxophone on that song!!!!!!!!
Of course, grab the song on iTunes or Amazon, or on www.ValentineGiftIdea.net!!! It’s right there on their home page!

Cherry Bomb recording has had it’s snags, but we are working through it.
Some pics. It’s been a long day recoding drums and doing photos and video.
We have an audition coming up next weekend for a national television show and we have to play acoustic. Last night one of our acoustic guitars and an acoustic bass were stolen along with a bunch of my personal crap.
You don’t see a lot of acoustic basses, but if anyone has one we may be able to borrow for a few days, we would really appreciate it!
Thankfully, there wasn’t anything vintage or rare that can’t be replaced, aside from sentimental value.
If you happen to run across a black Takamine acoustic (EG series i think?) with a hard plastic case, or a black Ibanez 4 string acoustic bass in a pawn shop or on craigslist, please let me know. They may be accompanied by a backpack full of Panasaya shoelace belts, a wallet, two pairs of earphones, some sweet ass rock star clothes, a Canon Powershot camera, my favorite hoodie, a power inverter and phone charger.
I do NOT want donations or pity, or flowers in lieu of gifts, I just want to borrow an acoustic bass 
Please, don’t even say “I’m sorry” – Let’s not acknowledge the negative!
So now for the positive.
Today has rocked so far: I found a cheap replacement window for my truck, and I met some really interesting and positive ladies at Starbucks who sensed something was wrong and prayed extensively for me.They say they could see that my purpose in life is to bring positivity to people in dark places through music and that my possessions will be returned 100 fold. Then, they gave me a ring and four hand drawn portraits of Jesus. As well as $20 which I tried to refuse, but they shoved into my pocket.
Thanks Bang Bangers!

Bangers,
just posted a new gig on the gig calendar. i also just learned how to spell calendar!
We are playing at Sue Ellen’s in Dallas. This is a lesbian bar so i hear. I’m kind of nervous, this night has “tony is going to get beat up by a girl” written all over it.
We are playing with our friend Screaming Red, who are some hot punk rock chicks. Not sure if they are lesbians, but that could explain why they turned down a chance to fire my love pistol.
We are also going to let the Loosies join us for a one off version of Cherry Bomb by the Runaways.
21+ We go on at 9 sharp!

Yah yah, positivity and happy feelings and joy and all that stuff. Here’s a stupid video.
We have some black tshirts for sale in our online store once again.
These feature the original Scary Cherry and the Bang Bangs logo.
We have plenty of M, L, and XL, but we are already out of smalls. It’s like we live in Japan, everyone wants a small! Konichiwa. We also have a few womens cut shirts in XL and a few long sleeve shirts that aren’t listed in the store, email store @ scarycherry.com if you would like one.
These make a great Christmas gift for your grandparents, church minister of command in chief!
Just check out some of these review.
“After dawning my black SCABB shirt I feel like cranberry sauce on turkey day.” Brandon Bang Bang
“Without a SCABB shirt I am like a floor with no carpet, but with my Scabb shirt on, I feel like plush burbur meets 70’s shag.” Maggie Bang Bang
“this shirt sux, it makes me forget to use punctuations!” Mr. Rodgers Bang Bang
We were asked a while back if our song “Let’s Go” could be used in a documentary about heavily tattooed women called “Covered”. We said “Sure!”. Then they came back and asked if they could use one or possibly two more songs since they liked us so much.
We just got word that editing is done and the film will be coming out in mid February and will be in the Dallas Film Festival.
Can’t wait to see it, hopefully we can post video snips.
shit’s happenin yo!
