Concert Review: Nasty Cherry Want Candy At Baby’s All Right
If Motley Crew did a crossover band with Josie And The Pussycats, it would be Nasty Cherry. At Baby’s All Right, they were cartoonish in fun and dangerous in swag. They promoted a colorful sense of mischief that reminded me of my Catholic, school-girl day; they were definitely the cool rebels that put “kick me” signs on the back of the meanest nun-teacher. Their ability to turn a a riot into a pop-fest won the crowd over.
Honestly, Nasty Cherry feels like it is headlined by four stars. The way each woman plays her instrument or backs lead singer Gabbriette is almost “Spice Girl level” of surreal fierceness. They come off strong, No BS, and determined to not have a single drop of hate in their Love’s wine. The result is a show that defines the safety in being wild. When you reveal the hypocrisies of how this world defines “normal” or “good,” you become a free, badass for love and, in a way, more virtuous. Maybe, that is why they tossed candy into the crowd? Good people!
Nasty Cherry – Win (Official Music Video)“Roses,” “Win,” and “Live Forever” were amongst what felt like a short set because it produced such a long fuse. Gabbrietta’s voice feels like the sparkler candles that you can never blow. She spears tiny lightnings into verses and brings a bright seduction to them. She is like a one-woman The Runaways; perfectly plotting every hand toss and eye glare that will keep the audience enraptured. Moreover, she reminded me of how crazy it is that each person gravitates to a certain style to emanate confidence.
Nasty Cherry – What Do You Like In Me (Official Music Video)I cannot see myself wearing cat eyes, leather pants, and a bra as a solid outfit. I could not picture myself rocking a guitar like a sledge-hammer and sticking out my tongue as if the air tasted like ice cream. Yet. Nasty Cherry did and they exuded a self-ownership and theatricality that felt cool. They did not mind being seen as wild, a little mad, and vibrantly poetic because they were self-empowering and bold, which made them a show to see again.
