Scary Cherry and the Bang Bangs is an American punk, hard rock band from Dallas, TX. They are led by Scary Cherry (aka Lezlie Deane), who is an actress who has appeared in horror films like 976-EVIL (1989), Girlfriend from Hell (1990), and Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991).
She was also once a member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and a roller derby girl for the Dallas Derby Devils, an all-female league. Now, she’s in this band, whose members describe themselves as “the glitter punk love child of Alice Cooper and Joan Jett.” Yeah, but only if that child was raised by Gary Glitter, then kidnapped by The Misfits. Their full-length debut, “Girl,” released in 2013, was preceded by an EP, “Limited Edition EP,” in 2009, and a single, “Cherry Bomb,” in 2010. Yes, that single is a badass cover of The Runaways‘ classic. Good band, nothing more, nothing less. Watch videos of “Don’t Wanna” and “Girl” from the album, and “Let’s Go” from the EP here:
