- Cherry Bombz performing in 1986 at the One Step Beyond in Santa Clara, CA.
Band members included guitarists Andy McCoy and Nasty Suicide (of Hanoi Rocks), vocalist Anita Chellamah (ex- Toto Coelo), drummer Terry Chimes (ex- The Clash / Generation X / Hanoi Rocks / Black Sabbath), and bassist Dave Treguna (ex- Lords Of The New Church / Sham 69 / UK Subs).
What was most memorable about this show was watching Andy McCoy's swaggering guitar playing style. His look and feel were reminiscent of early punk rockers, 1970s glam rockers, a good portion of Keith Richards, and some of the earlier edgy blues players. This was what defined "guitar hero" - not in speed and educated precision "technique," but rather the feel and emotion of the instrument. Along with Anita's gypsy vixen look and strong voice, the whole band complemented each other.
