Wed Mar 03 2010 | CHERRY VANILLA'S BOOK LICK ME OUT IN 2010

The Police CDs at eBay USA | eBay UK | eBay DE

Cherry Vanilla's book entitled "Lick Me" will be out on November 1, 2010. Her story will end with The Police in April 1977 (20 pages are dedicated to her time with The Police).
Cherry Vanilla (born Kathy Dorritie) is a publicist, singer-songwriter and early 1970s Glam rock star. She has worked as David Bowie’s publicist and previously also performed in Andy Warhol's stage show Pork. Vanilla was the first female to front a rock band on the NY scene, ahead of Patti Smith and Blondie. Her high profile in NY was the impetus for Miles Copeland to invite her to England, using her as allure to attract attention to the then unknown band, The Police. The Cherry Vanilla Band consisted originally of bassist Gordon "Sting" Sumner and drummer Stewart Copeland.

The rather cheesy (and actually bad) remake of" We are the world", recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios), namely "We Are The World 25 For Haiti" was released. Anyway, it is for a good cause... we couldn't spot Sting though.

Thu Feb 04 2010 | STING IN DO IT AGAIN

Sting CDs at eBay USA | eBay UK | eBay DE

Geoff Edgers is a newspaper reporter fearing the onset of his 40th birthday when he decides to find the surviving members of the Kinks – and convince them to reunite. The words ‘Tall’ and ‘Order’ come to mind, but also the words ‘Sunny’ and ‘Afternoon’ – just one of the many beautiful tracks from an impressive back catalogue. Despite the difficulty of the task, Geoff secures meetings with other Kinks fans including Sting (he plays "She really loves me" and another Kinks number), REM guitarist Peter Buck and Zooey Deschanel. The film is made by the capable hands of Robert Patton-Spruill, who also made the Public Enemy documentary, Welcome to the Terrordrome.
