Last Friday (August 30th 2013), I had the pleasure of seeing her play with her solo band as an opening act to Danzig at the Gibson Amphitheatre. At a show where none of the other bands on the lineup impressed me, Cherie put on a great show and proved herself as a true singer and performer. A couple of days after the show, I called her up for a phone interview to talk about that show and everything else she&#8217;s musically up to these days. It was quite a lovely conversation and an absolute honor.\u00a0I aired the 18-minute interview on Episode 3 of the new Metal Assault radio show on Razor KXRZ in the live broadcast last Wednesday September 4th 2013, and now the podcast version of the entire episode is posted here. The Runaways\/Cherie Currie segment begins at exactly the 44:30 mark.
