NASTY CHERRY
Last year, Nasty Cherry made an explosive debut in the music industry with their very first single, Win, a power-pop rock anthem reminiscent of all-female supergroups such as The Donnas, HAIM and The Runaways. After a streak of excellent pop singles in 2019, it was announced that the group, which consists of singer Gabby Bechtel, drummer Debbie Knox-Hewson, guitarist Chloe Chaidez, and bassist Georgia Somary, were receiving their very own Netflix docu-series, I’m With The Band, which premiered on the streaming service in December.
“Even when we were pitching Netflix the show, I thought, ‘This can’t be right, this is not going to work out, they’ve made a massive mistake, why us?’” Georgia laughs over the phone. “I don’t think that I ever imagined personally that we would get that opportunity.”
The Big Brother-esque, five-episode series served as an origin story for the band, revealing how they came together at the hands of pop pioneer, Charli XCX. “She’s such a savvy businesswoman,” Debbie says of her mentor, “and she’s such a hard worker that you’re immediately put at ease, knowing that people are really going to work as hard for it as you are yourself.”
