Upcoming Live Bands
JUNE 13: JOHN WICKS (of TheRecords!) and PAUL COLLINS - Tune in to the Cherry Blossom Clinic to hear the legendary JOHN WICKS of THE RECORDS and PAUL COLLINS from the PAUL COLLINS BEAT! Two of the undisputed architects of 70’s power pop, John Wicks and Paul Collins have joined forces to play all their hits – including “Starry Eyes”, “Hearts Will Be Broken”, “Rock N Roll Girl” – in special stripped down arrangements. Catch them live at The Record Collector in Bordentown NJ on June 13th and at Kenny’s Castaways on June 15th, but be sure to check them out live on The Cherry Blossom Clinic first!
JUNE 20: JONNY CHAN & NEW DYNASTY 6 - The Cherry Blossom Clinic is psyched to present a live performance from the legendary Jonny Chan and the New Dynasty 6. Chan has been an underground legend on the garage scene for nearly two decades, mining their special brand of low-fi 60’s punky jangle rock – and occasionally singing in Chinese! So tune in to hear them crank out their Groovies/Kinks-inspired awesomeness Saturday June 20th from 3-6 PM!
JUNE 27: THE GOODNIGHT LOVING - The Goodnight Loving have been blowing minds and topping critics’ lists for the last couple years, and the Cherry Blossom Clinic is stoked to have them live in the studio June 27th. Hailing from Milwaukee, the Goodnight Loving combine the flawless songcraft and intensity of the Reigning Sound with a hard country kick to arrive at a place that it completely their own.
Check out the LIVE! page for in-studio photos of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Dirtbombs, Cobra Verde, and more past visitors to the Cherry Blossom Clinic.
