Bio

\\n

Amongst a music scene filled with pretense, Rotten Cheri keep it simple by writing irresistible, hook laden songs infused with a sense of fun and sensuality that is resonating with a new and expanding base of fans. The Brooklyn, NY rock trio\\u2019s new album, 02, is both a statement of purpose and a labor of love that required some very real sacrifices to be made on the band\\u2019s part.
The seeds of Rotten Cheri were planted with the partnership of guitarist/keyboardist Kee Chung and drummer Howard Alper. The two were playing together when Howard became friendly with co-worker Stephanie St. Hilaire, who would soon become Rotten Cheri\\u2019s vocalist. Recounts Howard, \\u201cSteph and I were working at the same gym together and she knew I was working on a project with Kee. She kept bothering me at work, telling me that she could sing. She was so relentless about it that finally we had her rehearse with us \\u2013 and she was perfect.? Kee and Howard immediately asked Stephanie, a California native, to join the band.

\\n

The beauty of Rotten Cheri is that they are the perfect mixture of lightness and darkness \\u2013 dark enough to have depth and resonance that one can sink into, light and catchy enough that one can forget about the darkness and just sing along to their irresistible melodies and choruses. The band is now working to take their music and career to the next level \\u2013 to an indie label, to music conferences and to film and television. The more that this band\\u2019s music is exposed, the brighter their future will be.
