Cheridomingo

How did you get your name?
A friend was talking about Cherry Tomatoes, and someone thought he said "Cherry Domingos" the rest is history.

How did your band form?
I (Anthony) was in a failed band called Eagles & Anchors with our guitar player Adam. After it didn't workout we stopped playing for a while, missed playing with each other, and thus we started Cheridomingo with my cousin Alex and another friend of ours Mango.

What’s the best part of the local music scene where you’re based?
My favorite part about our local scene is the variety. Kids from Simi are kinda isolated away from L.A. so there isn't a ton of influence. Allows for more unique sounds.

Who would your dream collab be?
Our dream collab would be doing something with the cast of Game of Thrones.
​
What is it like working together?
Working together is exciting, interesting, frustrating, and extremely productive. Lots of strong ideas all the time- makes for great music.

What are some influences for your music? (i.e. books, art, politics, tv, etc.)
Influences for our band consist of... well honestly most of the songs i write are about movies, so I'll throw on Scott Pilgrim or Spider-Man 2 for some inspiration. Bands that inspire us would be Circa Survive, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Foo Fighters, G.B.C., My Chemical Romance, Radiohead.

When was your first show/gig?
Our first show was at White Oak Music & Arts in June of 2016! 

If you were going on tour, which country would you choose to travel to?
Easy, Japan.
