Cherry Vanilla - Venus D'Vinyl (1979/2011)

Actress, writer, poet and rock star Cherry Vanilla is arguably one of the most influential figures in the Anglo-American punk, glam art rock scene. In the 70’s, she’d become an underground actress and played the title role in Andy Warhol's Pork at The Roundhouse Theatre in London. This was followed by a two-year stint as David Bowie's PR lady and roles in three more plays in New York and Berlin. In '74 she self-published her book, Pop Tart Compositions and launched her career as a performing poet.
By '77 she was writing songs and touring Europe with her own rock band, which included Stewart Copeland and Sting of the Police.
She released two albums on RCA UK, Bad Girl and Venus d'Vinyl.
