The Carlos Reside Steel TV YouTube channel has uploaded video of Cherie Currie‘s August 12 efficiency on the Houston Horror Movie Fest in Houston, Texas.

In a message accompanying the YouTube launch of the video, Carlos Reside Steel TV wrote: “There was no stay band so Cherie with a karaoke-style music enjoying on the background. It was nice to see her carry out nonetheless.”

This previous April, Cherie as soon as once more mentioned {that a} full reunion of iconic Nineteen Seventies rockers THE RUNAWAYS will now most likely by no means occur. Chatting with Marko Syrjälä of Steel Guidelines and SySi Media, Currie outlined her relationships with fellow former bandmates Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Jackie Fox and Sandy West and the earlier makes an attempt to get the band again collectively.

“I performed with all the women,” she mentioned. “I performed with Lita… And simply within the final decade. Lita, Joan… I all the time performed with Sandy [who died of lung cancer in 2006 at the age of 47], God relaxation her soul. Jackie… I performed with each member of THE RUNAWAYS individually. And even Lita will say, ‘Oh, I can work with Cherie.’ I imply, I am simple to work with. I simply wanna have enjoyable. However they… Lita hates [Joan‘s longtime manager] Kenny Laguna; that is by no means gonna change.”

Cherie defined that the probabilities of THE RUNAWAYS reuniting are very slim “as a result of Lita and Joan do not see eye to eye.” She added: “I actually hoped it will occur, however now I completely consider it is not going to… Until there is a miracle on Joan and Lita‘s facet, which I doubt. However I can not management folks. And it is too dangerous as a result of it might have been nice.”

Currie mirrored on the one time {that a} RUNAWAYS reunion virtually occurred greater than 25 years in the past, saying: Joan needed to do it. Lita approached me and Sandy again in 1997 and had us get Joan on board, and Joan mentioned, ‘Okay. Let’s do it.’ And Kenny went out of his means, acquired a report deal; we had been gonna ebook a tour. After which the primary phone dialog with all of us, Lita simply went fully off the rails and mentioned, ‘Nah, I am not doing this,’ as a result of she hates Kenny a lot. After which they made me name Lita, and Lita simply mentioned, ‘I am a family identify. I do not want this bullshit.’ I mentioned, ‘Please do it for Sandy West, Lita. Do it for Sandy.’ And he or she would not. And for that I’ll by no means forgive Lita. As a result of Sandy actually, actually might have used a lift. However persons are egocentric on this life. I do not know why persons are so self-consumed and so egocentric. However Lita was very egocentric when she did that and didn’t contemplate Sandy in anyway. And right here we misplaced her simply seven years later.”

When Syrjälä instructed Currie that Ford mentioned in a earlier interview that it was Jett who in the end determined towards a RUNAWAYS reunion, Cherie mentioned: “No, she’s mistaken. It was [Lita who decided against it] first. She introduced all of it collectively. She stopped it. After which Joan did not wanna do it [when it was brought up again later]. It is, like, you understand what, Lita… Lita was the one which began the entire thing. She ought to have adopted by way of, however she did not. And so she will’t blame Joan for that. Regardless that I am not one hundred percent on the ‘rah-rah, Joan‘ fan membership anymore, I name it the best way it’s. And Lita actually… She began it. We had been there. And he or she walked. So she has no proper to say something anymore.”

Six months in the past, Currie instructed “Waste Some Time With Jason Inexperienced” about the opportunity of a RUNAWAYS reunion: “Joan makes use of the excuse that we’re not youngsters anymore, we’re not THE RUNAWAYS anymore [as to why she doesn’t want to do it]. However to me, I believe it is extremely egocentric. You do issues for the followers, and once you begin considering that you just’re doing issues for your self after all these years of being profitable on this enterprise… I actually assume that each Lita and Joan owe it to the followers. However that is simply me.”

Cherie went on to say that she has “all the time been prepared” to participate in a RUNAWAYS reunion. “However I did not even contemplate such a factor till Lita reached out to me in ’97 and requested me and Sandy to speak Joan into it,” she defined. “And we did. After which proper once we had the report deal and the tour and all the things that Kenny had put collectively, Lita walked. Simply from one dialog. We had a convention name with me and Sandy and Joan and Lita and Kenny, and Lita simply could not stand listening to the sound of Kenny‘s voice, and she or he simply mentioned, ‘ what? I am out.’ And that was it. After which she got here again once more after THE RUNAWAYS film, [and then] Joan says, ‘No. I do not wanna do it.’ And it is simply loopy, as a result of it is the identical bullshit that I went by way of with these ladies once I was a young person. It is simply form of, like, ‘Wow.’ I do not know what to say; I simply do not. It is irritating as a result of I do know it will have been wonderful to do. And it is irritating. You’ll be able to’t make folks do one thing they do not wanna do.”

Currie added: “I’ve stood on that stage as an grownup in my late 50s… with Lita, and with Joan as nicely, and it was actually like time had stopped each time I had gotten on stage with these two. It is simply too dangerous we might by no means have achieved it collectively, ‘trigger it will have completely been wonderful.”

The primary true woman band of the Nineteen Seventies, THE RUNAWAYS toured internationally and made a dent within the charts earlier than calling it quits on the finish of that decade.

In November 2018, Ford instructed the Every day Mail {that a} reunion of THE RUNAWAYS will most likely by no means occur. She defined: “Joan Jett may be very a lot in ‘Joan Jett land,’ I assume you can say. Will she ever come out of Joan Jett land? I do not assume so. I believe her supervisor controls that and it is actually as much as him and her. It appears to me like Joan Jett‘s supervisor simply runs her life in each means, form, or type. He is very controlling and he has an actual downside with me. He has an actual subject with me. He sees me as a menace, which is ridiculous, as a result of she’s like my sister and I like Joan. It is ridiculous, it is uncalled for, and it is prompted a bit little bit of rivalry between her and I, which is completely uncalled for. It is his fault.”

Ford claimed that Jett‘s supervisor has prevented her from even speaking a couple of RUNAWAYS reunion with Jett.

“The arduous half is simply attempting to speak with Joan with out her supervisor concerned,” she added.

“We had dinner a few years in the past, what was purported to be a woman’s night time out, and she or he introduced her supervisor together with her.

“So it is like, “Dude, reply the query. I am attempting to ask you a query. Are you curious about placing THE RUNAWAYS again collectively?’ She by no means answered the query.”

In a 2015 interview with the WHMH (Rockin’ 101) radio station, Lita defined that she determined towards a potential RUNAWAYS reunion within the early ’90s as a result of “NIRVANA was simply kicking in, and it was actually dangerous timing; it would not have labored. Individuals would have simply turned their nostril up at it.”

A film about THE RUNAWAYS‘ temporary historical past, starring Dakota Fanning as Currie and Kristin Stewart as Jett, got here out in 2010.
