The Roxy Club

THE POLICE and probably Chelsea support Cherry Vanilla

Cherry opened her set with SHAKE SOME ASHES; other songs were THE PUNK, I KNOW HOW TO HOOK, TULSA and MY LITTLE RED ROOSTER. Cherry wore her famous "LICK ME" shirt on that day.

An official live LP (with songs from various bands recorded at the Roxy in 1977) has got Stewart Copeland and Zecca on the cover! That's just an accident, because punks hated THE POLICE. So there's no THE POLICE music on the record... But that photo was taken after today's gig at the Roxy. You can clearly see the TAMA bass drum Stewart used and two different people on stage - the left one is Stewart.
