The Plastic Cherries began as a home recording project between couple Shelby & Joe Maddock, making songs on old tape machines inspired by glam, soft rock, shoegaze, Elliott Smith, and their dog. These songs became their first album, Sunshine, available on LP & cassette.
With pianist Natalie Hamilton, drummer Wayne Burdick, and bassist Stephen Cox, they have grown into a charismatic act that channels the theatrics and pop sensibility of their heroes while still feeling experimental and homemade.
“The Plastic Cherries are mesmerizing. They will take you back to the future, and to a time beyond – where rock has had a meaningful pop resurgence and everything feels new again.” - Provo Music Magazine
Emerging from Salt Lake’s growing scene, they have shared festival stages with Pixies, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Dinosaur Jr., Blonde Redhead, among others.
Their new album The Plastic Cherries On The Moon tells a psychedelic story of escape and return, beginning with the anthemic single Lovers On The Run. The album features collaborations with SLC producer Denney Fuller of The Mellons and guest mixing from Chris Cohen. Both playful and earnest, “…On The Moon” is an expansive sequel to their lo-fi debut inspired by Ziggy Stardust, Rocky Horror, Exile On Main Street & The B-52’s.
