Cherielynn Westrich

Cherielynn Westrich is an American musician, songwriter, and politician. She was a founding member of both the Rentals and Supersport 2000, and later part of The Slow Signal Fade. She was associated with the musical community around Poop Alley Studios.
==Career==
Westrich played synthesizers and sang on Return of the Rentals. In an interview with Glorious Noise in 2001, Westrich claimed that Matt Sharp initially asked her to pretend to be in the band to meet with record executives before eventually being asked to sing on the album. Westrich also criticized Sharp for taking most of the credit for the album. Westrich wrote the lyrics and melody to the song "My Summer Girl" (a reworking of an earlier Rentals demo, "I Don't Love This, Babe") but did not receive official credit for it on the album's packaging, claiming that Sharp also received all songwriting royalties. Matt Sharp commented on this later in an interview, claiming that Westrich always had official publishing credit, stating "I was really trying to make the credits and the layout really clean and precise and not full with thank-you’s and all sorts of things, which was a mistake on my part", adding "In no way did I ever mean to hurt her, I was just a dumb kid who over looked something because I was so concerned with not having anything in the credits." Sharp subsequently credited her on the band's official website and mentioned her contribution during live performances of the song.
Westrich was the main songwriter and vocalist of the short-lived band Supersport 2000 (with Rentals alums Rod Cervera and Mike Fletcher). The band put out only two small-release EPs, despite recording more material.
===After music===
After her career as a musician, Westrich pursued her passion for cars, appearing on 10 seasons of the reality television show Overhaulin'. She ran unsuccessfully for the Iowa State House of Representatives in 2018 as a Republican, but ran again in 2020 and won the seat.

Cherry Berry

"Cherry Berry" (or "Cherri Berri") is a song by Rivers Cuomo
==Overview==
"Cherry Berry" was written and recorded by Rivers Cuomo during demo sessions at TK Productions & Rehearsal Studios in Los Angeles in June or July of 1998.Weezer Recording History - Page 10 As part of the TK series of demos, "Cherry Berry" received "TKX-15" as its numerical label. In a Weezerpedia Discord Q&A session, Karl Koch describes this demo as "very rough, one track, one take".Weezerpedia Discord Q&A with Karl Koch. July 6, 2024.
Weezer worked on the song during full-band sessions in the summer of 1998, but a mixed-down demo does not exist. "Cherry Berry" was seemingly left behind with the rest of the 1998 songs when Weezer returned from hiatus in early 2000. However, "Cherry Berry" was considered for inclusion on The Green Album during pre-production. 
According to Karl Koch, "[Cherry Berry's return was] Pat and Mikey saying "that song ruled why did we forget about it"? It's a rocker, I don't disagree it deserved fresh attention." The song did not make the cut for the Green Album.
Rivers' demo of the song was not included with the release of Alone VI: The Black Room. According to Rivers, he could not find a copy of the recording, though a copy of it does exist in Karl Koch's archives. When asked during a June 16, 2021 discussion in Riverchat if he could play the song during a hypothetical solo acoustic show, Rivers said "I could do that but it would be acoustic. Actually you've never heard the song so you don't know how strange that seems."

The only girl for me is Cherry
A love so strong one day we're gonna marry
But you got me hypnotized oh so mesmerized
Oh, Cherry, why ya' doing this to me?
And I love my Cherry oh-so much
Strangely enough she's my Cherry Crush
And I love my Cherry oh-so much
Strangely enough she's my Cherry Crush
Every day when I wake up it's Cherry
But she's had every guy that I know except for Gary
When you won't take my calls
And I'm locked outside your walls
Oh Cherry, why ya' doing this to me?
And I love my Cherry oh-so much
Strangely enough she's my Cherry Crush
And I love my Cherry oh-so much
Strangely enough she's my Cherry Crush
Boots right up to her thighs
She's got me hypnotized
The room lights up when she's there
You've got me down on my knees
Beg my Cherry, please
Give your love to me
And I say "Cherry, you sure make a beautiful girl"
She said "It's hard being pretty in an ugly world"
And I love my Cherry oh-so much
Strangely enough she's my Cherry Crush
And I love my Cherry oh-so much
Strangely enough she's my Cherry Crush

== Lyrics ==
Chess is such a difficult game
With so many pieces
So many squares where you can go
So few promises
Never you mind all the others
Anticipating your next move
I know it's hard
'Cause you got a lot to do
Street signs and traffic lights
Ever confusing the issue
Stop left, go right, no U-turn
Where's the goddamn exit?
Never you mind all the others
Influencing your next move
I know it's hard
'Cause you got a lot to prove
La la la
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
The pieces lie right before you
This puzzle can't be done wrong
So come on while you can
Never you mind all the others
Anticipating your next move
Never you mind all the others
Never you mind what they do
Don't let them get you down 'cause if they do
You'll be trapped forever under their shoe
Here is a paintbrush so go
I know it's hard
'Cause you've got a lot to do
La la la

ChickClick.com interview with Mikey Welsh - July 28, 2000

Don't Call It a Comeback
By Beatrice Springborn
Weezer, the alt-rock group that made geek chic, is back.
The band hasn't put out an album since 1996's Pinkerton, but they're still as popular as they were during their Grammy Award-winning "Buddy Holly" period (remember the Happy Days-style video?) in 1994.
Now touring the U.S. with the Warped crew and solo, the group is trying out fresh songs for an album due out in early 2001 and a new band member, bassist Mikey Welsh.
Weezer also has an opportunity to put to rest some of the Internet rumors that have cropped up in their four-year absence: that lead singer Rivers Cuomo is married to Lisa Loeb; the band members are married and have kids; and Weezer is a premade boy band just like ‘NSYNC.
Truth be told, Weezer is just four guys who rock 'n' roll. And for being out of the spotlight for so long, they still have a zealous following. Fans mob them at shows, and other bands, like the Deftones and the Bloodhound Gang, have paid tribute by covering their songs. Sugar Ray even wrote a song about Cuomo, called "Rivers," for the Scream 2 soundtrack.
The fans outside the band’s show at the Crest Theater in Sacramento, Calif., are surprisingly young. Most of these kids were 12 when Pinkerton came out and in elementary school when Weezer was released in 1994.
Nicki, 19, hangs outside the theater with a group of friends. For her, the group is a part of her past.
"I hear all their songs," Nicki says, "and it takes me back to eighth grade and freshman year. They were so catchy and had such a new sound. And they still sound new."
Weezer sound fresh because they aren’t just a one-trick pony. They can play crowd-pleasing hits like "Buddy Holly" and "Undone - (The Sweater Song)," and then bust out with a sad, powerful chorus like the one on "Why Bother?"
And new bassist Welsh supplies the band with a jolt of rock ’n’ roll energy. He replaces original member Matt Sharp, who left to do his own thing with The Rentals.
Welsh, who is covered in tattoos, looks a little harder than the rest of the band, but it's all show. He used to play with Juliana Hatfield.
Karl Koch, Weezer's roadie extraordinaire and close friend, has been with the band since early 1992 and is considered the fifth member of Weezer.
"Welsh gets pretty wild at times but is very gentle at heart," Koch says.
And Welsh may be the kick that Weezer needs to get their new songs recorded and promoted. Koch says he was a natural choice to replace Sharp, because "he rules on bass, he plays old Fenders, he isn't an asshole, and he only wants to record and tour — nothing else. He gets a little moody when there’s too much time off."
Welsh sat down with us before the group's Sacramento show and gave us the scoop on Weezer’s whereabouts, fans, and R&B.

Chopper One

:This page is about the band. For the eponymous album, see Chopper One (album)
Chopper One was a rock band from Los Angeles formed by former Weezer guitarist Jason Cropper with his then-wife Amy Cropper.
==Overview==
After Cropper's short-lived position as the guitarist for 22 Jacks, he taught his then-wife, Amy Cropper how to play bass guitar in their Los Angeles home following her pregnancy with their first child. The two recruited a good friend of Cropper's, Darrin Pfeiffer, as a drummer and subsequently formed a band called "Braxton Hicks"https://www.allmusic.com/artist/chopper-one-mn0000774528/biography (named for womb contractions experienced during pregnancy). After a short period of time, Pfeiffer left Braxton Hicks to join the alternative-ska band, Goldfinger.
In the autumn of 1995, Cropper and his wife found a replacement drummer, Tyrone Rio. The band then decided to change their name to "Chopper One". The band's name was taken from the short-lived 1974 television series of the same name.
Chopper One released an indie single titled Free Lunch in 1995, followed by their debut album Now Playing in 1997. The song, "I Like You" appeared on the tribute album, Hear You Me! A Tribute to Mykel and Carli in 1998 due to Mykel and Carli Allan's generosity towards the band. In 1997 the Allan sisters assisted in creating the Chopper One fan club, although the fan club was never launched in full due to the deaths of the Allan sisters.
Chopper One's lineup changed after drummer Tyrone Rio left in 1998, with Troy Zeigler playing drums and Dallan Baumgarten joining as a guitarist. The band began writing new songs together after the first album, but due to budget cuts from their record label, Chopper One's debut album was reissued as a self titled album featuring a new cover and single, "A Punk Named Josh".
The band is known to have played several shows during 1997 and 1998 in both California and New York City with other up-and-coming bands at the time, such as Ozma and Kara's Flowers.
Chopper One disbanded in 1999 as a result of complications between the band and their record label, Restless Records. Cropper has continued various writing, recording, and production projects in the years since. In 2021, Cropper said of the group's disbandment:

__NOTOC__ 
==Bio==
CHOPPER ONE fly on high-octane pop-rock, saturating their songs with the maximum amount of hooks, melodies and harmonies per square inch. In their music, grown-ups celebrate kid memories with unashamed teenage-anthem power.
The band was founded by Jason Cropper, in Hollywood in the Spring of '95, with his wife Amy. Previously, Jason was an original member of WEEZER, but left while recording their debut album. He then taught Amy to play bass while they were expecting their first baby, and the band Braxton Hicks (who appropriately took their name from the term for early labor contractions) was born. After their original drummer Darren left to join the group GOLDFINGER, they reformed as the three-piece CHOPPER ONE.
With both Jason and Amy writing the songs, Jason on lead vocals and guitar and Amy covering harmonies and bass, the line-up became complete with the addtion of drummer Tyrone Rio in the Fall of '95. The band released an independent single on Side One/Dummy at the end of the year, and was featured on the L.A. compilation album HUSH in early ‘96. Jason also played, sang and co-wrote (along with Amy) on the album by 22 JACKS, (currently on the Warped tour) and produced an album for Time Bomb recording artists CRUMBOX.
The band signed to Restless Records and recorded their full-length debut Now Playing with Don Fleming producing (Hole, sonic youth, The Posies, Teenage Fanclub, dinosaur jr.) and Tim Palmer mixing (David Bowie, Pearl Jam, Sponge). The first radio single “Touch My Fuzz” is featured in the new video directed by Jeff Gordon (Reel Big Fish).
As they prepare to tour behind the release of the album, Chopper One has added Steve Garvy as second guitarist. Their live shows combine the edgy pop perfection of vintage Cheap Trick or the lush harmonies of The Beach Boys with the simple, supercharged power of The Who or even Nirvana. With thoughtful songcrafting, instantly hummable hooks and gang vocal choruses that force you to chant along, they tell stories of homicidal neighbors, mysterious fuzz and the grade school free lunch program. With propellers at full churn, CHOPPER ONE is quickly gaining altitude.
