Newfoundland native Cherie Pyne is currently a member of Montreal-based rock project Gardens of Heat. The band formed in 2009 when Pyne, Pamela Dwyer, Sheena Hoszko, and Anne Gauthier met as volunteers for Montreal's first Rock Camp for Girls. Now a tight group of friends and an even tighter band, Les GOH layer psychedelic delays and 3-way harmonies on heavy stoner riffs, with the intention of moving you to teary-eyed, elated headbanging.
Pyne has also released three solo albums in the last 5 years. La Marée Noire (2008), Little Springboard (2006), and her demo EP Slippery Rabbits (2005, a co-pro with Brian Borcherdt of Holy Fuck), are critically acclaimed for authenticity, heart-piercing lyrics, raw, dirty guitar riffs, and vulnerable, powerful vocals. The albums are available from Fred's Records online or can be mail-ordered from Pyne directly.
A magnetic figure and longtime frontwoman of indie rock and punk bands in her hometown St. John's, notably The Peep-holes and (Her Majesty's) Secret Cervix, Pyne also played accordion and saxaphone in The Harbourcoats, a project started by Constantines frontman Brian Webb with Mike Feuerstack of Snailhouse and Wooden Stars. Pyne also writes songs for indie film with musician/sound engineer Matthew J Thomson. Most recently they teamed up to write, record, and sync two beautiful folky numbers for Sherry White's CRACKIE, which debuted in 2010 to a four-star Globe and Mail review at the Toronto International Film Fest …
