The Plastic Cherries began as a home recording project between couple Joseph and Shelby Maddock, making songs on old tape machines that betray an affection for glam, soft rock, shoegaze, Elliott Smith, and their dog. The first iteration of their homemade pop innocence, the album Sunshine, combines the fun and experimentation of 70’s glam rock with a dreamy DIY approach.

Together with bandmates Wayne Burdick (drums), Stephen Cox (bass), and Natalie Hamilton (keyboards), they can be found performing regularly in the Salt Lake City area with periodic tours of the Western U.S. A second album is in the works—a sequel to Sunshine inspired by the band’s live presence. The glittery theatrics of their show are sure to leave you sparkling the next day.
