They then took those tunes to producer Carlos de la Garza’s Music Friends studio in Eagle Rock, California, where they really started to hone the material that would become Stuffed & Ready. When it was time to track, Creevy, Allen, and O’Brien first went to San Francisco, where they cut a batch of songs with producer John Vanderslice at his analog Tiny Telephone Recording. ![]() And so, I was saving all of these little bits and pieces, all of these weird little links, that were going to become songs.” “Because we played 200 shows in 2017, I was often writing little bits and pieces on the road,” she explains. Lineup changes obviously present challenges, but it’s been evident from the band’s inception that Creevy’s confidence, vision, and fiercely idiosyncratic personality are the primary creative forces helming Cherry Glazerr.įor Stuffed & Ready, Creevy started compiling songs while on tour in support of Apocalipstick. Despite the outward heroics, internally, there were growing pains to endure, culminating with the departure of original bassist Sean Redman (now with the Buttertones), who has been replaced by Devin O’Brien. Pitchfork praised Apocalipstick’s “shredding jams, furious howls, and self-aware swagger”-an apt description for a work by a young, self-empowered, professed feminist eager to share her point of view with the world. The album further developed the dark, often-chaotic-yet-melodic sounds unleashed on Haxel Princess. “It just has a great flow to it,” she says.Īpocalipstick followed in 2017, on indie label Secretly Canadian, and included Creevy’s current drummer Tabor Allen, replacing her high-school friend Hannah Uribe. Those songs quickly caught the attention of Burger Records cofounder Sean Bohrman, who would later release Creevy’s full-length 2014 debut, Haxel Princess, under the moniker Cherry Glazerr, a name inspired by KCRW/NPR radio reporter Chery Glaser, because Creevy thought she had the perfect band name. Listening to Stuffed & Ready, it’s evident that the Los Angeles native has evolved and matured musically by leaps since she first wrote, performed, and uploaded a small batch of post-punk, garage-rock songs to SoundCloud in 2012 under the moniker Clembutt, when she was just 15. “I realized that I’ve developed a good ear over the past few years. “I think for the first time ever, I actually wasn’t surprised when I heard the music that I’d written.” Creevy is referring to the songs on Cherry Glazerr’s new album, Stuffed & Ready, and she adds that the process of writing and recording music was much easier than on previous releases. The bassist is yet to comment on the allegation.“You know what’s funny?” asks Clementine Creevy, in a way that reflects a self-awareness and self-assuredness that seems to transcend her years. She went on to call him a "narcissist and a predator" and accused him also giving her gonorrhoea by cheating on her, before adding, "It is heartbreaking and infuriating that young girls wanting to play music or see music should ever have to endure being sexualized (sic) by older male musicians in the scene - it is disgusting and it needs to end now."Īccording to The Brooklyn Vegan website, The Buttertones announced they were firing Redman in a statement posted on Instagram, which reads, "We do not condone Sean's behavior and he is no longer a member of The Buttertones," however, their account has since been deleted. He was emotionally volatile and selfish." "Sean Redman was 20 and I was 14 when he began a sexual relationship with me which is statutory rape," she continued. He also insisted on not using protection and gave me HPV. I remember feeling confused and uncomfortable that he was trying to have sex with me but I went along with it. "We eventually met up at his apartment where he, much to my surprise, had sex with me. I told him I was 16, to which he replied, 'Thats (sic) okay I still feel like a kid myself most of the time.' " He asked for my number and started texting me. In a statement posted on Instagram, Creevy referenced a post by a woman named Chloe Razink, in which she claims Redman met and had unprotected sex with her while she was unaware that he had a girlfriend nor that he had contracted the human papillomavirus (HPV).Ĭreevy went on to claim Redman had behaved in a similar fashion towards her, writing, "He and I met at a music workshop in Hollywood. Redman was a member of Cherry Glazerr from 2013 to 2016 when he left to focus on his other group The Buttertones, with Creevy, now 23, telling the Los Angeles Times in 2014 that she and the bassist, then 23 himself, were "dating." Cherry Glazerr frontwoman Clementine Creevy has accused the group's ex-bassist Sean Redman of "statutory rape" as they were in a sexual relationship when she was 14. ![]()
