Shower Curtain Takes the Cherry

Victoria Winter: One of my most memorable concerts was when I was 16 and saw Cherry Glazerr. I was on my summer break from my high school in Curitiba, Brazil and I was visiting my sister Samira in L.A., and taking a photography course. She told me about this all-ages festival that was going on called Penniback Fest.

After seeing a couple of sets, I stumbled upon the Cherry Glazerr set on the stage downstairs. The room was absolutely packed, and filled with energy…
