About The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs
After a decade of hibernation, legendary Los Angeles rawk ‘n’ roll firebrands The Streetwalkin Cheetahs reunited in 2014 to hit the road and take their beer-soaked, fist-pumpin’ hard rockin’ action to the people. Lead by founding members Frank Meyer (vocals, guitar), Dino Everett (bass), Mike Sessa (drums) plus guitarist Bruce Duff (ADZ, 45 Grave, Jeff Dahl) and sax player Geoff Yeaton, the Cheetahs released its first album in 2021 in the form of "One More Drink" on Dead Beat Records.
Back in the day, the band toured the world, recorded over 10 albums for iconic indie labels such as Triple XXX and Bomp!/Alive, appeared on over 100 compilations, soundtracks and tribute albums, and were critical darlings, receiving rave press in Rolling Stone, Spin, Alternative Press, Flipside, LA Weekly, and all the hip ‘zines and weeklies. Along the way, they scooped up a slew of New Times awards, collaborated with punk legends such as Wayne Kramer (MC5), Cherie Currie (The Runaways), Sylvain Sylvain (New York Dolls), Jimmy Zero (Dead Boys) and Deniz Tek (Radio Birdman), and shared stages with such acts as The White Stripes, Queens of the Stone Age, Turbonegro, Supersuckers, Nashville Pussy, Reverend Horton Heat, Fishbone, Fear, John Frusciante, and countless others. And right before his untimely passing, Joey Ramone declared them his favorite band…ironic, considering a few years later Cheetahs frontman Meyer co-wrote the book On the Road with the Ramones.
Following the 2014 "Escape From New York City/Fuck the Future" 7" vinyl single on Little T&A Records/Big Cartel, the Cheetahs issued its first full-length album in two decades in 2021, the critically acclaimed "One More Drink" on Dead Beat Records. The band is hitting the road to support the effort as venues open up again post COVID.

It promises to be a real Newcastle Riverside Revisited special gig.
