They were rock ’n’ roll heroines who blazed parallel trails in an era where female musicians were practically an oxymoron. But somehow they didn’t meet until more than 40 years into their respective careers.
Singer-drummer Brie Darling of Fanny and Runaways singer Cherie Currie were both in all-female bands, musical anomalies often enduring similar struggles and triumphs. But it wasn’t until 2018 that another member of Fanny, Patti Quatro, sister and onetime bandmate of iconic bassist Suzi Quatro, introduced the two when Darling was seeking backing vocalists for her album “Fanny Walked the Earth,” released that year.energy and charisma.
The #MeToo and Times Up movements have sparked widespread, often galvanizing change, but in this venture, Darling and Currie forgo dwelling on past wounds or joining existing crusades. “We really feel like we’re starting our own movement,” says Currie: “‘It ain’t over till it’s over.’ People who think that their lives are washed up, you’re just not, not until you take that last breath. Anything can happen.
In the Runaways, Currie was known for skintight jumpsuits and a white satin corset onstage; these days, she favors Southwestern chic — tight jeans, big belt buckles, chunky turquoise jewelry. Her medium-length hair is still blond, if tempered from her platinum youth. Darling dresses in colorful clothes she laughingly terms “ridiculous,” wears bright lipstick, and her hair is white on top with the bottom fringed in black.
“It was just for ‘Cherry Bomb.’ It’s so funny; I only wore it for three minutes, but everyone seems to think I wore it for the whole show,” she says. “It was just for that one song to propel it forward, and it worked.” Darling and Currie bring their hard-won perspectives to their new project. “The Motivator” features socially conscious classic rock covers, along with three intensely personal originals, all rendered with a cool combo of their paired voices and a spate of family and friends, including Currie’s sister, actress Sondra Currie; Darling’s brothers Henry and Phil Berry; and Patti Quatro.
The women have full lives apart from music and art. Darling has been married since 1993 to Grammy-nominated “Motivator” producer Dave Darling. Currie is close to her ex-husband, actor Robert Hays of “Airplane!” fame ,
