Cherry Twister

Cherry Twister was a power pop band consisting of musicians Steve Ward, Ross Sackler and Michael Giblin. The band began early 1993 from the ashes of Harrisburg-based band 23 Skidoo which included Steve Ward, Ross Sackler, Dave Sheaffer and Joe Pisapia. Pisapia went on to form Nashville-based Joe, Marc's Brother. Ward and Sackler recorded their lo-fi bedroom-recording and was released on Planet Earthy in 1993; guitarist Michael Giblin signed on for the follow-up, 1999's At Home With Cherry Twister. Their second CD, At Home With Cherry Twister gained an entry in the Top 200 powerpop lists of 1999.^[1]

Steve Ward moved to a solo career, recording several CDs. Mike Giblin moved on to Parallax Project and has released three cd's titled Oblivious, Perpetual Limbo and I Hate Girls. Ross Sackler joined up with Dave Aufiero and John Fritchey from The Polins and Mike Pasariello from Wayne Supergenius to form Peabody and released a self-titled cd.
