Biography

The band started in 2002 in Paris, France, where they recorded their first album, Cherry Bikini (2002). In the next several years, Cherry Bikini achieved underground notoriety due to their hyper-explicit lyrics on songs such as "Just Fuck Me", "Fingers (Inside Me)", and "A Good Hard Lay".[1]

After relocating to Los Angeles in 2003, they recorded and released their second full-length CD, Dream Days (2004). Towards the end of that year they released Remixed (2004), a collection of remixes of some of their better known songs by underground DJs and producers.

The signature Cherry Bikini sound is characterized by Sophie Boscallini's "somewhat detached".[2] take on lust, set over strong electro-pop hooks and dance beats. Their songs often "deal with sexuality with a matter-of-fact explicitness".[3] All of their CDs to date have been self-produced and independently released. In 2007 they released their fourth full length CD entitled 13. This was followed by a period of quiet until October 2010 when they announced that a fifth album should be released in October 2011.[edit] Solo activities of the members

Sophie Boscallini has a long history of working as an actress and model in Europe and the United States. Armand Abagliani has been involved in numerous side projects. He has co-produced several albums.
