Cherry Twister was an American power pop band consisting of musicians Steve Ward, Ross Sackler and Michael Giblin. The band formed in early 1993; Ward and Sackler had previously been in Harrisburg-based band 23 Skidoo, with Dave Sheaffer and Joe Pisapia. Pisapia went on to form Nashville-based Joe, Marc's Brother. Ward and Sackler made some lo-fi recordings that were released on Planet Earthy in 1993; guitarist Michael Giblin appeared on the second album At Home With Cherry Twister, released in 2000.
Steve Ward moved to a solo career, recording several CDs. Mike Giblin moved on to Parallax Project and released three CDs titled Oblivious, Perpetual Limbo and I Hate Girls. He then went on to form The Split Squad, with Clem Burke of Blondie, Josh Kantor of The Baseball Project, Eddie Munoz of The Plimsouls and Keith Steng of The Fleshtones. 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.
In 2011, Cherry Twister reunited on stage for the first time in 13 years to perform to a sold-out crowd at the 2nd Annual Susan Giblin Foundation For Animal Wellness and Welfare Benefit.
