Post Cherry Boom
[edit]After Cherry Boom disbanded, Lena Cha started her solo project Astro Bunny (原子邦妮) with bassist/producer Jay Cheng (程杰). Astro Bunny performed their first concert on 13 June 2012, at the Riverside Cafe (河岸留言) in Taipei and released their debut five-track EP "What If There's No Tomorrow" the same month.[1] In an interview with the Taipei Times, Cha said, "We named the group 'bunny' because I love bunnies and I forced him to like them too," Cha laughed. "I picked the word "astro" because I'm an anime and computer game geek".[2]
