Music career
Cheney first met Scott Owen at Jells Park Primary School in 1992, when the Runaway Boys, a Melbourne band, began their careers together, and Cheney named them Runaway Boys, which Cheney cites as one of his favorites. The group was a covers band performing Stray Cats and The Clash songs. The group's first paying gig was at the Richmond Club Hotel in 1992, and they followed it with a stay at the nearby Corner Hotel. Shane and Grant, the first two guys, were high school with us and weren't particularly into 1950s rock'n'roll. We were certainly a bit pushed at that point. Grant was keen to participate in classes, but when high school ended, he was excited to move forward and go to university." Even though Cheney appeared on guitar in another band, Goodbye Sideburns Forever, although he was not affiliated with them.
The Runaway Boys were Cheney and Owen on piano and bass. The pair began to write their own stories in 1994 and were joined by Joe Piripitzi on drums to create The Living End. Hellbound (1995) and It's for Your Own Good (November 1996), both extended plays, and "From Here to In" became their first radio single. Cheney and Owen co-authored the song. The Living End sent their second EP to the band and helped them on their tour, which culminated in the band's debut on radio station Triple J. Travis Demsey replaced Piripitzi on drums late last year. The Living End, a third EP, Second Solution / Prisoner of Society, was released in September 1997, with four of its five tracks written by Cheney. The EP reached its high point of No. 1. ARIA Singles Chart 4 is ranked No. 4 on the ARIA Singles Chart. It was the highest-selling Australian-made single for the 1990s.
They debuted their debut self-titled album on October 12, 1998, which debuted at No. 1 in the United States. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart. It contained the singles "Save the Day" (September 1998), "Prisoner of Society" (September 1999), and "All Torn Down" (September 1999). They have since been recognised around the world, including the Warped Tour in the United States and Reading and Leeds Festivals in the United Kingdom, and the Reading and Leeds Festivals in the United Kingdom.

Cheney told his fellow members of The Living End on October 7, 2006, that he wanted to leave the band. "He found himself dealing with a personal and creative crisis for the first time." However, the tragedy was over and Cheney resurfaced, and she began writing again. The group successfully tested the new tracks in February 2008, under the pseudonym Longnecks. "White Noise" was The Living End's second top 20 single in July. Later that month, the same album was released. They launched The Ending Is Just the Beginning Repeating, their sixth studio album, on July 22, 2011, peaking at No. 121. 3.
