Cheap Trick

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cheap Trick is an American rock band from Rockford, Illinois, formed in 1973. As of 2010, the band currently consists of Robin Zander (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick Nielsen (lead guitar), Tom Petersson (bass guitar) and Daxx Nielsen (drums). Their biggest hits include "Surrender", "I Want You to Want Me", "Dream Police" and "The Flame".

They have often been referred to in the Japanese press as the "American Beatles".[1] In October 2007, the Illinois Senate passed a resolution designating April 1 as Cheap Trick Day in the state.[2] The band was also ranked No. 25 in VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.[3] In December 2015, the band was elected for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I was a fan in their heyday, but “Surrender” is the only one of their top singles that has withstood the test of time, imho.

Superb showmen. Have collected a guitar pick from all three concerts attended.
Cheap Trick is one of the most underrated bands in the business. Love them!
