Cheap Trick

 

Cheap Trick are an American rock band from Rockford, Illinois, that gained popularity in the late 1970s. The band members are Rick Nielsen (lead guitar, vocals, main songwriter), Bun E. Carlos (born Brad Carlson) (drums, percussion), Robin Zander (vocals, rhythm guitar), and Tom Petersson (bass guitar, vocals). Though they have had only brief flirtations with mainstream success, Cheap Trick has held a substantial following through regular touring and a hard-edged yet blissful pop sound that combines the tunefulness of The Beatles with the speed and energy of punk rock. The band's biggest hits over the years include "I Want You to Want Me", "Surrender", "Dream Police", "Don't Be Cruel" (a cover of Elvis' hit), and "The Flame". Their most recent release, Rockford, has gained critical acclaim.  See Cheap Trick LIVE!  Purchase your Cheap Trick tickets today!
