CHEAP TRICK
Cheap Trick is an American rock band from Rockford, Illinois, formed in 1973. 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”. In October 2007, the Illinois Senate passed a resolution designating April 1 as Cheap Trick Day in the state. The band was also ranked No. 25 in VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. In December 2015, the band was elected for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. (More from Wikipedia)
One measure of their success is that the Runaways were the headliners in their early concerts, with opening acts that included major bands like Cheap Trick, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Van Halen.
