CHEAP TRICK To Headline BMI Auditorium Shores Show At SXSW 2010
January 6, 2010, 14 years ago
BMI will partner with SXSW to present CHEAP TRICK on Friday, March 19 at Auditorium Shores. Free and open to the public, the show starts at 6 p.m., and will feature special guest the BODEANS.
Cheap Trick has offered a fervent mix of power pop and straight-up rock and roll for 35 years. From nostalgia-inducing jewels 'I Want You To Want Me', 'Surrender', and 'The Flame', to current fare like 'Sick Man of Europe' and 'Everybody Knows', the band has remained as infectious as they are formidable. Tapped to color an impressive array of commercials and television theme songs for staples including That 70’s Show and The Colbert Report, they boast record sales of 20 million, contributions to 29 movie soundtracks, and 40 gold and platinum recording awards. Cheap Trick kicked off the summer of 2009 with a self-released new album, aptly titled The Latest. The original lineup remains intact: Robin Zander, lead vocals, Rick Nielsen, guitar, Tom Petersson, bass, Bun E. Carlos on drums.
