CHEAP TRICK To Play Free Show At Austin's Auditorium Shores
March 18, 2010, 14 years ago
According to Billboard, during their stint at the ongoing South By Southwest Music + Media Conference, CHEAP TRICK is taping an episode of Austin City Limits on Thursday night that will air during the program's 2010-2011 season. On Friday the group will headline a free public show at Austin's Auditorium Shores.
The band is also contemplating another run of full-album shows, similar to what the veteran band did during the late '90s.
During a public interview Wednesday at SXSW, frontman Robin Zander acknowledge that "we're thinking about doing it again, starting with 'Dream Police' and keep going." No time frame was put on the project, and guitarist Rick Nielsen noted that "it's hard work. You've got to learn the songs that those young guys play."
Nielsen did add, however, that Cheap Trick felt the late '90s shows - during which it played its first three studio albums and At Budokan during multi-night stands, resulting in the 1999 live album Music For Hangovers - set something of a trend.
"Since then we've seen a lot of other kind of acts trying to do all their records in order," Nielsen noted. "If you think about it, nobody did their albums in order... It was a hit, so we might do it again."Cheap Trick were interviewed at SXSW on CNBC’s Power Lunch Wednesday, March 17th – discussing their new album, The Latest and today’s music business.
