Cheap Trick
Formed by Rick Nielsen and bassist Tom Petersson, Cheap Trick's roots lie in Fuse, a late-'60s Rockford, IL, band who released an unsuccessful album on Epic in 1969. After the record failed to gain any attention, the band relocated to Philadelphia and changed their name to Sick Man of Europe. The group toured Europe unsuccessfully in 1972, returning to Illinois in 1973. Upon their return to Rockford, Nielsen and Petersson ended up naming their band Cheap Trick after adding drummer Bun E. Carlos and vocalist Randy "Xeno" Hogan. The following year Hogan left ex-folk singer Robin Zander joined the group. Cheap Trick toured constantly, playing over 200 concerts a year between 1974 and the band's first album in 1977. In 1976, Cheap Trick signed with Epic Records releasing their self-titled debut in early 1977. The record sold well in America, yet it failed to chart. However, the group became a massive success in Japan, going gold upon release. Later that year, the band released their second album, In Color.
