| - Rockford, Illinois 1974 saw the formation of one of America's well known power-pop bands - Cheap Trick.They became a success with their self-titled debut, in which they started off their defining sound; the catchiness of The Beatles with the speed and energy of Punk rock. The Los Angeles Times proclaimed: %22Cheap Trick gained fame by twisting the Beatlesque into something shinier, harder, more American.%22 They have often been referred to in the Japanese press as the %22American Beatles%22.Most known for their tracks %22Surrender%22, %22I Want You To Want Me%22, %22Dream Police%22 and %22The Flame%22 - and did a cover of Big Star's %22In The Street%22 for American sitcom That 70's Show (season 2 onwards) and also the theme tune to the American satirical late night television program The Colbert Report.Surprisingly, for the age of the band the line-up hasn't changed a great deal. Also the Illinois State Senate has declared 1st April to be %22Cheap Trick Day%22.
