This Band Has No Past : How Cheap Trick Became Cheap Trick
Cheap Trick - Book - by Brian .J. Kramp
(2022)
This
band has no past was the first line of the farcical biography printed
on the inner sleeve of Cheap Trick s first album, but the band, of
course, did have a past a past that straddles two very different
decades: from the tumult of the sixties to the anticlimax of the
seventies, from the British Invasion to the record industry renaissance,
with the band s debut album arriving in 1977, the year vinyl sales
peaked. This Band Has No Past tells the story of a bar band from the
Midwest the best and weirdest bar band in the Midwest and how these four
baby boomers, having been lucky enough to avoid the Vietnam draft,
doggedly pursued a most unlikely career in rock n roll and made it on
their own terms. It traces every gnarly limb of the family tree of bands
that culminated in Cheap Trick, then details how this unlikely foursome
paid their dues with interest night after night, slogging it out
everywhere from high schools to bars to bowling alleys to fans back
yards, before signing to Epic Records and releasing two brilliant albums
six months apart.
Drawing
on more than eighty original interviews, This Band Has No Past is
packed full of new insights and information that fans of the band will
devour. How was the Cheap Trick logo created? How did the checkerboard
pattern come to be associated with the band? When did Rick Nielsen start
wearing a ballcap 24/7? Who caught their mom and dad rolling on the
couch? Read on and find out.
