BILLY SHEARS PROBABLY DIDN’T SEE THIS COMING!
 Cheap Trick by Michael Graham |
Cheap Trick is bringing their “Sgt. Pepper Live” show to the Paris Las Vegas Theatre in June and July, beginning June 11. Full dates and ticket links can be found here.
A celebration of The Beatles’ influential album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the show features an orchestra and modern stage production as Cheap Trick perform the entire album live as well as select Cheap Trick songs that lend themselves to orchestral arrangements. Geoff Emerick, the renowned engineer of The Beatles’ classic 1967 album, supervises the audio production. Never performed in its entirety by The Beatles due to the complex studio technology of the day that was employed in the making of the album, “Sgt. Pepper Live” allows Cheap Trick to incorporate their brand of power pop into the classic songs while paying tribute to The Beatles.
“Paris Las Vegas, at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, is the perfect venue for this world-class musical experience,” said Bill Edwards, CEO of Bill Edwards Presents Inc., and executive producer of the production. “Bringing the music of The Beatles together with the performance of Cheap Trick creates an unforgettable show that brings to life one of the most beloved albums in rock and roll history in a truly innovative way.”
Cheap Trick is best known for its classic singles, “I Want You To Want Me” and “Surrender.” The American power-pop progenitors recorded the album All Shook Up in 1980 with Sir George Martin and Geoff Emerick, producer and engineer of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Emerick received Grammy Awards for the engineering of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road.

Mankind’s ability to look for planets like Earth just got five times better
THREE centuries have passed since the polymath Sir Christopher Wren predicted that “a time will come when men will stretch out their eyes—they should see planets like our Earth.” By most astronomers’ accounts, that time is just about nigh. Indeed, detecting big planets orbiting other stars is no longer tricky—nearly 450 such exoplanets have been catalogued. Smaller, rocky planets orbiting at a comfortable distance from their stars—as the Earth does—remain more elusive.
Most exoplanets have been discovered by inferring their presence from the rhythmic wobble their gravity imparts on their home star—like a waltz between two dancers of markedly different weights. The problem is that this method favours the discovery of large planets close to their stars. As a result, the catalogue of planets is filled with “hot Jupiters”, huge bodies baking brightly in the light of their sun. …

MAMMY’S ALRIGHT, DADDY’S ALRIGHT, THEY JUST SEEM A LITTLE WEIRD
Happy 57th birthday to Mr. Robin Zander, the platinum voice of Cheap Trick for the past 38 years! Considered by many to be one of the finest rock singers of all-time, Zander can be candy sweet or sandpaper raw, often in the space of a few bars. A bold voice that’s also catnip to comely groupies, Zander is hard enough for boys AND girls, and he’s backed by one of the tightest, no bullshit units ever. “Just plain ol’ good rock ‘n’ roll” seems like too small a compliment but when you’ve been knocking the stuff out for close to four decades it carries a bit more weight. For establishing the Dream Police, making young men fantasize about Budokan, giving us the theme to The Colbert Report, and much more we give thanks for Cheap Trick and especially their bloody great vocalist this day. We’ll surrender to you fellas anytime!
Seriously, is there a better time to be had in pop-rock than this?
One of the pleasures of Cheap Trick is how they draw a direct line back to rock’s originators, including nifty updates of their work like this.
Cheap Trick at Spring Break: A Rodney Dangerfield-esque sex comedy waiting to happen? An inducement to drink prodigiously and grope strangers? Yes and yes.
What a fantastically rough-edged bunch!
CT knows their touchstones, hence this Slade cover off their cheekily titled The Latest released last year.
Despite their considerable pop punch, Cheap Trick is often most formidable with moody material like “Downed,” reportedly a Kurt Cobain favorite – and it isn’t hard to pick out CT’s fingerprints on parts of Nirvana’s catalog.
The definition of a power ballad, “The Flame” is overwrought in a very Queen way that sidles up to the 13-year-old who fell in love for the first time inside all of us.
Ahh, some of the first German any Trouser Press junkie ever learned!
