Cheap Trick and The Angels To Play A Day On The Green

by Paul Cashmere on September 10, 2014

in Live,News

Cheap Trick will return to Australia in 2015 to perform with The Angels.

NOTE: TOUR REVISED NEW TOUR DATES WITH BILLY IDOL

Cheap Trick and The Angels first toured together in 1980. “Our association with Cheap Trick began in 1980 when our truck was stolen in Chicago after supporting them in Detroit the night before,” John Brewster said. “All our guitars, brand new PA and our tour manager’s washing went with it. Rick Nielsen turned up at our gig later that same day at the Park West Club with a car full of guitars and offered them for the tour. The gig was a sell-out, we played with borrowed guitars, amps and drums and Rick stayed for the show, joining us for the encore jamming on ‘Can’t Shake It’.

“Since then we’ve toured England and France together in 1980 and Australia in 1990. Great band, great songs and great guys… can’t wait to do it all again!”

Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen adds, “We’re really looking forward to the 2015 Angels Cheap Trick tour and being back in Australia again. Maybe we can finally get back all the guitars, amps and gear I loaned them!”

The Cheap Trick and The Angels co-headline tour will also feature Baby Animals, The Superjesus and The Choirboys

Cheap Trick, The Angels and The Choirboys will also play Sydney and Melbourne sideshows together.

I could go to a James Taylor show just for the stories. The man is a part of music history and is still around to tell the tales of how it all began. Like, for instance, being the first artist signed to Apple Records. James “auditioned” for Apple with his song ‘Something In The Way She Moves’. "Paul went away and started the label and George went away and wrote the song”, he said.
