Tricked Out - Dallas' Tribute to Cheap Trick

About Me

Tricked Out... does not currently exist as a band. Perhaps there will be a rebirth of the band in the future?

History: Stephen (guitar) decided to start a tribute band to Budokan-era Cheap Trick in early 2007. The band came together mostly through ads placed on the Dallas Craigslist site. Pictures, blogs, etc., on this site help to document the history of the band and it's ever-changing members. Hey, you have to have a sense of humor about these things!

Why a Cheap Trick Tribute? Simply stated, it's the great tunes. If we could write better music and perform it for you, we would! Come check out a show and you'll hear the standards as well as some cool deeper cuts you probably haven't heard in awhile.

Current Setlist: Hello There, Big Eyes, Oh Claire/Surrender, Never Had a Lot to Lose, California Man, Voices, Dream Police, I Want You to Want Me, Ain't That a Shame, Clock Strikes Ten, Hot Love, The Flame, If You Want My Love, That 70's Song, Come On/Come On, Southern Girls, Oh Caroline, On Top of the World, Stiff Competition, I Know What I Want, Oh Candy, Downed, Goodnight.
Our goal: Do justice to the songs and have a great time! Are you ready to rock?

Cancelled shows

I notified O'Riley's today that we must cancel the two shows we had planned there in July and August. We obviously don't have an intact band at this point and the possibility of a rebirth is uncertain...
