Tom Petersson

The talented Tom Petterson has bass with those high rollers of rock and roll, Cheap Technique. Petersson dropped in with true-original Rick Nielsen back the ’60s and both wandered European countries before getting in Fuse, a strangely intensifying quintet who released one unsuccessful discharge. Nielsen came back to America in the first ’70s and informed Petersson he was in the verge of achievement with a fresh music group. Petersson was significantly less than happy when he discovered the reality upon time for the Expresses, but remained around because the duo ultimately resolved with Bun E. Carlos in the drums and Robin Zander’s business lead vocals. Touring intensely and launching a blistering starting salvo of traditional records, Cheap Technique increased to great achievement, but on the elevation, Petersson became disenchanted and still left the band soon after Technique finished the radical All Shook Up with Sir George Martin. Petersson ironically taken a “Yoko” move — departing Technique to utilize his wife Dagmar on Tom Peterson and Another Vocabulary (Petersson dropping the excess pseudo-Swedish ‘s’ from his name). This mini-album of brand-new influx wildness was the thing noticed from Petersson until he spilled beverage in Nielsen’s lap in a Duran Duran party some years afterwards. Petersson rejoined Cheap Technique for a industrial, if not completely artistic, go back to type, Lap of High end. Petersson also caused Cement Blond and PLATINUM. Within the ’90s, Cheap Trick’s superstar fell again as well as the quartet nearly quit releasing brand-new material, but nonetheless performed continuously. While surviving in Nashville, Petersson installed with multi-instrumentalist neighbor Doug Powell and both joined up with the quasi-supergroup Swag including Jerry Dale McFadden of Sixpence non-e the Richer, Robert Reynolds (the Mavericks), and Ken Coomer of Wilco. Oddly, Petersson threatened legal actions against Swag in 2001 regarding account, although his position with Cheap Technique was never involved. Petersson created the substantial 12-string bass which solutions distinguished customers like Jeff Ament.
