Trixter

Trixter is an American hard rock band from Paramus, New Jersey. The band achieved major success in the early 1990s but disbanded for several years as glam metal lost mainstream popularity. The most recent lineup reunited in 2008 to tour and record new material.

Career

Early years

Trixter was formed in 1983 by Paramus, New Jersey natives Steve Brown, and Pete Loran. By 1986 Trixter was a constant fixture on the concert scene, quickly growing a tremendous fan base. By 1987 Trixter was playing with acts like Kix and Skid Row and found themselves being courted by several major record labels. In 1988, Trixter began recording at legendary Bear Tracks Studios in New York with engineer Nelson Ayers, most notable for recording Guns N' Roses "Appetite For Destruction", on what was intended to become their first studio album. But in November 1988, a screwed up move replaced bassist Douglas Cowie (for being too tall for the band's look) with local bassist PJ Farley. In May 1989 the band landed a deal with Mechanic/MCA Records.
