CHEAP TRICK “IN ANOTHER WORLD”

Congratulations to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Cheap Trick on the release their 20th studio album In Another World. It is the band’s first Number One album having topped the Billboard charts for Classic Rock Radio including Top Rock Albums and Independent Record Label Current Albums.

The record also includes photography by Lou Brutus with three live shots of the band from him on the jacket. For the fans who have asked, the gigs he shot these particular images at include Washington DC 2019, Silver Spring MD 2015, and Fairfax VA 2014.

Some of Lou’s other Cheap Trick photography is also showing up in other places. The band’s Rick Nielsen recently gave an interview to Illinois Entertainer magazine. A full band shot by LB is featured on the cover of the mag with another of his stage shots used in the article. You can read the (excellent) interview and see Lou’s pics here.

Many thanks to his old friends in the band with extra thanks for the liner note credit!

PHOTO ROUND UP

Brutus has been an avid photographer for close to two decades and more of his shots are finding their way into the public eye. Shaman’s Harvest and Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick are the latest to be using his pics for official purposes.

Q102 in Springfield MO, which airs hardDriveXL with Lou Brutus every weeknight, recently raised several hundred dollars for wounded police officer Aaron Pearson with photos donated by LB. The pics were of Halestorm, Cheap Trick, and Jackyl. Each was autographed by the band members and plate signed by Lou.

Finally, it appears Brutus will be back for his ninth consecutive season as an onfield Major League Baseball photographer. Look for images beginning Opening Day!
