== Formation date ==

I can’t figure out when the band was formed. This page currently says the band was formed in 1974, but there isn’t a source offered in support of that statement. Browsing around online, I see two sources that say the band formed in 1974 (https://www.discogs.com/artist/132066-Cheap-Trick and https://web.archive.org/web/20141024144442/http://www.classicwebs.com/cheaptrk.htm, for whatever they are worth). I also see two sources that say 1973 (https://www.npr.org/2013/04/06/176369591/rick-nielsen-of-cheap-trick-plays-not-my-job and https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/cheap-trick-oral-history-nielsen-zander-carlos-rockford/Content?oid=21705064). A Rolling Stone piece says that the band formed “circa 1973,” but then contradicts itself by stating that the band formed in 1974 (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/cheap-trick-find-heaven-81582/).

I am beginning to wonder if the band itself doesn’t remember when it formed...

Does anyone have any thoughts? [[User:SunCrow|SunCrow]] ([[User talk:SunCrow|talk]]) 05:16, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
