TRIXTER

'Trixter' was a glam metal band formed in Paramus, New Jersey in 1984.
The band's self-titled debut album attained gold status, reaching #28 on the Billboard 200 in 1990 and spawned three minor hit singles: "Surrender" (#72), "One In A Million" (#75), and "Give It To Me Good" (#65). Despite the fact that none of the singles made the Top 40 or garnered much radio airplay, the videos for all three tunes were in heavy rotation on MTV (especially "Give It To Me Good", which was #1 on the channel for several weeks.) Trixter's second album, ''Hear'', was released in 1992, but was not as successful on MTV or in record shops.
They stated on VH1's ''Top 40 Hair Band Countdown'' that their goal was to play the arena near their hometown, Continental Airlines Arena, in East Rutherford, New Jersey: they achieved this when Trixter opened for the Scorpions in 1991.
The band recorded an album of cover songs, ''Undercovers'', in 1994, which garnered little commercial success and Trixter broke up shortly after its release. Today, the former Trixter members are working on various solo projects, while drummer Mark Scott owns a successful restaurant, The Copper Bottom, in Florida, New York.
Trixter was originally managed by Shark Management, which was founded by Ken Makow (now a web media consultant and designer) and Joel Weinshanker, currently CEO of the National Entertainment Collectibles Association.
