Those Men Inside My Brain

Hailing from Cleveland and formed in 2018, Dan Loy (bass), Chris Noble, (drums), Pete Ortenzi (guitar),
and Blair Cameron (vocals) bring the sensational music of Rock-n-Roll Hall of Famers Cheap Trick to
today’s audiences. Iconic songs like I Want You to Want Me, Surrender, Dream Police, and Ain’t That a
Shame are synonymous with rock concerts and festival stages everywhere and Those Men Inside My
Brain play them with the energy and edge of a young Cheap Trick emerging onto the late 70s rock scene.

Those Men Inside My Brain, whose name comes from the refrain in the song Dream Police, clearly
connect to Cheap Trick’s style and sound but aspire to more than just imitation. Contributing their
own personalities and influences, their tribute is to infuse the legendary songs with fresh energy and
insight for a more lively and connected show for long-time fans and new audiences alike.

Those Men Inside My Brain have been growing their fan base in Northeast Ohio. They have entertained
Orrville’s Rib & Music Fest, the Parma Rib-N-Rock, Lodi’s Parkstock, and Geneva-on-the-Lake’s Thunder
On-The-Strip, just to name a few, along with venues like Akron Civic’s Knight Stage, CinDee’s Place, the
Outpost, Backstage Bar, and Shooters-on-the-Water. Those Men are known for their tight, energetic, and
engaging performances and will be appearing throughout Ohio and its neighboring states in 2025.

Those Men Inside My Brain play opener, feature, and full-length sets from Cheap Trick’s mega hits, best
known concert songs, and favorite album tracks. They also consider themselves the perfect companion
band in the tribute scene, much the way Cheap Trick has paired with (literally) everybody from AC/DC to
ZZ Top. Whatever the setting and whoever they play with, concert goers can expect Those Men Inside
My Brain to bring forward the “built-to-rocked live” repertoire, the punk-edged irreverence, and the
relentless power-pop delivery of Cheap Trick’s influential, decades-defining, truly “classic” rock-n-roll. They also like to ask the same question that is asked in the first song of every Cheap Trick concert…

“Are you ready to rock? Are you ready or not!?!”
