Nickelback Tickets:

Canadian rock band Nickelback is from Hanna, Alberta. They formed in 1995 by guitarist and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, guitarist and back-up vocalist Ryan Peake, bassist Mike Kroeger, and drummer Brandon Kroeger. The name came from the nickel in change that Mike Kroeger would give customers at his job at Starbucks; he would frequently say, "Here's your nickel back." The band's current drummer and percussionist is Daniel Adair who has been with the band since 2005. Nickelback's music is defined as hard rock and alternative metal. They are one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups, having sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, ranking as the 11th best selling music act of the 2000s, and is the 2nd best selling foreign act in the U.S. behind The Beatles for the 2000's. The band is based in Vancouver, Canada. Their original domestic signing was with EMI Canada and they subsequently obtained an American deal with global distribution via Roadrunner Records. For the release of their seventh album, they parted from EMI Canada and signed a new Canadian domestic distribution deal with Universal Music Canada. Roadrunner A&R Ron Burman told HitQuarters that one of his scouts sent him Nickleback's debut self-released album and, impressed, he travelled to Vancouver to see them perform. Although unknown in the industry at the time, the venue was packed out. Burman would say, "I immediately got the chills! I thought their song "Leader of Men" was a smash hit." Off the stage he was impressed by their industry and initiative in managing their career: Despite this it still took Burman three months for him to convince his label bosses' to approve the signing, a decision that would mark Roadrunner's first move into mainstream rock. In 1998, the band fired their managers and started managing themselves. Mike Kroeger handled distribution, Chad � all the radio tracking, and Ryan Vikedal � all the bookings. In 1999, Roadrunner Records signed Nickelback because the band sold more than 10,000 copies of "Hesher" and their first album "Curb" as an independent label. "The State" was released by Nickelback in 2000 by Roadrunner Records and EMI Canada and released in Europe in 2001. It had 4 singles: "Old Enough," "Worthy To Say," and the hits "Leader of Men" and "Breathe," which were Top 10 rock hits and resulted in the album being certificated Platinum status in 2008, after the success of three consecutive multi-platinum efforts. Nickelback won a Juno Award in 2001, for best new group.
