There are two artists called Trixter. One is a rock band from New Jersey (1) , the other a songwriter from the UK (2).

1. Bands such as Trixter are often blamed for the demise of the hard rock genre, which may or may not be a fair assumption. While they were portrayed as a group of teenagers, the group had actually been in the rock business for years prior to their smash debut album. Inoffensive, pretty boy good looks and music that even parents could appreciate both made them a huge hit and later led to their eventual fall from grace.
Peter Loran (vocals), Steve Brown (guitar), P.J. Farley (bass) and Mark "Gus" Scott (drums) got together as teenagers in Paramus, New Jersey to form the rock band Trixter. Even though they were considered an overnight sensation, the group had been together almost six years before the self-titled debut saw the light of day.
The debut was filled with guilty pleasures but it would be the three mellower numbers, "One In A Million", "Surrender" and "Give It To Me Good", that reached #1 on MTV while placing on Billboard's singles charts. The album itself eventually went gold and peaked at #28 on the Billboard Top 200. The longhaired clean-cut rockers had the world in their hand while touring behind bands such as Warrant.
But like the majority of pop sensations their career at the top was short lived. Hear! failed to deliver a hit single, and with the influx of grunge, bands like Trixter were the first to be pushed aside. A final album full of covers was released in 1994. Scott left the band during their last tour, and after a short period of time with another member the band decided to go their separate ways. Loran pursued a solo career while Farley and Brown rekindled some success in 40 Ft. Ringo.

Trixter has recently reunited and have scheduled a few long awaited shows. There have not been any mention of a long reunion, so go out and show your support for the dates that have been anounced. See their website www.trixterrocks.com for more details.

2. Trixter is a songwriter/performer of experimental electronic music who has worked with a number of well-known pop acts in the 2000s.
