Cinderella bassist Eric Brittingham and guitarist Jeff LaBar along with vocalist/guitarist Brandon Gibbs (formerly of The Gibbs Brothers) and drummer Troy Patrick Farrell (White Lion, Gilby Clarke) in a new band called Cheap Thrill.
Cheap Thrill brings you a sound flavored with Cinderella tunes such as Nobody’s Fool, Heartbreak Station and Hello Or Goodbye from LaBar’s soon-to-be-released CD, along with the newest song from Brandon’s solo record, This Town, which is currently featured on ESPN 2 for the NHRA season. This show is littered with popular covers and stadium rock songs.
When Cinderella isn’t touring, Gibbs and Brittingham have always found themselves working together off and on over the last five years. With the recent addition of LaBar, the Nashville-based group CHEAP THRILL made its debut on the Monsters Of Rock cruise in March 2013, with two more rock and roll cruises immediately following.
Brittingham and LaBar are pumped about Cheap Thrill and the opportunity to work together again and alongside Gibbs.
“Being able to transition from a three-piece acoustic show to a full band keeps the project fun and versatile,” says Brittingham. “It’s all about the music,” adds Gibbs. “We have finetuned a product that will appeal to audiences of all ages.”

Well said Don. Eighties dude doesn’t have a clue what he is talking about
love Cinderella, and tom kiefer is awesome!!!!
He’s on TMS this Saturday!
If I were Tom I’d hold off Cinderella til a major label and no more clubs or 3-4 on a bill crap. A lot of wigs and extensions ruled that era.
Just wanted to say, the negative commenters here should go see these guys live, I will take a mish mash of several bands any day if the original members can’t stay together forever….I’m over it, and I am grateful to these guys for keeping the music coming! They are awesome together, apart, or shuffled! Just saw them last weekend, friggin great!
I took the pic at the top of the page. FYI that’s Cheney Brannon from Collective Soul. After shooting many shows with them along with their promotional photos and bts stuff, I can assure you that the boys are back!! Don’t worry about Tom, he’s here in Nashville too and things are just fine. Never say never, but in the meantime, check out “cheap thrill” its a great show and it will only take one song to make you aware these guys are better than ever!
