CONVERSATION WITH DOUG FIEGER OF THE KNACK

In the late 1970's, four young men were taking the Sunset Strip by storm. Together, Doug Fieger, (vocals/guitar); Berton Averre, (guitar); Prescott Niles, (bass) and Bruce Gary, (drums) called themselves The Knack and their music described by some as pure pop was making a major impact on Rock & Roll history. They released their debut record; "Get the Knack", in 1979 and with the leadoff single "My Sharona" The Knack climbed both the album and singles charts, eventually selling millions of copies around the world. Now back in the spotlight thanks in part to "My Sharona" being included on the movie soundtrack for "Reality Bites", The Knack with new drummer Pat Torpey (of Mr. Big fame) is once again putting out great music. Epiphone's Don Mitchell talked with Doug Fieger from his home in California.
