The Knack was an American power pop band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1978 by Doug Fieger (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Berton Averre (lead guitar, backing vocals), Prescott Niles (bass) and Bruce Gary (drums). Spearheaded by the success of their debut single "My Sharona", their first album, Get the Knack (1979), reached number-one in several countries. However, their next two albums, ...But The Little Girls Understand (1980) and Round Trip (1981), were less successful, leading the band to disband in 1982. The band reunited in 1986 and released their fourth album, Serious Fun, in 1991, before breaking up again the following year. After a brief reunion in 1994, the Knack reunited a final time in 1996, recording two more albums, Zoom (1998) and Normal as the Next Guy (2001). Following Fieger's death in 2010, the Knack permanently disbanded. Their final studio album, Rock & Roll Is Good for You: The Fieger/Averre Demos was released in 2012.
