In January 2013 Zander formed The Robin Zander Band with drummer and long time friend Steve Luongo. The band also includes Mark Hitt on guitar and Larry Hobbs on bass. The band play occasional shows nationally in the USA when Cheap Trick is off the road. On 26 Sep 2014, Robin reunited with old musical partner Brian Beebe (together with son, Robin Taylor Zander) for a show at Monk’s in the Wisconsin Dells.
