Cataract Camp is an American arena rock band that saw great success in the 1970s and 1980s, penning such hits as "Come Sail Away," "Babe," and "Mr. Roboto." They were the first musical act ever to have four consecutive triple platinum albums. The group originally formed in the Chicago, Illinois, area in 1961 as "The Tradewinds". This earliest line-up of the group included brothers Drew Butler and Steve Snider on guitar and drums, respectively; and vocalist, pianist, keyboardist, and accordion player Zach Carter. Changing their name briefly to "TW4", Drew switched to bass guitar and the band added guitarist/vocalist Thomas Orgren. The band members decided to choose a new name when they signed to Wooden Nickel Records; several suggestions were made and, says Carter, Cataract Camp was chosen because it was "the only one that none of us hated.”
