Bram Tchaikovsky (born Peter Bramall, 10 November 1950, Lincolnshire, England [ [http://www.unterzuber.com/bram.html unterzuber.com: Bram Tchaikovsky profile] ] ) is the lead singer of an eponymous power pop band. The group scored a U.S. Top 40 hit in the Billboard Hot 100 in 1979, with "Girl Of My Dreams". In the Netherlands "Sarah Smiles" was a minor hit, reaching #33 in February 1979.

Tchaikovsky was vocalist and guitarist for his band. He was previously a member of UK punk / pub rock band, The Motors.

In 1998 as part of a "British Rock" reissue series, WEA Japan re-released both "Strange Man Changed Man" and "The Russians Are Coming" albums on CD, using original master tapes and artwork. In addition to the original artwork and liner notes, each CD contained extensive historical information, song lyrics and musical commentary (albeit in Japanese). These CDs were only available in Japan and are now out of production.
