Penny Arcade Band

HIGH-ENERGY DANCE MUSIC FROM THE 1980s & 1990s ~ TOP ROCK, PUNK & POP HITS! ~

Penny Arcade is a high-energy band specializing in music that will make you want to dance all night! The name says it all: Penny Arcade’s song list is filled with top pop, punk, and rock hits you’d find on the juke box at your neighborhood arcade or dance hall from 1980 through the mid-90s.

If you love Blondie, The Ramones, The Clash, The Pretenders, Robert Palmer, The Romantics, Wham!, Pat Benatar, 4 Non-Blondes, The Cars, The B-52s and other top rock, punk and pop bands from the 80s, you’ll love Penny Arcade. We also feature rock hits from Nirvana, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Blues Traveler, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Billy Squier, Loverboy, Journey, Joe Walsh, Eddie Money, Heart, Van Halen and lots of other eclectic (some folks call them surprising) selections of classic rock favorites performed by virtually no other bands in the region.

Penny Arcade is a high-energy alternative to the standard set lists you’ll hear from most cover bands that feature blues-rock and oldies from the 50s, 60s and 70s.

Our motto is “No CCR, No Skynynrd!” Don’t get us wrong: we love ’em, but everybody else already plays ’em! We appreciate the talent and musicianship of our friends’ bands, so instead of duplicating or competing with them, we’re bringing you a different vibe entirely. If you’re looking for a live entertainment experience that’s distinctive, unique, and loads of fun, check out Penny Arcade!

Come enjoy the vocals and rhythm guitar stylings of Jill Ramelot, punkified rockin’ guitar and vocals of Gary Ramelot, awesome thumpin’ bass of Dennis Lascola, and drums and percussion from the masterful Gary Babcock. We’ll always be greteful to our friend David “Cowboy” Frederick of ‘The Marvelous Mustangs’ band for his support as Penny Arcade was starting out!

Make sure to put on your dancing shoes and plan on singing along to all your favorite 80s and 90s rockin’ dance tunes!
