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 tap your toes and shake your booty! The name says it all: Penny Arcade’s song list is filled with top pop, rock and punk hits you’d find on the juke box at your neighborhood arcade or dance hall in the 1980s.
We’re a different kind of band with set lists that you won’t hear anywhere else. We’ve been called unique, eclectic, even weird, but wherever we play, people can’t get enough of our unique vibe.
Selections include favorites from the 1960s, 70s and 80s with a smattering of newer music. Plus, we create made-to-order specialty shows for special events including dinner dances, sock hops, 70s nights, themed fundraisers and most any other event on your calendar.
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 and punkified rockin’ guitar and vocals of Gary Ramelot, We offer duo shows or can bring the full band to add the classic rhyth, section with bass, drums, even keyboards as needed to fill every venue with fun for an hour or four.
Make sure to put on your dancing shoes and plan on singing along to all your favorite 80s and 90s rockin’ dance tunes!
