GUITAR BAND SUCCESS

At our most recent gig, "Here's Penny, doing the weather"  -TJ
(Matt Visscher, our favorite TV Meteorologist, did the band intro for all of our gigs
during "Holy Gig Week,  Spring 2012" )


Here it is ... at no cost to you ... a donation to the musical world ... MY TIME TESTED BAND ALGORITHM:

1 guitar = pop, progressive, funk, jazz
2 guitar = rock, hard rock, metal, punk, Lithuanian funk
3 guitar = country, country rock, technically amazing guys just showin' off
4 guitar = band longevity rarely above 8 minutes

Mark Fitzgerald ROCKS!

TJ's sarcastic (is that redundant?) pictorial tribute (NO, Mark's not dead yet) to our long time friend, part-time band photographer and creator of the only Penny Knight Band "Title Shot" / EQ "Giving Up The Energy" CD in existence ...

View from the scope of the back-door neighbor's 
newly purchased sniper rifle.


Mark later gained musical notoriety by playing drums in a William Devane/Bobby Kennedy/Vince VanPatten Tribute Band ... and in the world of TV, playing "the alternate caucasian" in the "The White Shadow".

NOTES: There are many in the Capital District too young to realize what an IMPORTANT VENUE JB SCOTT's was ... click below to get up to speed on things ... 

PKB's JB SCOTT'S HISTORY: We played JB Scott's and JB's Theatre throughout our entire Capital District history

as "Kashmir" w/Tony and Richard
as "EQ" w/Tony, Richard, Penny and Tony "The Wease" Genevive
as "Penny Knight Band" w/Bob, Tony, Richard and Penny


Fun Fact

In 1980, Penny beat the living hell out of a JB Scott's bouncer, after he made fun of the EQ penned song "Peter Is A Slut", dousing his hair with lighter fluid then using him to set fire to his OWN CAR after one of EQ 's shows at JB Scott's.



(nah, not really true, but fact #1 seemed so lame that we felt an urgent need to come up with something that sounded really cool).

The JB Scott's Reunion Shameless Plug



F. Lee Harvey Blotto of https://www.facebook.com/pages/Blotto/161167380595875 never fails to delight ... I  truly appreciate both the JB Scott's Reunion plug for the Penny Knight Band appearance and, being a Lathams native myself (via Cohoes), for the plug for our fair town. Little known fact ... the town name "Lathams" is derived from the longer Mohawk Indian term "Lathams Ircle".

The Penny Knight Band was once but a cog in the wheel of the mighty multi-national conglomerate, known as Blotto Records, wherein he served, and continues to serve, as El Presidente for life. Please "friend him" on Facebook.

JB Scott's and Demi Moore

It's the afternoon of May 5, 2012 ... the PKB BUS is honking the horn at your curb/driveway: This is a unique opportunity to do something OUTSIDE of your house and/or your property lines ... ya know, besides your normal social activity of a couple of DMDW* followed by a confusing round of frisbee golf.


DMDW* = Demi Moore Designer Whippets







Come see the opening "attempt at stardom" of the Penny Knight Band 2012 semi-annual "Holy Gig Week" ... BE THERE WHEN THE DOORS OPEN at 6:00pm because we have requested to go on early so we can be home by 9:00, in order to watch COUGARTOWN. Also, we have not seen each other/played/stayed up past the 7pm Seinfeld reruns since the Blotto Records Reunion so we need to pace ourselves for the following week (May 6-12) of gigs in the Cap District.

Get Your tickets here ... STAY UP LATE then continue to BORE THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOUR KIDS WITH MORE "When I Was Your Age" STORIES!

MANY THANKS to those who have purchased them here

It's Official!  J.B. Scott's Reunion Kicks off our next 
Semi-Annual "Holy Gig Week" May 5 - May 12, 2012 

A couple of fun facts come with our next announcement that The Penny Knight Band will be performing at The J.B. Scott's Reunion on May 5, 2012 @ Michael's Banquet House, Latham NY (6pm-Midnight)


Fact #1:
We played JB Scott's and JB's Theatre throughout our entire Capital District history:
  • as "Kashmir" w/Tony and Richard
  • as "EQ" w/Tony, Richard, Penny and Tony "The Wease" Genevive
  • as "Penny Knight Band" w/Bob, Tony, Richard and Penny

Fact #2:
Penny beat the hell out of a JBS bouncer, doused his hair with lighter fluid then used him to set fire to his own car after one of their shows. (nah, not really true, but fact #1 seemed so lame that we felt an urgent need to come up with something that sounded cool).

See you there !
