HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Penny Knight !

From her humble beginnings as a failed Bra-Inventor ...

... to her success as an accomplished musician ...

...and now, even with the upcoming release of the "1984 "Pearlpalooza Before it Was Pearlpalooza" PK Action Figure", she has remained a humble, great, friend and stellar human life form.

WE LOVE YOU, PENNY !

BREAKING NEWS! LIFE CHANGING MATERIAL ...

Can you give us 5 minutes or so to LISTEN to our latest song ?

It's VERY important to us to have you hear what we WORK hard at ...

CONSIDER it a break from the Democrat vs Republican pointlessness of daily life

For the more visually oriented among you ...

Happy Birthday, Wease !

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPY BIRTHDAY, PENNY !!!

Thanks, Kashmir ...

...for asking us to join in your 37 Year Reunion Event. A magical evening that will always be remembered.

Here's our set opener ... with Penny breaking Tony's snare drum ... again.

She's a beast behind the kit !

ROSTER ADDITIONS: Welcome Aboard, Boys!

We'd like to welcome two old friends as the newest members of the Penny Knight Collective ...

Dan Barnum (keys/vocals): Dan goes way back with many of us, musically ... founding member of Kashmir (1978-1980) and EQ member (1980). Dan has also played with Akaysha, Drama, Drakkar, RockProject and a few other bands through the mid 1990s, at which point, he "retired" from music.

The decision to do a Kashmir Reunion was the catalyst to Dan joining PKB. Glad to have him in the fold again! (Photo courtesy of Art Parisi)

Matt Spataro (guitar): Matt, also a former member of Akaysha and Drama, is a high school bud of PKB member, Richard Parks. They dedicated their teen years to copping Wishbone Ash, Allman Brothers and YES licks together.

Matt has also been thrust back into musical performance, after a retirement of 25+ years, and we're damned happy he's succumbed to the pressure we've applied to coerce him into joining us!

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

- TJ

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".

"It's absolutely in our best interest to pay attention in school"
