Perpetual Change is a Kansas City based rock cover band specializing in recreating the sounds of the '80s & '90s with a few originals thrown in as well as a few from the 00's. We invite you to our next show to let loose, have a beer, hook up, hang out, relax, part your hair down the middle, feather it, stick a big comb out of your back pocket, wear parachute pants if you must, or anything else that reminds you of the 80's.

Friday night April 27th at FUEL…

Ladies and Gents…check your FUEL gauges. We are planning on bringing down the house one last time there on April 27th. It is going to be more fun than Charlie Sheen hosting a Secret Service hooker party in Columbia and unless you aren’t living, you need to be there..but wear protection (protección).

We will go on around 9:30pm and play until 1:30am. Evacuate your bowels.

Power & Light District March 8th! Big 12 Tourney and Perpetual Change…

Ladies and Gentleflaven,

March 8th, 2012 could be the greatest Thursday night of your life. I say that because Thursdays normally suck but not March 8th. This coming March 8th Perpetual Change is playing on/in/at the KC Live Stage down at Power & Light (you know…that middle part…the beer garden…the big open area…the part where they have a rain cover that doesn’t actually cover the stage). Anyhow…go back in time, think about all of your past Thursday nights…I’ll wait…waiting…waiting…now get ready to put March 8th at the top of your all-time good time on Thursday night list. Or…just show up and rock out…worse case scenario you have a beer and a good time whether you like the band or not.

We go on as soon as the last Big 12 Tournament game is over at The Sprint Center across the street. The guess is that we will start around 10:30pm and play until 1am or 2am…whenever they shut out the lights or kick us out. We are having a real life death star tractor beam installed on stage that will capture all who leave The Sprint Center after the game so the party will be tractorialiscious…or once again just a good time if you have a beer and hang out (whether you like the band or not). Please contact Han Solo if you need to get out early.

NOTE: Wear clean underwear to the show and keep your flatulence to yourself. Last show someone was brutally inappropriate and offensive to my nostrils most of the night. I felt like I had done something wrong but then I realized that I cannot control a total stranger’s poopaholanus and somehow when I realized this the night was more tolerable. But I will be checking your back side Thursday night March 8th if I suspect what you are doing just ain’t right. I have hired the fahart police and they will be there in full force…just sayin’.

See your lovely, wonderful smelling cheekies on Thursday night March 8th.

REMEMBER…if you like our band tell everyone you know. If you don’t, please keep it to yourself. Oh…and a quick PSA (public service announcement) and health warning…Jalapeno KY Jelly will circumcise you if you use more than just a tiny drop…be kind to the shifter of life.

Jellyfish, barbed wire, and tacos…we have it all planned for you in 2012!

Just like you don’t wake up in the morning craving chicken gizzards, rancid meat, and the image of those hairless cats mating, you don’t want to wake up in 2013 and say, “Man I should have gone out more last year”…or “Why can’t I play with my Shake weight at work”…or “Why aren’t there any Tug Toner leagues”…or the one question everyone has which is “What exactly is that stuff between my toes?”

So with that said, we would like to thank you for 2011. We had a blast. Together (you…the person reading this and me) we saw people fall down on stage, make azzes of themselves, drink too much, and that was just the guys in the band! The crowd was perfect.

Our next show is February 25th at FUEL in Overland Parker, Kansas. We need a party crew to show up, rock the house, and show FUEL that just because you are old, does not mean you can’t have a good time. Can you dance on tables? Do your boobs hang low? Do they waddle to and fro? Stop acting like you are dead and get out and live!

FUEL…February 25th. 9pm. Bring your alter ego, a pac’a smokes, and a picture of James Dean.

December: FUEL Friday night 12/2 and The Well Friday night 12/16

Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Come hang out with us for the last two shows of the year for Perpetual Change.

12/2 we are playing at FUEL from 10pm to 1:30am. Although we aren’t sure whose idea it was (Cami Bernal)…somebody said (CB) “Let’s have a Pogo’s reunion at FUEL!” and so the planning commenced. We never really got past the date, the time, and the simple instruction to come to the show in a way that reminds you of one of the greatest bars in Kansas City’s history, Pogo’s. The other point of the night is to come early enough to see people you knew, hang out, talk Pogo’s, think about lighted floors, red carpet, people sleeping on red carpet, a little bit of puke on red carpet, beer on red carpet, long lines, and people up in high places like the guy at the door who stamped your hand in the glass window or the DJ who spun your tunes and looked down your shirt. This party is only for the people who were patrons, people who were never patrons, people who worked there, people who didn’t work there, people who were past owners, people who weren’t past owners, people who were never there but wanted to be there, people who disco danced, people who didn’t, people who dug the 70′s, people who dug the 80′s, people who liked 3.2 beer, and for those folks who thought the Sugar Hill Gang was great music…this night is for you. Come join us.

12/16 we are playing at The Well from 9:30pm to 1am. This will be our last show for a while so come hang out! I am hoping this will be a blow out with overtime happening on the tambourines, the Shake Weight, and Mike’s new Tug Toner. If you have never seen it, or…if you have a prepubescent bring them out for a night of instruction on how to “do it” alone. The Well is at 74th and Wornall come end the year with us…

October: The Brooksider, Fuel, and The Well…

October 1st we are playing at The Brooksider, Kansas City’s premier wagon wheel of televisions intended to block out the band from the cheap seats.  The Brooksider has a secret weapon no other bar in KC has…the Boom Boom Room…and if you don’t know what it’s for, I challenge you to show up at The Brooksider October 1st to check it out. Bring protection and something to clean up with. If you have never been, The Brooksider is from where super heroes hail.  In fact, the night we play you will see a tambourine performance from Super Drunk Girl, and a unique shake weight performance from Super Virgin…two of the greatest super heroes in Kansas City.  We play from 10pm to 2am.

Ocotober 8th we are playing at Fuel an American Made Bar & Grill in Overland Park, KS. The last time we played there it was July 3rd, 2008 and there was a girl who kept putting things down her pants. We could barely keep a straight face. The world can only hope she will be present again. I might just pee my pants if she puts on a performance like she did in 2008. So come on out to Fuel on October 8th to see if the motionless rocker can keep still as the urine drains from his shoes! We are pumped to be playing Fuel again.  Come hang out!  We pee from 10pm to 1:30am.

October 22nd we are playing at The Well in Waldo. The Well is that place with the cool rooftop where people go to escape the live music. I don’t recommend escape when we play there because the awesomeness of our music has been known to make men better looking, women bustier, acne miraculously disappear from the faces of adolescents, dogs stop humping each other, old ladies to say the “F” word, and the untrusting to finally trust their flatulence.   Drink, be merry, and celebrate as we’ll have a taped off “No Shart” zone so you can let the stress leave your backside as you come down to The Well for a silent but deadly time. We play from 9pm to 1am.

So…October will be fuel of chances to come down, hang out, have a beer, enjoy some tunes, a tasty wave, a cool breeze…and I was thinking…since you’re there and I’m there…isn’t it OUR time? You know how cute I always thought you were…

The Plaza Art Fair – September 24th – Main Stage

Hello! Perpetual Change is playing at The Plaza Art Fair September 24th from 8:30pm to 10pm. It is a quick show. It is an early show. And it is a show for all you girls who say you are normally in bed by 11pm. There are some folks who are above hanging out with drunks, getting in bar fights, smelling like smoke, peeing in disgusting bathrooms, getting hit on by turds, and having a little puke in their hair when they leave the bar at 2am. None of that will be at The Plaza Art Fair so this show is perfect for you! Since it is an art fair, there will be extremely cool, laid back, artsy people, who will probably ask to make you a drink with a lemon twist they make themselves. Remember kids, Serge says “Don’t wear your shirt open…it is not sexy…it is animal”.

So put September 24th on your calendar. 8:30pm to 10pm. Wear silk…probably an ascot or a bow tie. Brush up on your wine knowledge, primary colors, and just so you aren’t embarrassed when you get into one of those conversations with an artsy person…yellow and green makes blue…yellow and green makes blue…yellow and green makes blue.

See you on 9/24. -Jim TMR

Thank You Power & Light!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Power & Light district last night! A special thanks goes out to the combined classes of 86 from the Shawnee Mission School District – thanks for making us a part of your reunion festivities – you guys rocked!

Two Shows Coming Up

We are playing at The Brooksider in beautiful Brookside, Missouri on July 30th.  The Brooksider is one of the greatest places in Kansas City for rahawkin and rawholin’ (out of the gutter please).  If you have never been to The Brooksider, go.  If you have been but have never seen Perpetual Change there…well…you haven’t lived (might be a stretch).  Come down for a high five and show your palm or in Italian it would  be Depalma to any Italian whoah wantsa tue a hiva fiva yue.  Wow that was not only not funny but an inside joke that wasn’t really that funny…because it wasn’t that inside either.  But we love the owner of The Brooksider and anytime I can work him into a bit I am in.

On August 5th, Perpetual Change will be at Power & Light on the main stage to rock the night away with anyone bold enough to come down, divy up the $2 for parking, and cinch up your baggie pants so your crack doesn’t show when you bend over.  But cracks might be cool on the planet Butcrackia but they really aren’t that cool at P&L.  They are really crackin (worked it into back to back sentences) down on clothing infractions so make sure to keep your hats at home, your shorts at a reasonable length, and don’t wear anything that could be construed as cool.  Think Revenge of the Nerds.

Mark your calendars, check to make sure you have all your body parts, and tuck in your love handles so you’re ready to enjoy the greatest night of the year (okay might be a stretch again).
See you on July 30th or August 5th or both!

Brooksider April 16th

Hello!  Perpetual Change is playing at The Brooksider April 16th.  We should go on around 10pm.  The Brooksider is located at 6330 Brookside Plaza in The Brookside area of Kansas City, Missouri.  If you are reading this your balls will fall off if you don’t come to the show.  And for those of you whose balls fell off a long time ago…bring a small monkey and some Chiclets to get a dollar off a bacon & egg flavored Jello tequila shooter with lemon-lime sauce…limit 12 per sausage.
