Penguin Band

Were you looking for The Band?

The Penguin Band is Club Penguin ' s most popular and official band. It is made up of four penguins, G Billy, Petey K, Stompin' Bob and Franky. There once was a scavenger hunt when penguins had to find the Band's instruments. Once players found the instruments, their penguin was rewarded with a player card background featuring the band and their autograph. Another background was given out during the Music Jam party when the band went on break. Like Rockhopper, the band members can be seen sometimes during certain parties, on random servers signing autographed backgrounds and talking to penguins. They are the only official band known in Club Penguin.

Penguin Band
A group of musical penguins resembling the Club Penguin Band existed in Penguin Chat 3, which were proven to be the Penguin Band on the Whats new? blog. There were a few differences, listed below:


 * Everyone in the Penguin Chat 3 band wore the old colour Old Blue.
 * There were only three members of this band, because Franky hadn't joined yet.
 * The piano that one of the penguins used was brown, not black.
 * A flute was never used in the Penguin Chat 3 band.
 * The band played around the clock at the Dance Club. There were not any speakers or disk jockey stations in the room.
 * In the only known picture of a Penguin Chat 3 performing in public Igloo, the PC3 Band is inexplicably depicted as playing in the igloo. They are playing many songs which change time-to-time, one of them is "I've Been Delayed" by a band called TAS1000.

Members of the band
The band is made up of four members, they are:
 * G Billy (Dark Blue, originally Old Blue): Plays the drums. Used to play a flute.
 * Petey K (Green): Plays an accordion. Used to play a piano.
 * Stompin' Bob (Red): Plays an electric bass. Used to play a double bass.
 * Franky (Yellow): Plays a keyboard. Used to play a banjo and an acoustic guitar.
 * The Unknown Band member (Light Blue): played the acoustic guitar.

Winter Luau '06
During the Winter Luau 2006, three penguins were performing at The Night Club. While two looked like G Billy and Stompin' Bob, there was an unknown light blue penguin playing the guitar. This penguin could possibly be an ex-member of The Penguin Band, or this may hint that Franky was not part of the band back then.

Wild West Party '06
After the band did their performance in the Dance Club they lost all their instruments. Penguins had to go on a scavenger hunt to find them. Afterwards, you were awarded with (as mentioned above) a background.

Music Jam 2008
The Penguin Band made a special appearance at the Music Jam 2008 festival. During that appearance, the band took breaks from playing at the Iceberg and during those breaks individual band members went to the backstage room for members on the main stage, much like Rockhopper does during his appearances. Penguins who found one or more of the band members could get a special player card background featuring the band. This also happened in the Penguin Play Awards when backstage for members was released again. This time in the Stage, they gave out the same background.

Music Jam 2010
The Penguin Band once again played at the Ice Berg and met penguins and signing background backstage room, and on the main stage.They were also in this new room that opened in Music Jam 2010 called the Casa Fiesta where you could also meet Cadence.

Music Jam 2011
Taking on their new modern looks, the Penguin Band now has their own method of transport between shows at the Iceberg - their own personal iceberg, kitted with a dance floor, confetti cannons and speakers with flashing lights. They also went Backstage, or to the Casa Fiesta. They now play a new song called Better Days

Trivia

 * All the current members of the Penguin Band, used to work for shops around Club Penguin Island such as the Pizza Parlor and the Pet Shop, and they claim they would have still worked there if they had not become musicians.
 * Like Rockhopper, Cadence, Gary, and Aunt Arctic, the Penguin Band can sometimes be controlled or be robots when they are walking around.
 * The Penguin Band have given out three different backgrounds: In the first background, they were not wearing accessories yet. In the second background, they were wearing their country band outfits.  And, in Music Jam 2011, the new look for the band came out, thus changing the background once again.
 * Only Franky's original acoustic guitar was available to penguins. Drumsticks are also available, however, the drumsticks G Billy uses are a different colour. They are silver.
 * It is rumoured that you can join the band if you gain all the instruments available in Club Penguin. This is false and having all the instruments (apart from playing them) won't do anything of the sort.
 * The Penguin Band was "improved" in July 2008. G Billy got drumsticks, Stompin' Bob got Sunglasses, Petey K got other glasses, Franky got shoes and all of them got hats.
 * The Penguin Band, unlike the other famous penguins have not yet have plush versions or figurine versions. This is unknown why they have not been released yet, but might appear in series 10, or 11.
 * If you combine G Billy's and Stompin' Bob's names it will result in Billybob.
 * The Penguin Band, unlike most other famous penguins have changed their looks 4 times.First,there were only 3 members and they were all the same color:Old Blue then they were known as Penguin Chat 3 Then,they were know as The Band and were 4 members and they were different colors:Red, Dark Blue,Yellow, and Green. Then they were a country band and they all wore country hats. Currently, in 2011, they changed their look one more time to show what kind of music they like. That music was rock and roll.
 * The Penguin Band may change their look sometime in the future- but no-one knows for sure.
 * (rumors) Some say the penguin band will perform again in public igloos- a thing that was never confirmed. Many penguins hope it will be true.
 * All members wear jeans.
