The Penguin Band (AKA The Club Penguin Band) is a popular musical band of mascots in Club Penguin. The Penguin Band is Club Penguin's only popular and official band. It is made up of four Penguins: G Billy, Petey K, Stompin' Bob and Franky.

Like other famous characters, the band members can be seen during certain parties on random servers waddling around and talking to Penguins. It should be noted that the Penguin Band are not always together when on the island as they can be met individually.

Band members

Main article: Franky Franky is the band's singer and is often labeled as the most 'popular' member of the group; as such he is usually the focus of many of their tracks. He is a yellow penguin who knows how to play the guitar[1], the keyboard[2], and sing. According to the 2011-2012 yearbook, he is the mascot most likely to invent a new musical instrument.[3] He is, like the rest of the band, extremely talented in music; his talent was even the inspiration for Cadence to pursue a singing career.[4]
Main article: Petey K Petey K is one of the band's guitarists.[5] Prior to their redesign, he used to play the piano[6] and the accordion[7]. He is known to be very relaxed, occasionally cracking the odd joke (which is often directed at his band mates). He is a thrill-seeker and, according to the 2011-2012 yearbook, he is the mascot most willing to start a food fight.[3]
Main article: Stompin' Bob Stompin' Bob is the band's electric bass player.[8] He is a self-taught musician who is known to practice constantly. As such, he has more of a serious personality towards their music than his band mates, an example of this would be that he has often said he would be writing poems if he was not a musician. In addition, the yearbook for 2011-2012 said he would be the mascot most likely to 'rock the house'.[3]
Main article: G Billy G Billy is the band's drummer.[9] He is the strong and silent type, founding member and the grounding force of the band.[10] In addition to the drums, he can also play the flute.[11] According to the 2011-2012 yearbook, he is the mascot most likely to call you 'dude'.[3]

History

• The original Penguin Band was from Penguin Chat.^[12]
• In Penguin Chat 3, all the band members were Old Blue and played different instruments.
• In 2006, they were a Hawaiian band, with little to no individualization between them. Until the Western Party, the band only had three members. Franky joined the band sometime before the party.
• In 2008, they became a country band, and they finally became meetable as mascots.
• In 2011, they became a rock band, with unique clothing and new instruments.
• In the Make Your Mark: Ultimate Jam, they appeared every 20 minutes with Cadence, singing at the Epic Show.
• They appeared with slightly altered appearances in Anchors Aweigh.

Appearances

Parties

Winter Luau

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.

Western Party

After The Band did their performance in the Night 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) the Band Background.

Music Jam 2010

The Penguin Band once again played at the Iceberg and met penguins in the backstage room and on the main stage. They were also in a 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 have 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 played a new song called Better Days.

Make Your Mark: Ultimate Jam

They played the song The Party Starts Now with Cadence at the Epic Show. They also made a few rare meetable appearances around Club Penguin Island. They were also meetable during the party's construction.

The Fair 2014

They returned after more than a year at The Fair 2014, as confirmed by Polo Field. However, they were just performing, and did not waddle around as mascots. They played the song Anchors Aweigh on the puffle-shaped stage in the Park Entrance, and if you clicked on them while performing you could get their background.

Music Jam 2014

On an episode of The Spoiler Alert, it was confirmed that they would appear at the Music Jam 2014 along with Cadence. They were meetable from July 17 to July 29. They can also be seen in the Music Cruise at the stage performing with Cadence for the new song Best Day Ever or waddling at the Music Cruise rooms.

The Fair 2015

Like the previous year, they played the song Anchors Aweigh on the puffle shaped stage in the Park Entrance, and if you clicked on them while performing you could get their background. They did not waddle around as mascots.

Trivia

• The Penguin Band are the oldest mascots in Club Penguin first appearing in January 2006 and Penguin Chat 2.
• There was a scavenger hunt shortly after the Western Party where penguins had to find The Band's instruments. Once players found the instruments, their penguin was rewarded with a Band Background featuring The Band and their autographs. Another background was given out during the Music Jam party when The Penguin Band went on break.
• The Penguin Band originally made about 3 appearances at parties a year, but this was later decreased to only one party a year, the Music Jam.
• 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.
• Only Franky's original acoustic guitar and G Billy's updated Drumsticks was available to penguins.
  • G Billy's original drumsticks weren't as they were a different colour (silver)
• If you combine the latter half of G Billy's and Stompin' Bob's names, it will result in Billybob.
