Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers

Say what you will about Roger Clyne’s talents (which are substantial), when it comes to instigating a party, the native Arizonan is skilled. The stories surrounding the raucous Refreshments shows he was a part of back during the Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy days have been trumped by the kind of off-the-hook wingdings he hosts as frontman for the Peacemakers. The tequila-soaked “Circus Mexicus” beach blast held in Puerto Peñasco draws thousands of Peaceheads every year, for instance, and on Halloween, Clyne & Co. rocked the Marquee Theatre in Tempe over two nights, one a retro ’70s fest, the other a toga party. Suffice it to say, RCPM’s New Year’s Eve celebration at the Celebrity Theatre is likely to be just as action-packed. No opening acts are scheduled, so the band will likely devote the entire evening celebrating New Year’s Eve with songs like “Mekong” and “Nada,” as well as tales of Mexican moonshine.
