Mes Chers Amis - Ga Lee Chooh!

Don't be coo-yon! Find your best beads, shave your backs, slip into clean drawz, put in your teeth, get out of your cahbin, grab your podnah and get down to the Power & Light to celebrate Mardi Gras February 13th 2010 from 9pm to 12am. This chu-chut is going to rock!

And if you don't understand the above cajun language I will translate...Perpetual Change is playing at Power & Light on the Live Stage February 13th 2010 from 9pm - 12am and we would like you to be there.

Happy Mardi Gras. Hope to see you at the Power & Light! Das right!

IMPORTANT NOTE! The huge ceiling heaters will be turned on so you will be comfortable outside with a jacket.

Allo, New Year's Eve...hmmmm...how many of them do you have? 1, maybe 2 or 3 a year? How many of them count? How many New Year's Eve celebrations really count each year? Sure...you can sit home on the 31st, play it safe, keep your inhibitions locked away so that nobody knows how you really feel...OR...you can come out to Coach's on 148th and Metcalf, drink until you are tipsy (in a legally biblical sense), share your feelings with total strangers or maybe even people you know, dance the night away (or sit down while your significant other dances the night away), offend, sway, belch, toot, fall down, scratch, dig for ear wax, and even clip your toe nails given you are mid-way through a new found relationship with a bottle of Kansas City's own award winning Clear10 Vodka. Is there a better way to ring in the new year than to have those squinting red eyes that need no introduction as the predictable words that accompany them sound something like, "I love you man!" Jobin would be proud.

If you can reach in the pocket book and grab a couple of tickets to Coach's for New Year's Eve you can look forward to an incredibly awesome buffet of food for dinner featuring Prime Rib and Smoked Salmon, an open bar that is open from 8pm to 1am, Perpetual Change (a rock and roll cover band), party favors, donuts @ midnight, a champagne toast @ midnight, and a cab ride home for the drunken ones who need it. Did I mention there is an open bar from 8pm to 1am? The owner of Coach's is getting out the good stuff for the open bar...it will be an incredible night and an incredible New Year's Eve for those daring enough to attend. To buy tickets call Coach's at 913-897-7070, email bdarby@coach-s.com, or stop by Coach's on 148th and Metcalf. http://www.coach-s.com/kansas-city-sports-bar/events.php (scroll down on his page). As a special New Year's Eve gift Perpetual Change will be performing the incredible "Dance, Dance, Drop Your Pants" song at Midnight. Oh what a special time...oh what a special song. On behalf of everyone associated with Perpetual Change, Happy New Year and we wish you the best for 2010. Okay so is it 'Ohh-Ten' or is it just 'Ten' or is it 'Two Thousand Ten'? I personally like "Ohh Ten" because people correct me when I say it. It is kind of like when you are first learning to count...nine, ten, eleventeen, twelveteen...nineteen, tenteen, twentyoneteen, etc. Oh well...I am going to the hardware store...peace.

No...Christmas and New Year's Eve are not on the same day this year, we are just giving you two opportunities to get out of the house, grab a brewski, and see people you haven't seen in a while...the guys in Perpetual Change!

We are playing at The Brooksider the day after Christmas and Coach's on 148th and Metcalf for a New Year's Eve blowout!

Now that Tiger Woods has totally ruined my Christmas since I can't hear the words "Ho, Ho, Ho" and not think of Tiger Wood's 'girls', I am looking forward to getting up on stage, hiding behind the speakers, and strumming the geetar. At least I won't be thinking of Tiger...heck even Wilt Chamberlin and Gene Simmons of KISS think Tiger has a set bigger than Godzilla to mack-onda-hos the way that he did. Why am I the only comedian in the country (okay I'm not) to be waiting for the movie-istically talented to have fun with his "I am Tiger Woods" commercial that ran years ago but instead of all the kids saying "I am Tiger Woods" we need still shots of his hose-beasts saying "I slept with Tiger Woods"..."No! I slept with Tiger Woods!"..."No you dint ho, I slept with Tiger Woods and I have the dirty text messages to prove it!" You know...that kind of commercial. Any press is good press right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAnlcW_ILyw it starts about 12 seconds into the clip. I digress...oh wait...not done yet...

George Brett thought he had it "poopie" until Tiger's deal. George B. is feeling relatively great now versus Tiger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6403VV2oyu0 I still can't figure out if this is about George or my buddy Mike Koontz...hmmmm.

Heck, even Billie Dee Williams is cashing in on Tiger's deal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgiCX_y1BW8 Can you get enough?

So after Santa eats the cookies, drinks the milk and leaves the gravy, you will be worn out...and that is okay...just rest, sleep, recover and get ready to go out and party either the day after Christmas at The Brooksider or on New Year's Eve at Coach's on 148th and Metcalf.

The New Year's Eve show at Coach's is going to be an OPEN BAR all night, have a 5-Star buffet, us playing, party favors, champagne toast, and donuts at midnight. After you are all snockered up, Coach's is offering free cab rides home for the intoxicated who should not be driving. The NYE tickets are $79 but you would spend that on a round of shots (okay a big round) anywhere else. Coach's will truly be the best value in town...according to the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, TMZ, The Huffington Post, GreenPeace, PETA, and the entire country of Krakozia. Ahhyeah!

Once again we will have the pole out this year at The Brooksider for airing of grievances, and feats of strength for those celebrating Festivus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS7-jcsB_WQ

Stay Golden Pony-Boy and I hope we'll see you toward the end of December.

Vacation, holiday, time off, partying, letting go, maybe even wetting yourself...I don't know...the best thing you can do the night before Thanksgiving to get ready for Thanksgiving is go out and have a good time. I suggest The Brooksider...in Brookside...on Brookside Plaza...www.brooksiderbarandgrill.com...for something different the night before Thanksgiving. Perpetual Change will be playing from 9pm - 1am and the tambourines will be fired up and ready to go.

Make a decision to get out of your house and enjoy yourself the night before Thanksgiving at The Brooksider. If you don't, you are going to wish you did when you are stuck inside a house on Thanksgiving...wherever you are...and not asleep on the couch because you got a good night's sleep the night before instead of lighting up the night. To heck with a good night's sleep...party like it's 1999, stay out late, drink a little or a lot if you have a ride home, and put yourself in a position to be tired, sleepy and ready to check out from the responsibility of interacting with relatives you only see twice a year. Free of charge we will empower you to eat Thanksgiving dinner and pass out wherever you sit...and not really care about it because the night before at The Brooksider was worth it.

You won't remember the details of Thanksgiving 2009 ten years from now, but you will remember the details of coming out to The Brooksider to see Perpetual Change the night before Thanksgiving, getting wild, living life, going crazy, dancing your buttocks off, and making memories. Decide to have a good time. Come hang out with us the night before Thanksgiving at The Brooksider. -Jim The Motionless Rocker

Hello, Perpetual Change is playing this Saturday October 10th at The Brooksider in Brookside...on Brookside Plaza. The summer is over, you probably wore long sleeves today, the cold sucks, so what better way to fight back than to get yourself down to The Brooksider Saturday night? We have some new songs in our line-up, and are ready to get back into the swing of things. Have you seen the remodeling job at The Brooksider? You should come down and check it out. The chance of you walking through the front door of The Brooksider and immediately falling down the stairs to your death is gone as they have covered up the boom boom room East stairs. I don't know what else you need to entice you to come down, hang out, listen to the band, and to quote Vince Vaughn for the 5th time, "...make some bad decisions." It has been a challenging year as I have been personally effected by friends dying, friend's children dying, friend's siblings dying, and news that many people I know have been diagnosed with challenging diseases. Why do I bring it up? You guessed it! To get you off your azz to intentionally decide to get out Saturday night, see people you know, have a good time, get slapped in the azz, wink at someone or someones you don't know and go "zup ladies", wear clothes younger than you should (I did that the other day...pretty funny), and LIVE your life while you are still here. It was a mission statement... I hope to see you Saturday night at The Brooksider and leave you with a few good George Carlin comments: "You know an odd feeling? Sitting on the toilet and eating a chocolate candy bar." "One can never know for sure what a deserted area looks like. " "Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that." "The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live." "The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going." "Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things." "Fighting for peace is like boinking for virginity." (boinking is my word...well not my word, just the one I replaced his word with) "Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck." Please don't get stuck on the roof Saturday, Jim The Motionless Rocker

THANK YOU, Thank You, thank you to all who came out to the Power & Light for the show on August 7th. It was a blast. I have included a link to the photos taken that night by Brian Rice as well as a video he took. He is offering all of his photos for half price until the end of the month. When he was there he took a lot with the crowd in them there so if you were there, there is a good chance you are somewhere in a photo there. Here is a link to Brian Rice's photos: http://briantium.smugmug.com/gallery/9196450_kE6QU#616570370_3CDYR Here is a link to "Never Tear Us Apart" featuring Mr. Trey DeBose ladies and gentlemen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62lg75mPBaw *Also courtesy of Brian Rice WE NEED YOUR PHOTOS! On the Perpetual Change website is a section where you can upload the photos YOU took at Power & Light (or any Perpetual Change show you have photos). Dave Shulz or I will review them and put them up on the site, give you credit for them if you like, and then the whole world will be able to share your experience. We would really appreciate it if you could take a couple of seconds and upload your pics...we are appreciative people. Here is the link for you to SHARE YOUR PHOTOS WITH THE WORLD ON THE PERPETUAL CHANGE WEBSITE: http://www.perpetual-change.com/upload1.cfm We are playing this weekend at Jerry's Bait Shop in Lee's Summit on Saturday August 22nd from 8pm -8:45pm if you are in the area. August 29th we will be at The Brooksider and would like to tear the place apart if you can fit it in your schedule. Thank you for supporting our band. This has been an incredibly fun ride. Jim The Motionless Rocker

Please join us at the Power & Light District's LIVE stage August 7th from 9pm - Midnight. It is a "buy your favorite drink" night so be sure to order what you like...that way you have nobody to blame but yourself when you wake up in a strange place after the show. "Buy your favorite drink" night won out over "bring a hooker" night, "Bring two bunnies in a cage" night, and "Bring a plastic friend" night. But the last one was a close second.

Life is too short to sit home and watch T.V. Get off the couch, get your thumb out from the inside of your boxers, put away the potato chips, free your caged guy (like the one from Pulp Fiction), and get ready to enjoy the great experience of the Power & Light with us.

I ran out of funny again so please bring 10 of your favorite jokes to the show (Ensley is stuck in Boston) and be ready to have a joke-off to see who is the funniest during the break. "Hey Bob, what are you doing Friday night?" "Well Bill, I am going to P&L to joke-off!" "Wow Bob that sounds disgusting?" "Maybe Bill, but I am going to joke-off while everyone is watching." "Eeewwww Bob! Bring a towel I guess." I think you get the idea.

We hope you can make it out. This should be a rager.

Hello! Okay...I have had it with celebrity deaths. This needs to stop for a while and I have talked with the folks at TMZ.com to give the world a frickin' break. Some things are out of our control but while YOU are still breathing you have a choice...you can choose to sit and watch the world pass you by on a Saturday night, or get off your buttocks, celebrate life, and join us for a cocktail July 18th 2009 at The Brooksider. Michael Jackson, David Carradine, Steve McNair, Billie Mays, Ed McMahon, and Farrah Fawcett won't be there. But we will be resurrecting 80's music just like JC demonstrated resurrection in the milleniallistically correct 4-digit year of 0033. People probably won't still be talking about Perpetual Change 2000 years from now but you have to shoot for something...and it worked for Bill S. Preston and Ted "Theodore" Logan right?

The last show at Coach's was a blast. Thank you to all who came out and endured my dancing. I had a rough bout with Jaeger-bombs and various shots that made me play and behave in an unusual way. The band stopped about 12:45am but I think I was still playing at 2:30am. Nobody told me it was over and I woke up on Coach's patio the next morning at 6am in my underwear with pink bunny ears on my head, a dog collar around my neck, a halter top protecting my newly tattooed nipples, a toilet seat cover for a life jacket (Ensley), sitting in a plastic kiddie pool of beer-water with a homeless guy named Fred who kept asking me for a smoke in between his cuddling and singing of 'Jimmy Cracked Corn'. It was a crazy night. The back of the cop car was nice though and the only reason I tell you the story is because my parole officer is coming to The Brooksider on July 18th at 10pm to see if I do it again.

Life is short. Death sucks. Regrets are no good so get your life right, love your parents, family, wife, kids, apologize for being an azz...and once all that is done, get out to The Brooksider and have as much fun as you can with Perpetual Change before you pass-on and hover next to the 70's poster version of Farrah Fawcett in the front row of the Vatican sponsored 14,000 seat 'Heavenly Arena', with your halo-lighter lit, eating your nachos & cheese fries, laughing a bit and drinking a beer as Ed McMahon introduces Michael Jackson before he starts his opening night of the "I was acquitted so I'm in Heaven" run-on-sentence tour. I know...Chuck Norris isn't dead because death is afraid of Chuck Norris...

Okay enough of that. Did I mention we are playing Saturday night July 18th, 2009 10pm at The Brooksider?

Hug'em if you got'em. Jim

Hello, Although I am sure most of you have www.perpetual-change.com set as the home page of your web-browser, and know it from start to finish, I thought I would just send out a quick update of the new features available on the Perpetual Change Website. 1. PC Merchandise. I am still looking for the brave soul who is going to purchase the Creepy Wall Clock. Not only is it a brilliant piece of art but NO ONE who sees it will be unable to notice it...and then of course be unable to watch anything else but a scary movie. Once again I digress (from 2 years worth of emails), PC Merchandise is unique, exclusive, different, unlike anything else, rare, and uncommon, but in addition to all that you won't find stuff like it anywhere else. http://perpetual-change.com/pcstore.cfm At least get a PC shirt and wear it to a topless beach.

2. Vote Us into Playing Your Songs! If you go to our home page (or homie page if you are in the Perpetual Change gang), on the bottom left you will see a link to "Help shape future PC shows - vote for your favorites from our set list!" Look at the list of songs...vote for the ones you like. We will play any song in the world...as long as it is on this list. Have an idea for a song we should play? Here is the official process for requests: Get really drunk and tell Mike (the lead singer of Perpetual Change) what your song idea is in the middle of us doing a set...preferably in the middle of a song while he is singing or playing bass...scream really loudly at him...it will appear he can't hear you...but you know he can...so scream it louder...until he writes it down...he loves that! :) 3. UPLOAD Your Own Photos! If you look down on the right hand side of our website you will see the grammatically fun blurb that says "Got some photos from one of our shows? Upload them here and we'll post them!" It is right under the PC Pics thing with the camera icon. This where you can upload photos you have taken from any Perpetual Change show and we will post them. Please nobody read the following: I am not asking you to upload inappropriate photos of yourself anymore Kevin H., but just so you know if you do, it is only me who will see them and not Playgirl. I had to have eye surgery, a new trash can, Pepto Bismol, and a shrink... 4. PC RADIO! On the left side of our website is a button/icon that says "Launch PC Radio". There are all kinds of different songs that are available for you to play. How they got there...I have no idea. How long they will stay...no idea. Click it, launch it, sit back and enjoy. A poem titled "Launch PC Radio"- by Jim Parker: Some songs are Perpetual Change, some are not, some are 80's, and kinda hot, most are good so few are bad, listening to PC Radio will make you glad.

You can't get that kind of beautiful expression of soul just anywhere. One last thing...we are playing this Saturday night at Coach's on 148th and Metcalf...9pm-12am. From what I can tell, this one is going to be a rager. Come early and get ready to go at it. The owner of Coach's would truly appreciate it if you would bring him some kind of sports memorabilia for his walls. He doesn't care what it is as long as it is sporting related like a...hockey stick, puck, badmittion racket, basketball net, sideline chalk, bowling lane oil, scoreboard, wooden floor, bench chair, tape, soap from the shower, tough actin' Tenactin, inspirational speech, socks, turf, grounds crew, a refereee, rule book, coin for a coin toss, Polo jockey, curling stick, basketball goal, cheerleader, you get the picture. I hope to see everyone of you reading this Saturday night. Peeeeeeeeeeeeesh! Jim The Motionless Rocker "Great poems like 'Launch PC Radio', actually move me."

Wow... I just wanted to thank all who came to The Brooksider show Saturday night. It was a blast. There was craziness in the audience, craziness on stage, and I counted 3 people that face-planted into the stage steps after having one too many drinky poos...shweet. We were blessed to have guest appearances from John Henderson of KC/DC (the AC/DC Tribute band), as well as Tony Trevino of Rattle & Hum (the U2 Tribute band). Those guys are amazing. There was creative tambourine activity as many body parts contributed to the rhythm of the music via the gluteus maximus, jumping, raised hands, and hair shaking. I am sending out a call to all tambourine players who can keep time...practice up for June 20th at Coach's...we need you.

We are doing an EARLY SHOW Saturday night June 20th at Coach's on 148th and Metcalf starting at 9pm and going to 1am. Call your neighbors, bring your friends, give the fathers in your household the ultimate Father's Day gift...a night out drinking so that he has a reason to sleep in on Father's Day. Eh? Saturday night...June 20th...Coach's on 148th and Metcalf...EARLY SHOW... 9pm...9PM...9PM...9PM! See you there... Jim
