Tempe, Arizona, USA (1999 – present)

Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers is a rock band from Tempe, Arizona, USA. The band is typically referred to by fans by the abbreviation “RCPM”. The Peacemakers’ music is known to cross genres, with some songs showing a more Country influence, and others sounding more like a modern pop song.

Roger Clyne’s lyrics frequently showcase his Southwestern roots, and frequently imply images of cowboys, Federales, and references to Mexico and places in Arizona, amongst other Southwestern references.

After the demise of The Refreshments, a semi-successful rock band of the 1990s whose top radio hit was “Banditos,” former frontman Roger Clyne and drummer P.H. Naffah formed a new band that would be called Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers.

The two were joined by former Gin Blossom, Scott Johnson; Steve Larson, former guitarist for another Tempe band, Dead Hot Workshop; and bass player Danny White. They released their first album, Honky Tonk Union in 1999.Honky Tonk Union was released in limited quantities with a bonus live CD, Real to Reel. The next year, they released an extended version of Real to Reel as a stand-alone album.

The musical feel of Honky Tonk Union was a noticeable change from Clyne’s previous works with The Refreshments. Whereas The Refreshments had a prominent lead guitar and edgy southwestern rock feel, Honky Tonk Union displayed a heavier country influence along with focusing more on the singer-songwriter aspect of the band.

    I can never figure out quite how I feel about these guys. Sometimes they're just Mexi-twang-rockin' awesome and sometimes they descend into bright big-chord dumb-lyric sorority-girl-loves-it poppy "country" like latter-day Pat Green.

    Pixeltrash...you got it spot on...the best band ever live! More tequila, friendship, and good music than anyone has a right to. Can't wait till they come back to Denver again!

    No shouts for one of the best bands ever? For shame! I love RCPM. They are honest, fun, alive rock & roll. This is the music you play when you host a BBQ or go for a road trip.
