RCPM is a rock band from Tempe, Arizona, USA. The band is typically referred to by the fans as "The Peacemakers" or by the abbreviation "RCPM", and you can join the Peace Core. The Peacemakers' music is known to cross genres, with earlier songs showing a more Country influence, and more recent songs sounding more like a modern pop song with a Reggae/South of the Border influence.
Twice a year, a concert is held in Rocky Point/Puerto Peñasco for what is called "Circus Mexicus". Circus Mexicus features a 2 set concert that is likely to last as long as 4 hours. The following morning an unofficial "hangover bash" (the Mañanathon) is held at JJ's Cantina in nearby Cholla Bay where band members have been known to mingle with the fans and sign autographs.
Current members of the band are:
- Roger Clyne – lead vocals, rhythm guitar, harmonica (1998–present)
- Jim Dalton – lead guitar, backing vocals (2009-present)
- Nick Scropos – bass, backing vocals (1998, 2004–present)
- Paul "P.H." Naffah – drums, percussion (1998–present)
June 6, 2009. Make your reservations and be prepared for a rocking good time!
