CLUB & PARTY BAND
Originally The Players Club stage attire consisted of matching Adidas Trefoil Throwback sweat suits. Unfortunately, after about a year of shows the insufferable heat made the sweat suits no longer a practical option for the party band after a three hour, high-energy performance, but what do to? ...One day at rehearsal, as a spontaneous joke, Anthony picked up his guitar and started busting out the early nineties 'NBA on NBC' theme song. By the second verse, we were all humming, drumming, and jumping in unison to this theme song that brought us back to our childhoods. Ultimately, this served to be the catalyst for the image that people know and associate with today: throwback authentic Adidas basketball jerseys covering the stage with a satisfying color spectrum. From a functional perspective, the new attire allowed for a much less restrictive feeling, and aesthetically, the high energy of an NBA contest translates well into our own level of energetic stage histrionics.
The 'CLUB' Attire
The Players Club (TPC) was founded in 2013. From the outset the focus was to simply, "Perform the best dance songs of the last fifty years with uncompromised energy." In keeping with that mission statement, TPC created their song list based on three categories: POP, CLUB, and DISCO. With such a broad spectrum, TPC has the ability to construct the best set list for multiple age demographics and virtually any occasion where high-energy dance music is required.

#23/#34 BRETT (VANILA) THUNDER
VOCALS
Besides possessing a four octave range due to extensive vocal training, Mr. Thunder rocks the stage with dance moves that would harken one back to the days of SOLID GOLD. The only thing fresher than Vanilla's dance steps would be the aroma emitted by his #23 Adidas throwback jersey after a three hour performance....P.U America! When Vanilla is not performing with THE PLAYERS CLUB, one is likely to find him finishing 3rd place at some neighborhood bar karaoke contest....a $5.00 gas card his ultimate reward.
#33/#40 ANTHONY AGELOPOUS
GUITAR
Anthony has been a musician his entire life, starting on a JCPenney's acoustic guitar and working his way up to a Les Paul! And after so many years of endless practice, its paid off - not only professionally, but also emotionally. He has performed in various bands ranging from Heavy Metal to Country and now with THE PLAYERS CLUB -great group of young stallions who all have the same goal: entertaining the masses with benign hooks, lots of explosions, and ultra-tight slacks. Music has always been good for young Anthony, that's why he finds it to be cheaper than therapy and far more effective.
#50/#32 J. CRYPT
DRUMS
For J. it was either music or Federal Prison...for the betterment of tax payers, music prevailed. J. minimizes his limited percussion abilities by hiding behind lots of stick tricks and a clear acrylic kit complete with sequenced LED lighting. While the visual is stimulating, the performance is rote and mundane. When pressed, he states that his life goal is to never have to set an alarm clock....once again, shootin' for the stars with THE PLAYERS CLUB.
32/#31 SHAUN JOHNSON
BASS GUITAR & VOCALS
Shaun LIKES playing his 4 string instrument and singing with THE PLAYERS CLUB, but he LOVES professional wrestling. In fact, Shaun performs with THE PAYERS CLUB only to support his unhealthy, ongoing obsession with Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. Shaun's amazing vocal prowess has afforded him the opportunity to serenade Mr. Beefcake at signing conventions on more than one occasion...all to the delight of Mr. Fuji, TerryFunk, and a myriad for strung out ex-wrestlers.
Besides wrestler worship, the 23 year-old spends the rest of his waking hours transcribing STYX's B-sides and selling them on Ebay.....Dennis DeYoung currently has a restraining order against the young admirer.
