Last month the Jazz Perpetrators said a musical farewell to the band’s founder and godfather, Bob Cuellar, Mister Superbad hisself, as he relocated to Florida and the warmer, sunnier side of things. From all accounts, he’s already started burning it up down there, so all you snow birds have been givBob croppeden fair warning – when you hear all that hip Hammond stuff being played poolside, you’ll know who it is.

Now a quartet, the Jazz Perpetrators will continue spreading their patented “high spirits, low volume” philosophy at the John Barry Restaurant and Bar in the O’Callaghan Hotel. As a result of their well-received debut there earlier this month, the Perps will be Perps at O'Callaghanplaying in the pub on the first Sundays of the month, which means this coming Sunday, April 3, is your next opportunity to relax with a drink or a bite to eat and enjoy the new Perps playing their new material as well as their traditional favorites.  Downbeat is at 7 pm with music through about 10 pm.  Look for dinner and drink specials while the music is playing, too.

Boppin’ the Burnie with Bob

Posted: February 23, 2015 in Latest News

Your favorite musical miscreants, the Jazz Perpetrators, are celebrating a special event with a special gig this Friday, February 27, at one of their old stomping grounds, the Thai Café in Glen Burnie.

Original Perp founder Bob “Superbad” Cuellar, all-around hip guy and purveyor of Hammond organ funkitude, is getting ready to leave cloudy/rainy/snowy Maryland behind and permanently relocate to year-‘round-sunny Florida. Although he won’t be departing until June, he’s got plenty to keep him busy between now and then in order to get ready for the move, so his fellow Perps have decided to get ahead of the curve and throw him a party/open jam while he’s still got some time on his calendar.

Because the Thai Café is the birthplace of the band, this will be a special night, so come on out and get down with Mister Superbad and his fellow Perps. All of our musician friends are welcome to come and sit in with us as the music kicks off around 7:30-8pm, depending on how much Thai beer is consumed before then.

The award-winning Thai Café is located at 7477 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd. in downtown Glen Burnie. For directions and menu, check out their web site at:

See you there, weather permitting (which is the main reason Bob’s heading south in his bad-ass Mustang convertible).

Santa’s greasing up the runners of the sled, the reindeer are working out in the gym, elves are making toys, and you’re probably looking for a place to get away from it all before the whole thing explodes in a pepperminty blast of Amazon overnight shipping, mobs at the mall, and light stringing (whoops, another one just went out).

Relax and get into the hipper side of Christmas by coming on down to the Crush Kitchen & Wine House in Annapolis on Thursday, December 18 to get an earful of Santa’s sonic merrymakers, the Jazz Perpetrators. The Perps will start their holiday hootin’ and honkin’ at 8pm and continue until 11, which coincidentally is exactly the same as their usual gig time.

So give yourself the gift of relaxation before the madness kicks into high gear and drives you completely nuts. You’ll thank yourself for it, even if you really do like fruit cake. (Honestly, who eats that?)

Crush is located at 114 West Street in Annapolis, right next to the Loews Annapolis Hotel and just a few blocks from Church Circle. Dinner reservations can be made by phone (410-216-9444) or online: http://www.crushwinehouse.com.
