Some 13 music groups from about every genre performed at Paperfest. RPM and Sonic Circus headlined Friday night, when Paperfest drew an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 people. RPM sings everything from U2 to Kenny Chesney and it had the crowd chanting for more by the end of their show. "I love performing here." said band member Don Dix. "I like being able to have fun and have the crowd see you having fun. It's a community event, free for everyone and all run on volunteers. To this day they've stayed true to that and it's pretty amazing." - The Post Crescent - July, 2005

Bio
RPM is one of the top drawing regional cover bands in Wisconsin. For the past 17 years RPM has been performing festivals, clubs, private events and major concerts. Bringing their straight forward "have fun" attitude, RPM always gets the crowd going and "has fun" doing just that. Professional sound and lighting and a professional attitude also add to the reason that RPM is voted one of the best bands in the Fox Valley five years running.
RPM originated in the town of Navarino Wisconsin in 1987. As young inexperienced musicians, they set out to a scene they knew little of, but found what it took to be successful in an area full of talented musicians. Their brand of party music was something people quickly became fond of and have been coming to see RPM for over 17 years. In those years, RPM has developed a very strong following of devoted and dedicated fans.
With the current line-up of Joe Perz(lead guitar, vocals), Don Dix(rhythm guitar, vocals), John Groff III(keyboards, organ, trumpet, vocals), Mark Budwit(drums, vocals) and Chris Okkerse(bass guitar, vocals) RPM performs a variety of music from rock to country, from U2 to Toby Keith and everything in between. Never one to shy away from a special song request, RPM will please every crowd in any style of event.
