 Several of the members are now active in a very popular Southern Indiana 50's / 60's band called The Duke Boys.In March and July 2005, the members of the 1954–55 group, now billed as simply the Comets after decades of controversy over the use of the name, made several high-profile concert appearances in New York City and Los Angeles organized by Martin Lewis as part of celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of rock and roll, the release of "Blackboard Jungle", the 50th anniversary of "Rock Around the Clock" hitting Number 1, and the 80th birthday of Bill Haley.During a concert at the Viper Room in West Hollywood on July 6, 2005, the Comets were joined on stage for one song by Gina Haley, the youngest daughter of Bill Haley; at a similar appearance in March they were joined by Haley's eldest son, John W. Haley.
