Sooo Much More...

I used to go see the Cherry Poppin' Daddies in the early nineties up and down the Northwest coast. These guys are a phenomenal band. It is way too bad that they got labeled a swing band because that was really just part of their shtick.

I swear I have never had as sweaty a dance night at a club as I did when these guys were full speed ahead. And with Steve Perry at the wheel, they never had an off night. They could mix punk, ska, rock, funk, swing, anything into a set or even into one song. MC Large Drink was a kamikaze Cab Calloway. Dana on trumpet was just amazing and Dang on bass was ...
