Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is one of my favorite bands. They were a major force in the neo-swing movement, and in my opinion have the most staying power of any band of that genre or period. They tour relentlessly, and I've attended and danced (swing/lindy hop) at two of their shows, as they often make sure there is a dance floor available.
They have a new album coming out called "How Big Can You Get? A Tribute to Cab Calloway". My wife and I saw them practicing and performing many of the songs when they were on tour last year, and FINALLY the album is completed and being released. Pre-order the album to receive a CD signed by the band, and a chance to win 4 concert tickets! I can't tell exactly how long this promotion is going on, but the contest for the concert tickets ends 3/25/09 and the album will officially be in stores on 4/21/09. I'm placing my order right after this blog entry.
Go see them when they come to your area, and they probably will eventually as they are CONSTANTLY in motion. Their shows are high energy and fun. They tend to hang around after the show to sign autographs and besides being great musicians, seem to be fun and friendly guys -
