Watch "I Love American Music," the swingin' new video from Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Most music fans remember Cherry Poppin’ Daddies from their double-platinum 1999 single “Zoot Suit Riot,” but that swing number was a bit of a double-edged sword for the band. The band had been underground swing legends, but got a little miffed at all the Johnny-Come-Latelies to the scene and, rather than making more swing records, experimented with everything from Motown to Caribbean music to funk. 14 years later, though, the group is finally releasing another swing record.
