5.0 out of 5 stars Swing is UN-DEAD, March 19, 2000

This review is from: Swing Is Dead (Audio CD)

When I first saw these guys play, I fell in love with their stage performance. After purchasing the first album, I fell in love with the music. And now they have gone into the studio, and turned out this beautiful, warped, wonderfully twisted ride through a haunted mansion. I find myself listening to it in all moods, for the music varies greatly - from madness to love to hate to crazy joy. This band not only knows the classics to a T - but they know how to update it without making it sound disturbingly modern. This is the only band that I ever go to see when they grace my town, because every show is mind boggling. Buy this album and enjoy the ride - if it were $100 I would still buy it twice. Swing Or DIE!

The only way to describe this CD is it is a musical mixture of Tim Burton and Glenn Miller. It sounds great, looks great, and is more entertaining than a drunk monkey in a pink tutu...

Buy this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you can't see them live, this is the next best thing, May 7, 2000

This is quite possibly one of the best swing bands out there. Their unique style of gothic swing is like no other. The energy this band brings is unparalleled and their CD captures that perfectly.
