Cherry Poppin' Daddies-Zoot Suit Riot

[rwk1983]

Man they fell fast..............they beat tonic to the washed up circuit.

from decently big hit in 97' to playing a free concert at Mills Point in 98'

[mitch26]

@rwk1983 They were well paid for the show, there was nothing at all washed up about the band here they were still at the height of their popularity when they played here and ask anyone in this area they played an awesome show, check the crowd.... They lost a lot of popularity over the next couple years, putting them on the Warp tour was a big mistake.

[rwk1983]

@mitch26 Ok dude but tonic dude tonic in 99'. completely washed up and it was like a joke at their concert (although they played pretty well) and they had a decently big hit in 97' (like the cherry p d's) and i just figured...............

[Skibz778]

@mitch26 How was being on the Warped Tour a mistake? They toured the globe with Warped...it probably got them tons more exposure than simple radio or TV airplay.

[mitch26]

@Skibz778 You're right I wasn't thinking when I spouted that gem, and their earlier music was geared more towards the kids.

[jairchilo]

Yeahhh Swing Rocks its ska for the late 40s haha, in this concert, there were even swing dancers on the place, cool!!!!

[CastingCrownz]

zoot suit riot rocked LOL

[WnD365]

its great on the bass both upright and electric

[jrod27puerto]

actually, they are swing-ska. there the kind of band I want to start.

[Bossdjstylee]

skank the night away

[EnoLikesToMosh]

...There not ska buddy. Gotta be swing with it ;]

[jrod27puerto]

actually they have a classic mento/jamacan ska beat. they're swing-ska. ;-)

[grtdthmetal]

no shit, its obviously swing, cause ska sucks

[Skibz778]

CPD were very active in the ska scene before the swing revival. In fact, a lot of their work prior to and after the 'Zoot Suit Riot' era contains a lot of ska, reggae and ska-esque elements.

[m0u53m4t]

Sweeet :)

That looks like an awesome gig :)

[kidwonder70]

i enjoy playing this on trupet... an amzing swing song

[luckyoneTK]

[ECsnow33]

Nah i agree with kidwonder, it is very fun on the trumpet lol

[vidimah]

Like it that you all are so nice dressed up. :))))

vidimah and bertsbreeze

[rreemmzzrruullee]

haha in the beginning when there dancing its like a pit.

[BloggerMusicMan]

The swing revival was a very good thing. This video shows that.

[mitch26]

This was the biggest show that ever played that park. There were thousands of folks there that day for the band. The City of Hampton got greedy after that and had dollar signs flashing in their eyes, so greedy they sabotaged the station that was running the shows so there were no more.

[awesomesteve]

that video editing is unnessesary

[mitch26]

I have no idea what you're talking about this is a complete clip and there was no editing whatsoever. I'm really not good at that sort of thing all I did was add the titles. The effect that you see is photo mode which I used to capture motion and whenever someone was blocking the camera.

[subtleteyes]

its right there

there is editing the

snap shots or what ever lol

[mitch26]

Pfff, that's not editing, it's an effect that's added when shooting. While it was a novelty that I had fun playing with, most of the time I used it was when I noted that someone was walking in front of the camera or to change shots without making folks dizzy sweeping the view around. But ya, sometimes I got carried away:)

[AliceLJohnson83]

i can hear zuit soot riot.OMG zoot suit riot...dman dyslexia...LOL

[Dbob1819]

Strange how they seem to keep the energy flowing. Very nice work by the entire band.

[troddsy]

go back to high school

[skiracer1496]

i don't understand the lyrics at all

[morbidXromantic]

I was actually here at this show. :P I was a fun time.

[humblestumble]

I love how people start swing dancing instead of moshing.

[Caboose2390]

...its a freakin swing song..not a mosh song...of corse they are going to swing dance..someone named you is out of the loop

[LandoDaLover]

nice song! Swing is t3h Sh1t!!

[skiracer1496]

so... why would you search a swing song if you think that "Swing is t3h Sh1t!!"?

[mitch26]

I think they mean it's good sh1t

[skiracer1496]

o, my bad... sry

[KettyKatBlubbed]

lol  retard

the song is ok

[annwyn321]

Most amazing thing about this, is that his voice is ACTUALLY that good. Usually that's not the case...

[mxcrazy]

This is probably the worst cover of this song.Though the original is one of the best songs ever recorded.

[humblestumble]

wtf - this isn't a cover.

[BBQjust4u]

I really do enjoy this kind of music, and the Cherry Poppin' Daddies are great, but you just can't beat the originals like Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman.

[mitch26]

Maybe, but they're dead and don't benefit from folks that listen to the, I feel it's important to support living artists especially those that are starting out.

[gdog8790]

yes you can

[cmgilmore]

"who's that whispering in the trees its two

sailors and they're on leave", OMG
