    any opinions on the Squirrel Nut Zippers?

    they will be at neighborhood on Oct 25. $25

    and The Old Ceremony too (Django Reinhardt's current band).

    neighborhood site says this:
    The Squirrel Nut Zippers were founded by Jim "Jimbo" Mathus and his then-wife Katharine Whalen in Carrboro, North Carolina, along with Chris Phillips, Don Raleigh and Ken Mosher. The group made its live debut in Chapel Hill a few months later. Stacy Guess and Tom Maxwell joined later. The band was initially lumped into the "lounge" movement, along with Combustible Edison, and credited as part of the brief swing music revival of the 1990s. Unlike such bands as Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, who mostly synthesized jump blues and a Gene Krupa backbeat, the Zippers defied description, incorporating everything from Harlem Hot Music, Cab Calloway, Johnny Ace, Delta Blues, Raymond Scott, Fats Waller, Django Reinhardt, Tom Waits, and klezmer. The song "Hell", a single, that peaked at number 13, was calypso music in the tradition of 1930s artists such as Lord Executor and The Growler. We are excited to welcome them back to North Carolina for a swingin good time!

    GREAT SHOW

    Just got in for seeing Squirrel Nut Zippers at the Dana Auditorium in GSO. It was a great show. Only draw back was that it was at a venue that you really did not have anywhere to get up and dance. Definitely recommend seeing them the next time you get a chance.
