My friend fronted Atlantic/Lava's answer to the "new" swing trend. We have coauthored some tunes. His band: The Atomic Fireballs. They had songs on the American Pie, Scooby Doo, Three To Tango, and other sound tracks.
You will find that some of the purists may not dig the "new" swing thing of the late 90's, but I am a bit more open minded. I like the fact that these guys, while they may not swing as hard or as pure as the old school cats, are still opening kids minds to swing in general.
Just my two cents.
I can appreciate these guys. Glad it was a positive musical experience for you. I also used to dig Squirrel Nut Zippers.
