Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

Back in 1996, the movie Swingers ushered in the swing revival—which was mercifully short-lived—and brought Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Southern California swing band that served as the movie’s house act, along with it. In the rearview mirror, it all looks pretty clunky: the movie, the revival, that band name. But hey, it was the late nineties, grunge was on its way out, Bill Clinton was still in office. People were feeling good, and they wanted to dance. Now people are feeling bad, and they still want to dance. This’ll do.
