Cherry Poppin' Daddies - Zoot Suit Riot

Today's Video Clip - Conceived as a counter against the rising grunge movement of the Northwest, the Cherry Poppin Daddies played an unconventional lyric-driven mixture of punk rock, swing music, funk and ska, among other styles, attracting a local cult following for their raunchy and frequently controversial performance art-like live shows, which often brought about bans and organized protest. Their subsequent studio albums saw the band further expanding their sound to encompass a variety of genres, notably country, psychedelia, alternative rock, Latin music and glam rock. But are mostly known for their swing inspired song Zoot Suit Riot from 2007.
