The 1996 film Swingers brought the West Coast Swing Revival scene to the rest of the country. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy were the house band for the club in the film, and they were quickly signed to a major label as a result. Like other retro bands -- Cherry Poppin' Daddies, for instance -- their sound seems to owe as much to old cartoons, rock 'n 'roll, and Oingo Boingo as to '40s (or even '50s) Swing music.
