The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies are an American multi-genre rock band formed in 1988 in Eugene, Oregon. Conceived as a counter against the rising grunge movement of the Northwest, the Daddies played an unconventional lyric-driven mixture of punk rock, funk, ska and swing music, among other styles, attracting a local cult following for their wild and frequently controversial performance art-like live shows. The band spent the majority of the 1990s touring within the third wave ska scene before finding international success as part of the late 90s swing revival movement, namely for their hit single “Zoot Suit Riot” and double-platinum compilation album of the same name. By 2000, the Daddies’ mainstream popularity had declined with that of neo-swing, and the band took a brief hiatus before resuming touring duties, releasing their fifth album, the Latin-flavored “Susquehanna”, in 2008, and their second compilation, the all-ska “Skaboy JFK”, in 2009.
