Squirrel Nut Zippers – Meant To Be

Biography
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States (1993 – 2000, 2007 – present)
Squirrel Nut Zippers, featuring original and founding members Katharine Whalen, Jimbo Mathus, Chris Phillips, Je Widenhouse and Stuart Cole. On tour the band will be performing material from the entire catalogue. In addition there is usually a live performance with their celebrated animated video for the song The Ghost of Stephen Foster (beautifully done by the folks from the Simpsons).
Squrirrel Nut Zippers was also a candy popular in the 30’s
The band still rejoices at the difficulty people have pigeonholing their unmistakable sound. A perpetually evolving, hybrid-stew of Southern roots traditions, blues and jazz, the Zippers were aptly tagged “‘30s punk” by one critic. They have always flirted with a muse most concerned with ghosts, love gone wrong, fever-dreams and stories unearthed from days past. Centered around the beguiling vocals of Katherine Whalen and the anachronistic windup toy that is Jimbo Mathus, the Zippers promise to both charm and confound.

I'd call them "swing", because they play swing. I'm sure that's what they were going for in the first place.

Hot is probably the greatest accident purchase!!! I actually bought them off ebay, because of the Andrew Bird occasion.

"BEWARE OF IMITATION" Kalnoky could have wasted a lot less of his and everybody's time if he had taken this warning into consideration.
