November 30, 2023

Last Week, Cherry Poppin Daddies had an amazing stint here in Seattle at Dimitrious Jazz Alley, But it's this morning CPD, popped the top off, for the good news surrounding their upcoming Album! "At the Pink Rat" and releasing a New single from the album!

“Kings Of Swing” is the latest single off Cherry Poppin Daddies’ upcoming album “At The Pink Rat”, which will officially be released in full on July 26th, 2024! Cherry Poppin Daddies were very excited on their social media revealing the cover artwork for the album, which was created by the talented Patrick McPheron. Here is what Steve Perry had to say about his original idea for “At The Pink Rat” and how “Kings Of Swing” fits into that vision:

At The Pink Rat” was originally conceived in my head, as a live, Broadway type stage production, but any thought of that got kiboshed by the pandemic, unfortunately. “Kings of Swing” was the opener that would set the stage for the proceedings to come. It details the emergence of an East coast, rust belt, group of teenagers who work in Italian restaurants by day and by night are the impresarios of what essentially amounts to a punk rock Speakeasy housed in a strip mall. In this WW2 era decorated club they are the house band and they play original, hybrid Swing/ Punk Rock material. The audience is all dressed accordingly and are Lindy Hopping and throwing aerials all over the place during a frenzied performance where this band are the Kings of the scene. It’s kind of Saturday Night Fever meets Swing Kids in a destroyed once grand, art deco, urban landscape like say Buffalo, NY.
