BBVD concentrates on the swinging days of the 1940s and 1950s, borrowing some of the Rat Pack lingo and the zoot suits that characterized this ever-popular era. Formed in Los Angeles in 1992, the group built up a loyal fan base of Gen-Xers who were swingin' to the sounds of the great big bands. When the 1996 comedy film "Swingers" was released featuring Big Bad Voodoo Daddy on its soundtrack, popularity soared. By 1998 the group had released several more songs, sold more than three million albums, and performed with Stevie Wonder and Gloria Estefan at Super Bowl XXXIII. By 2003, the group expanded their sound to include elements of "The Big Easy" — jazz, swamp funk and Cajun. One year later the group dug even deeper into hardcore jazz and swing, performing the music of Cab Calloway. There is only one Big Bad Voodoo Daddy! You will be under their spell before the evening ends.
